Han Hyo Ju to star in Japanese Netflix series alongside Shun Oguri

Actress Han Hyo Ju will appear in a Japanese Netflix series. Han Hyo Ju's new work, in which she co-stars with Japanese actor Shun Oguri, is about a genius who is so timid that he finds daily life inconvenient.
The story follows a talented chocolatier who gets a job at a small chocolate shop.
This is Han Hyo Ju's first romantic comedy in a long time, following her appearances in "Moving," "Believer 2," and "Dominant Species."
Han Hyo Ju, who has been praised for her new look and character-tailored acting in each production, is drawing attention for the unique charm she will show. The direction of this production is loved by many fans in Korea as well.
The series will be directed by Tsukikawa Sho, director of the hit film "I Want to Eat Your Pancreas," with Korean production company YONG FILM in charge of overall production, and is scheduled to be released as a Netflix series in Japan.
In particular, this work is attracting attention for its ensemble of leading Korean and Japanese actors, including Han Hyo Ju, Shun Oguri, Jin Akanishi, and Yuri Nakamura.
In the play, Han Hyo Ju plays the heroine Hana, a genius chocolatier who has been hiding her true identity due to her scopophobia, while Oguri Shun plays a chocolate lover who suffers from germaphobia due to past trauma.
Han Hyo Ju will play the role of Fujiwara Sosuke, the representative of a rate shop. Regarding his participation in the work, he said, "I am happy to be able to appear in a collaborative work between Korea and Japan.
I am approaching filming with the mindset of a new actor, feeling a fresh sense of tension. I will do my best until the very end to create a good work. I ask for your interest and support."
Meanwhile, filming for a new series starring Han Hyo Ju is progressing smoothly in Japan and is scheduled to be released exclusively worldwide on Netflix in 2025.
