The Practical Guide to Love: Han Ji-min Embarks on a Chaotic Dating Journey in JTBC’s New Romance Drama
JTBC’s upcoming weekend drama “The Practical Guide to Love” (original title: Efficient Meeting of Single Men and Women) is set to premiere on February 28 at 10:40 PM KST. Written by Lee I-jin and directed by Lee Jae-hoon, the series follows a woman who decides to pursue love through blind dates, only to find herself torn between two very different men. Through laughter, confusion, and heartfelt encounters, she gradually discovers the true meaning of love.
Han Ji-min’s Character: A Career Woman New to Romance
Han Ji-min stars as Lee Yi-young, a polished hotel professional admired for her flawless work ethic. Despite her success, she is inexperienced in romance. In the newly released second teaser, her colleagues jokingly mistake her for someone who has sworn off dating, revealing her awkwardness in matters of the heart.
A Turning Point: From Loneliness to Bold Declaration
The teaser highlights Yi-young’s solitary lifestyle, which prompts a shocking comment about whether she might “die alone.” This remark sparks a crisis within her, leading to her determined outburst: “I’ll do it! I’ll go on blind dates!” Her declaration marks the beginning of a dramatic shift in her everyday life.
Blind Dates Full of Surprises
Once Yi-young begins her dating journey, her reactions range from flustered to fascinated. One suitor boldly claims he will make her his muse, leaving her speechless, while another impresses her with his looks, causing her to fumble awkwardly in her own bedroom. These contrasting encounters promise a dynamic and entertaining exploration of modern romance.
A Drama About Balancing Work and Love
“The Practical Guide to Love” cleverly portrays Yi-young as a woman who is a master at work but a novice in love. The teaser builds anticipation for her chaotic yet heartfelt dating experiences, raising the question: Can Yi-young succeed in both career and romance?
