Tell Me That You Love Me follows the story of Cha Jin-woo (Jung Woo-sung), a hearing-impaired person who enjoys his solitude and can freely interact with people, but is also met with much prejudice about his character.
Describing his character, Woo-sung reportedly said, “The drama contemplates on communication through Jin Woo by looking at how well we, who communicate through phonetic language, understand the words of others, how accurately we convey our words, how it works in love between opposite sexes, and whether we are communicating incorrectly under the pretext of using the same language.”
Meanwhile, Shin Hyun-been plays the role of aspiring actress Jung Mo-eun with huge self-respect and career ambitions. Highlighting the difference in the lead actors’ characters, she said, “I hope viewers will enjoy the heartwarming story and excitement that only this drama has through the two people who understand and love each other even though they speak different languages. We will work hard to create a great project until the end, so please show lots of interest and anticipation.”
Jung Woo-sung was last seen in the movie A Man of Reason, and Shin Hyun-been was seen on Reborn Rich. Stay tuned for more updates on their latest K-drama.
