The Practical Guide to Love: Han Ji Min, Park Sung Hoon, and Lee Ki Taek Ignite a Fiery Love Triangle in JTBC’s New Drama
JTBC’s upcoming weekend drama The Practical Guide to Love (original title: 미혼남녀의 효율적 만남) has unveiled its third teaser, sparking excitement with a captivating love triangle centered around Han Ji Min, Park Sung Hoon, and Lee Ki Taek. The series, adapted from the popular Naver webtoon by writer Tari, is set to premiere on February 28 at 10:40 PM.
The teaser begins with a striking scene inside a cathedral, where Lee Ui Young (played by Han Ji Min) and Song Tae Seob (played by Park Sung Hoon) share a dangerously close moment. Tae Seob’s bold confession—“Yesterday, we kissed”—immediately heightens the tension. Shocked, Shin Ji Soo (played by Lee Ki Taek) demands confirmation from Ui Young, leaving her flustered and visibly conflicted.
From this moment, the rivalry between the two men intensifies. Song Tae Seob, described as “the man like nourishing chicken soup,” shows his tender side by visiting Ui Young at her workplace and declaring, “When it comes to what I love, I don’t care about efficiency.” His sincerity and warmth highlight his steady, dependable charm.
On the other hand, Shin Ji Soo, dubbed “the man like fiery hot chicken,” makes his presence felt with bold, direct advances. Despite being younger, he confidently calls Ui Young by name and promises, “I’ll make it much more fun than that guy.” His daring approach and playful energy create a sharp contrast to Tae Seob’s gentleness, pulling Ui Young—and viewers—into a whirlwind of emotions.
Caught between these two contrasting forces, Ui Young’s reactions add to the drama’s allure. Torn between sweetness and intensity, she finds herself swayed by both men. In one memorable moment, when the two suitors appear before her simultaneously bearing gifts, Ui Young admits with disarming honesty, “This is trouble… I’m thrilled,” perfectly capturing the blend of tension and excitement that defines the series.
The Practical Guide to Love promises a rich romance that balances tender affection with fiery passion. By exploring the dynamics between Ui Young, Tae Seob, and Ji Soo, the drama raises anticipation for a story that delivers both heart-fluttering sweetness and high-stakes emotional conflict.
The production team describes the series as the journey of a woman who, determined to find love, enters the world of blind dates and encounters two men with vastly different charms. As she is drawn in, shaken, and challenged by their presence, she ultimately discovers the true meaning of love.
With its engaging premise, charismatic cast, and already buzzworthy teasers, The Practical Guide to Love is poised to captivate audiences when it premieres on JTBC on February 28 at 10:40 PM.
