Park Seo Joon is set to return to the small screen this December with the JTBC drama Surely Tomorrow, taking on the role of a veteran entertainment journalist caught in a scandalous love triangle. The drama’s premise has already drawn attention, intertwining romance and media intrigue, with hints of a cheating scandal at the center of the story.
The drama follows Lee Gyeong-do (played by Park Seo Joon) and Seo Ji-woo (played by Won Ji-an), former lovers who reconnect years later under highly complicated circumstances. Gyeong-do is now a deputy chief reporter at the entertainment section of Dongwoon Ilbo. Calm and sincere, he becomes the center of controversy after breaking a sensational story involving a chaebol heir and a celebrity’s affair only to discover that the woman involved is now married to the very man he exposed.
Their unexpected reunion ignites a new storm in Gyeong-do’s quiet life. As the former couple relives bittersweet memories, the drama explores themes of unresolved love, regret, and emotional complexity. A standout line from Gyeong-do’s personal letter Maybe I’m not Ji-woo’s destiny, but her misfortune hints at the tangled emotions that await.
Adding further emotional depth, the story is narrated from both characters’ perspectives. Ji-woo’s reflective writings recount their past love and heartbreak, intensifying curiosity about the journey that led them from youthful passion to painful estrangement, and ultimately, to this unexpected reunion.
The show brings together JTBC’s hit-making team: director Lim Hyun-wook (King the Land, Reflection of You) and screenwriter Yoo Young-ah (Wedding Dress, Thirty-Nine, Divorce Attorney Shin), heightening expectations for another success.
Park Seo Joon previously made waves as Park Sae-royi in Itaewon Class, which peaked at an impressive 16.5% viewership. Now, fans are eager to see whether his return in Surely Tomorrow will mark another career-defining moment, especially with the added intrigue of a character entangled in a high-profile affair. The emotional tension and scandalous setup promise to make this one of JTBC’s most talked-about dramas this winter.
