Currently, the home theater is in the midst of a ‘Choo Young-woo fever.’ Choo Young-woo, who received recognition for his dual-role acting with a 13.6% viewership rating for the recently concluded JTBC drama ‘The Tale of Lady Ok,’ has captured the public’s heart through his role in the Netflix series ‘Severe Trauma Center.’ Despite being in his 5th year since debut, he’s been attracting attention for his continuous work. After ‘The Tale of Lady Ok and ‘Severe Trauma Center,’ he has upcoming projects, including Netflix’s ‘Mercy for None,’ set to release in April, and tvN’s ‘The Cowherd and the Fairy,’ scheduled for June. In ‘Mercy for None,’ he’ll star alongside So Ji-sub and Heo Jun-ho in a noir action film, while in ‘The Cowherd and the Fairy,’ he’ll portray a fantasy romance with Jo Hyun.

Especially, the drama ‘The Cowherd and the Fairy,’ which CJ is promoting as the ‘second Lovely Runner,’ is gaining attention. Based on a webtoon of the same name, ‘The Cowherd and the Fairy’ is a fantasy romance drama about a high school girl shaman who personally saves her first love. The time travel element, as she tries to save her favorite, shares a similar vibe with ‘Lovely Runner,’ raising expectations for Choo Young-woo’s performance.
