The tangled relationships of the youth of Dongbangguk are garnering intense interest.
In the TVING original series ‘Chunhwa Love Story’ (written by Seo Eun-jung, directed by Lee Kwang-young, produced by Beyond J, SLL, provided by TVING), the princess Hwari (played by Go Ara) is on a quest to find her husband, and as the story reaches its midpoint, the romance between Crown Prince Lee Seung (Son Woo-hyun) and Crown Princess Injeong (Lim Hwa-young), as well as the couple Lee Yeol (Kim Taek) and Lee Ji-won (Han Seung-yeon), is flowing in unpredictable directions, sparking curiosity.
First, Lee Seung and Injeong became a couple at a young age as Crown Prince and Crown Princess and have spent a long time together. Since their marriage was arranged due to political interests, the feelings between them are more about sympathy and camaraderie rather than deep affection. However, after more than ten years of marriage without an heir, they are facing pressure from all sides, and they are barely managing obligatory meetings. Thus, it was natural for the relationship between Lee Seung and Injeong to become distant.
Moreover, a crisis arises when Lee Seung falls in love with a woman he meets while on a secret mission, Hee-ryeon (Choi Yoon-ra). Injeong is also in a situation where she cannot step outside the palace even after the death of a close friend, and she is fed up with those around her who only chant for her to bear an heir for the sake of power.
The confrontation between Lee Seung, who stands before a new love, and Injeong, who wants to determine her own worth, is foreshadowing upheaval. It remains to be seen what changes will come to their married life, which has endured for ten years more out of pity than love.
Meanwhile, Lee Yeol and Lee Ji-won have also maintained an implicit engagement since childhood. However, Lee Yeol, who was clumsy in romance, caused a stir by visiting a gisaeng house to seek sympathy, which greatly hurt Ji-won's pride. Although it was an attempt to impress Ji-won, Lee Yeol's blunders in romance led to mistakes, and he did not hesitate to kneel and offer a heartfelt apology. This incident allowed the two to confirm each other's feelings properly, and they held their wedding with everyone's blessings.
After becoming a couple, they are experiencing a more exciting and special daily life because they are each other's first. Moreover, Lee Yeol's foolishly devoted side, which only looks at Ji-won, adds to the charm. Lee Yeol and Ji-won seem to be growing into a more mature version of themselves, having passed through their childish days. As they each contribute in their own way to the crisis shaking the palace, the couple's future as members of the royal family is becoming intriguing.
Thus, the stories of the two couples surrounding Dongbangguk are alternating between sweet and salty, enriching the romance of ‘Chunhwa Love Story’. Even though the times are different, the struggles of youth wandering in love resonate, creating a sense of empathy and anticipation for the next story.
The increasingly exciting TVING original series ‘Chunhwa Love Story’ will release episodes 7 and 8 on the 27th at 12 PM.
