Rowoon And Cho Yi Hyun Transform Into "The Matchmakers" For Singles In Joseon Dynasty In Upcoming Drama
KBS2’s upcoming Monday-Tuesday drama “The Matchmakers” has dropped new posters!
“The Matchmakers” is a rom-com drama set during the Joseon dynasty. It tells the story of the meeting between the young widower Shim Jung Woo (Rowoon) and young widow Jung Soon Deok (Cho Yi Hyun) as well as the struggle the two go through together to marry off Joseon era’s unmarried women and men who are considered older than the typical prime age range.
Rowoon will take on the role of Shim Jung Woo, the widowed son-in-law of the king who is brilliant enough to become the youngest person to pass the Civil Service Exam. However, he is also a person of misfortune whose chances for a higher social status and future marriage prospects slip away when the princess he’s meant to marry passes away during their wedding ceremony.
In the poster below, Shim Jung Woo wears a purple hanbok (Korean traditional clothing) and a gat (Korean traditional hat) with bamboo straps, exuding charisma as a man of principle.
Cho Yi Hyun will play Jung Soon Deok, the second daughter-in-law of the first vice-premier’s family. She lives a double life as Mrs. Yeo Joo, the best matchmaker in Hanyang City.
In Jung Soon Deok’s character poster, she showcases her charms as Mrs. Yeo Joo with a gache (Korean traditional wig worn by women) and colorful hair accessories.
The production team remarked, “The character teaser posters are created so that the unique characteristics of Shim Jung Woo and Jung Soon Deok, who will be in charge of the marriages of singles in the Joseon Dynasty, can be clearly summarized at a glance. We ask for lots of interest and support for the unpredictable ‘wedding operation’ that Shim Jung Woo and Jung Soon Deok will create which is perfect for the emotional fall season.”
“The Matchmakers” is set to premiere on October 30 at 9:45 p.m. KST and will be available on Viki. Stay tuned!
