Jung Gun Joo Dishes On His New Historical Romance With Shin Ye Eun

Feb 23, 2023

Jung Gun Joo has shared his thoughts on his upcoming SBS drama “The Secret Romantic Guesthouse”!

Based on the hit web novel of the same name, “The Secret Romantic Guesthouse” is a mystery romance about an unconventional boarding house and three students who stay there as lodgers. Shin Ye Eun will star as Yoon Dan Oh, the owner of boarding house Yihwawon, while Ryeo Woon, Kang Hoon, and Jung Gun Joo will play three “flower scholars” who rent rooms—and are each hiding their own secrets.

Jung Gun Joo will play Jung Yoo Ha, a sensitive and clever scholar who harbors hidden emotional wounds.

Explaining why he was drawn to “The Secret Romantic Guesthouse” and his role in particular, Jung Gun Joo recalled, “One of the genres I’d always wanted to try doing is historical dramas. And if you look at the character of Jung Yoo Ha, he’s strong-willed, but he also has a lot of [emotional] pain. If you look at him closely, he has a very soft side, and I really wanted to portray that aspect of him.”
