The most welcome name in the variety show scene for the second half of this year is the 'Damo Couple.' Interest is surging as news spreads that Lee Seo-jin and Ha Ji-won, who showed touching chemistry in the 2003 drama, have reunited in a variety show with a completely different format 23 years later. This is through the SBS variety show 'I Will Do Anything – Secretary-Jin,' which is scheduled to air on October 30.
The very premise of the two reuniting in a variety show rather than a drama, and in a completely new relationship as a "star and manager" rather than lovers, is drawing attention. With the addition of overseas filming, anticipation is building even before the broadcast.
What kind of work was Damo?
‘'Damo' is an MBC drama that aired in 2003.
It is known as a work that garnered significant attention at the time, with Lee Seo-jin playing the role of Hwang Bo-yoon and Ha Ji-won playing the role of Jang Chae-ok. The reason their chemistry is still mentioned even after all this time is that it has been difficult to see them together on television for 23 years since the drama ended. Consequently, it is being said that the symbolism of this reunion is considerable.
How did you meet again within the secretarial staff?
The two reunited in this broadcast as a 'star and manager'.
‘"I Will Do Anything – Secretary-Jin" is a variety show featuring regular cast members Lee Seo-jin and Kim Kwang-kyu acting as managers to provide close care for each episode's guest, known as "My Star." With Ha Ji-won appearing as this episode's My Star, the roles of former drama lovers have effectively been reversed, with the former lovers becoming a star and a manager on the variety show. The fact that the two, who were co-stars in a drama, are reuniting under a completely different setting is considered a key point to watch in this broadcast.
What kind of scenes unfolded at the reunion scene?
The long-awaited reunion began with a warm hug.
Ha Ji-won shared her feelings about reuniting with Lee Seo-jin, saying, “It feels like a dream. That I am filming with Seo-jin oppa.” Immediately after their reunion, Lee Seo-jin lightened the mood with a playful remark, “Who are you?” He then revealed his signature mischievousness by tossing out his signature joke, “Ji-won is much prettier these days, isn’t she? She wasn’t this pretty back then.” This style of speech, which sounds like a compliment but takes a surprising turn, is interpreted as the comfortable ease that can only exist between people who have known each other for a long time.
Behind the playful remarks, a tender side followed. Lee Seo-jin promised a gift to Ha Ji-won without hesitation as she looked at sunglasses, showing a mix of playfulness and caring.
Where was the overseas filming taken?
The filming location for this episode is Singapore.
Lee Seo-jin and Kim Kwang-kyu accompanied Ha Ji-won as her managers to Singapore, providing close daily care, and the episode also captured scenes of them watching the Singapore F1 race together. Although the specific race schedule or the name of the Grand Prix has not been revealed, it is expected to offer another spectacle, as the care process takes place overseas, away from the familiar studio setting.
When can I watch the broadcast?
The episode is scheduled to air on SBS on Friday, October 30 at 11:10 PM.
However, since this schedule is based on the planned broadcast time, it is safer to verify the schedule with the possibility of changes in mind. It is recommended to check the exact time again via the official program schedule or SBS announcements before and after the broadcast.
