Kim Hye-yoon has received an offer to lead Iseop’s Romance, the office romance drama also linked to Hwang Min-hyun. Her casting is still under review.
What the agencies have said
On October 1, Artist Company said Kim had been offered a role and was considering it. She would play Kang Min-gyeong, a capable employee at TK Group who becomes closely involved with one of the company’s heirs.
The same day’s casting report named Hwang as Tae I-seop, the heir at the center of the story. PLEDIS Entertainment addressed his offer on September 15, saying he had received a proposal but nothing was confirmed.
The two actors have not been confirmed as the lead pair. Kim’s new offer adds another name to the project, but the agency responses still leave the final cast open.

PLEDIS EntertainmentWhat is Iseop’s Romance about?
The drama is based on a web novel by Kim Eon-hee, which also has a comic adaptation. It follows an unlikely office couple: a skilled employee and a company heir who struggles with romance.
In the comic, Min-gyeong has spent ten years at TK Group and earns a promotion to senior manager. She is then assigned as I-seop’s secretary. They joined the company at the same time, and her stronger performance during their training has long annoyed him.
The English comic writes the leads’ names as Mingyeong Kang and Iseop Tae, rather than Kang Min-gyeong and Tae I-seop.
