Rising star Choo Young-woo is set to take the global stage once again. In an exciting development for K-drama fans, the actor has been officially cast as the lead in the upcoming Netflix series ‘Long Vacation’. Stepping into a role unlike any he has played before, Choo Young-woo will portray a powerful supernatural entity navigating the complexities of human emotion.
A Supernatural Romance: The Plot of ‘Long Vacation’
Written by the acclaimed Jung Hyun-jung and directed by Lee Jung-hyo, ‘Long Vacation’ is a human romance series that explores the collision of two vastly different worlds. The story follows Demon 3375 (played by Choo Young-woo), a high-ranking supernatural being who has existed for centuries without understanding the concept of love.
His life takes an unexpected turn when he receives a new mission that brings him to a scenic seaside village in Korea. There, he encounters Lee Deul-pan (played by Lee Se-young), a resilient and hardworking hotel room attendant. As Demon 3375 becomes entangled in Deul-pan’s life at the hotel, he begins to experience the “incomprehensible” pull of human affection for the first time.

In this Netflix series ‘Long Vacation’, Choo Young-woo is expected to deliver a multi-dimensional performance. His character, Demon 3375, is someone who has always obtained exactly what he desired through his immense powers. However, the unpredictability of human relationships presents a challenge he cannot simply command away.
Fans are eager to see how Choo Young-woo portrays the internal shift of a cold, powerful demon learning to navigate vulnerability and warmth. His ability to add depth and “heart-fluttering” chemistry to his roles suggests that this series will be a standout addition to the 2026 drama lineup.

Whether playing dual roles or intense medical professionals, Choo has demonstrated a dense and persuasive acting style. His filmography reflects a steady growth in both skill and popularity, making his transition into a supernatural lead a highly anticipated event.
