On January 22, the production team of Our Universe released the first stills of Roh Jeong-eui , who stars as Woo Hyun-jin , a passionate job seeker struggling with the realities of her 20s. The images capture her juggling part-time work and job interviews, vividly portraying both the pressures of youth and her unwavering determination to move forward.
The stills also hint at a major turning point in Hyun-jin’s life. After unexpectedly becoming the guardian of her 20-month-old nephew Woo-joo , she is forced to take on adult responsibilities earlier than planned. Scenes of her looking exhausted while caring for the baby foreshadow emotional growth and personal change.
Even before its premiere, Our Universe is drawing attention for the pairing of Roh Jeong-eui and Bae In-hyuk , two actors recognized for steadily building strong filmographies across a wide range of genres.
Roh Jeong-eui began her career as a child actress and has consistently impressed audiences with her stable acting skills and delicate emotional expression. She left lasting impressions through dramas such as Pinocchio , 18 Again , and Our Beloved Summer , gradually establishing herself as a relatable figure for youthful, realistic characters. In recent years, she has expanded her range through works like Witch’s Court Is Still Alive and Hierarchy , showcasing her ability to portray both bright, lovable roles and darker, emotionally complex characters.
Bae In-hyuk, though relatively late to gain widespread recognition, has quickly built a strong presence in the industry. He has delivered reliable performances in romance and youth-centered dramas such as XX , My Roommate Is a Gumiho , Cheer Up , and The Story of Park’s Marriage Contract . Known for balancing warmth and seriousness depending on the role, he has developed a distinct acting tone that resonates with viewers.
Our Universe tells the story of a man and a woman with an awkward family connection who suddenly find themselves living together to raise a child. Neither quite family nor complete strangers, the two gradually grow closer as they navigate cohabitation, childcare, and their own unresolved emotions.
The drama is directed by Lee Hyun-seok and Jung Yeo-jin , with a script by Soo-jin and Shin Yi-hyun . Alongside Roh Jeong-eui, the cast includes Bae In-hyuk and Park Seo-ham .
Our Universe is scheduled to premiere on February 4 at 10:40 p.m. KST on tvN and will run for 12 episodes .
