K-pop star TWICE member Dahyun will be making her acting debut in the new drama Love Me. World Biz Well Sports World unveiled the announcement on November 5.
In “Love Me,” Dahyun, reportedly, will play the role of Yoon Sol, a dance crew leader. She’s portrayed as a popular and reliable character who seamlessly manages her relationships and career.
Drawing from a Swedish series of the same name, the drama dives into topics of isolation and romance, telling the story of a woman who seemingly has it all—alluding to wealth, fortune, and good looks—while searching for an answer as something seems missing.
The script of Love Me is written by Park Eun-young and Park Hee-kwon, who previously worked on JTBC’s The Third Charm and Tving’s I Just Haven’t Done My Best Yet. Production is set to begin in early 2022.
