Romantic comedy fans, get ready—Channel A is about to serve up a heart-fluttering new drama that blends humor, heartfelt emotions, and the messy unpredictability of love. Their upcoming weekend series, “Positively Yours,” based on a popular webtoon, has just dropped a character highlight video, and it’s already sparking excitement among viewers.
A Love Story That Starts With a Twist
At the center of “Positively Yours” is a premise that feels both daring and refreshingly relatable. What happens when two people who have sworn off marriage find themselves tied together by fate after a one-night stand? That’s exactly the situation for Kang Du Jun and Jang Hui Won, played by Choi Jin Hyuk and Oh Yeon Seo.
Du Jun is the charismatic CEO of Taehan Liquor, a second-generation chaebol who seemingly has it all—wealth, power, and ambition. Hui Won, meanwhile, is the youngest-ever manager in Taehan Liquor’s product development team. She’s the kind of woman who scores a perfect 100 at work but a zero in love, proudly declaring that marriage is not in her plans.
Both characters are unapologetically career-driven, with Du Jun even quipping, “I don’t even have enough time to work so I sacrifice my sleep—why would I invest in something as inefficient as marriage?” It’s a sharp, witty line that perfectly captures the drama’s playful tone.
From Responsibility to Real Feelings
Their story takes a dramatic turn when Hui Won becomes pregnant after their brief encounter. What begins as a sense of responsibility quickly evolves into something deeper. Du Jun’s declaration, “I’ve made up my mind. I’m going to marry you,” and Hui Won’s hesitant, “Let’s try love properly,” mark the beginning of a journey where duty slowly transforms into genuine affection.
As the two navigate their unconventional relationship, viewers are treated to moments of vulnerability, humor, and undeniable chemistry. The drama doesn’t shy away from exploring the emotional baggage both characters carry—Du Jun’s lingering guilt from his past and Hui Won’s skepticism about marriage shaped by her parents’ unhappy relationship.
Dreams, Dilemmas, and Heartache
Just when things seem to be settling, Hui Won is selected for a prestigious German study-abroad program she has long dreamed of. This opportunity forces her to confront the delicate balance between her career ambitions and her evolving feelings for Du Jun.
In one poignant moment, she tells him, “I know you’re being considerate because of the baby, but please don’t be so good to me.” It’s a heartbreaking line that shows her inner conflict—pushing him away while her heart still races whenever he’s near. Du Jun, too, finds himself questioning his emotions, confessing, “Does this mean I like you?”
Supporting Characters Who Steal the Spotlight
Adding more depth to the story are Min Uk and Mi Ran, played by Hong Jong Hyun and Dasom.
- Min Uk is Hui Won’s longtime friend, a soulmate-like figure who has always been by her side. Initially baffled when asked if he likes her, he slowly realizes his own feelings as Du Jun enters her life. His quiet jealousy and growing awareness add a layer of tension to the love triangle.
- Mi Ran, Hui Won’s drinking buddy and dependable older-sister figure, brings humor and warmth. Her playful flirting with Min Uk highlights their contrasting personalities, but when she discovers his feelings for Hui Won, she resigns herself with the bittersweet line, “Why did it have to be Hui Won? I can’t even be jealous.” Her hidden story promises to add even more intrigue.
Together, these supporting characters enrich the drama, making “Positively Yours” more than just a romance—it’s a tapestry of friendships, unspoken emotions, and complicated choices.
Why You Should Be Excited
“Positively Yours” isn’t just another rom-com. It’s a story about modern love, career ambitions, and the courage to face past wounds. With its mix of witty banter, heartfelt confessions, and relatable dilemmas, the drama is poised to resonate with anyone who has ever struggled to balance work, love, and personal dreams.
The character highlight video already hints at the emotional rollercoaster ahead, and fans of both the original webtoon and K-dramas in general are eagerly waiting to see how this unconventional love story unfolds.
So mark your calendars—Channel A’s “Positively Yours” is shaping up to be the weekend drama that will make you laugh, cry, and maybe even rethink what love really means.
