Jung Jin-young of B1A4 is set to star in new drama series Summer Vacation, one of several dramas that have announced their cast line-ups.

The sweltering summer heat isn’t preventing the Korean drama industry from pushing forward with new dramas, as several anticipated projects recently started filming or are about to enter production.

These include an adaptation of a hit webtoon, a procedural drama and a follow-up season to a popular fantasy-mystery series.

Seasons of Blossom

The popular 2020 webtoon Seasons of Blossom is gearing up for a K-drama adaptation. Production company Playlist Studio has confirmed that Dr Romantic 2 and Lovestruck in the City actress So Ju-yeon and Seo Ji-hoon of Flower Crew: Joseon Marriage Agency have been set as the leads of the show, which will be carried by the Korean streamer Wavve.

The romantic comedy will chronicle the blossoming loves and friendships of a group of 18-year-old students on the cusp of adulthood. The show will unfold in an omnibus format, as it goes through the stories of each member of the group, who all attend Seoyeon High School.

Also confirmed to be joining the cast alongside So and Seo are Kim Min-kyu (A Business Proposal), Kang Hye-won (formerly a member of K-pop group IZ*One) and Yoon Hyun-soo (Racket Boys). Seasons of Blossom is expected to air later this year.
