Exciting news is stirring in the K-drama world as reports emerge that Oh Yeon Seo and Choi Jin Hyuk are being considered to lead the drama adaptation of “Positively Yours”, a romantic story that originally found popularity as both a web novel and a webtoon.
On June 16, 2025, it was reported that Oh Yeon Seo has been cast in the lead female role, while Choi Jin Hyuk is positively reviewing an offer to star opposite her.
If confirmed, the pairing would mark a compelling on-screen duo for what promises to be a refreshingly modern romantic drama.
The original story of “Positively Yours” first captivated readers with its school-based setting, featuring a romance between a teacher and a school board chairman.
However, for its television adaptation, the backdrop will shift significantly, trading the academic world for the corporate one.
The new setting is expected to breathe fresh life into the plot while still preserving the emotional beats and romantic intensity that made the source material such a hit.
The drama will center on Jang Hee Won, a driven and independent woman who has completely sworn off marriage.
Career-focused and dedicated to her job, she works long hours, sacrificing her personal life in pursuit of professional success.
However, her well-ordered life is suddenly thrown into disarray after a one-night encounter results in an unexpected pregnancy.
To complicate matters further, the father of the baby is Kang Doo Joon, the president of an affiliated company within her organization.
Rather than turning away from the situation, he insists on marrying her, igniting a whirlwind romance filled with tension, transformation, and unexpected emotional depth.
Oh Yeon Seo is reportedly being considered for the role of Jang Hee Won, a character who perfectly matches her ability to portray strong, complex women with layers of vulnerability.
Choi Jin Hyuk, if confirmed, would take on the role of Kang Doo Joon, a character likely to showcase both his commanding screen presence and softer romantic side—something fans have long admired in his past roles.
Choi Jin Hyuk’s agency, ANIC ENT, responded to the casting news by confirming that he is “positively reviewing the offer,” though no official confirmation has been made from Oh Yeon Seo’s side as of yet.
Nevertheless, anticipation is already building among fans of both actors and the original story.
Given the immense popularity of “Positively Yours” as a webtoon and novel both in Korea and internationally, expectations for the drama adaptation are high.
With a compelling storyline that blends romance, workplace dynamics, and unexpected life changes, the series could offer a refreshing take on the classic enemies-to-lovers or contract-marriage trope, with added emotional weight and maturity.
As the production continues to take shape, fans are eagerly awaiting casting confirmations and further details.
In the meantime, viewers can watch Oh Yeon Seo in “The Player 2: Master of Swindlers” and Choi Jin Hyuk in “Numbers”, both currently available for streaming.
