Actors Kim Woo-bin and Bae Suzy will be leading a new romantic comedy series, created by star scriptwriter Kim Eun-sook, who is known for writing the hit series “Mr. Sunshine” and “The Glory.”

Hwa&Dam Pictures, the local production company, confirmed that both actors have secured their roles in the series tentatively titled "Everything Shall Come True" planned for release next year.

The 12-episode fantasy rom-com will follow the story of Ga-young (played by Bae), an indifferent woman, and a hot-headed genie who has been trapped in a lamp. When Ga-young releases the genie, they become entangled in a series of events and she receives three wishes in return.

The series will be directed by filmmaker Lee Byeong-heon, who previously led the hit movie “Extreme Job” (2019) and the 2019 rom-com series “Be Melodramatic.”

“The best fantasy rom-com requires a captivating story, stunning visuals and exceptional acting. This series has it all,” the production company said in the release. “Writer Kim Eun-sook's beyond-imaginable storyline, the visual flair that director Lee Byeong-heon will bring with his humorous imagination, and fantastic chemistry between Kim Woo-bin and Bae Suzy will offer a new kind of fantasy rom-com series.”

This will be the first time the two actors will reunite to co-star on a series in seven years since their roles as counterparts in the romance series "Uncontrollably Fond" in 2016.

Kim Woo-bin started his career as a runway model in 2008 and transitioned into acting in 2011 with the mini-series "White Christmas." He rose to stardom through his role in the mega-hit SBS TV series "The Heirs" alongside A-list actors like Lee Min-ho and Park Shin-hye. He has starred in several TV series and films, including the teen romance series "School 2013" and the crime action film "Master.”

After being diagnosed with cancer in 2017, he took a break but made a successful comeback with the heartfelt drama "Our Blues" in 2022. He has also starred in Netflix's recent original series "Black Knight."

Bae, who is also known as Suzy, debuted as a member of the K-pop girl group Miss A in 2010. She ventured into acting with a lead role in the teen series "Dream High" in 2011. Since then, she has starred in various films and TV series, including the action series, "Ashfall" (2019), and the romance series, "Start-Up" (2020).

She is currently working on Netflix's upcoming romance series “Doona!” based on the popular webcomic of the same name.
