In tvN's new drama "Embassy of Foreign Nations," "Romance Master" Lee Jun-ho, known for his delicate emotional acting that has won hearts, will meet Hong Hwa-yeon, who has emerged as a "top-tier actor" by delivering powerful performances in every role she takes on.

The drama "Embassy of Foreign Nations" (script by Shin Ha-eun, directed by Bae Hyun-jin) is a mysterious and beautiful romantic comedy about a human rookie diplomat accidentally assigned to the "Embassy of Foreign Nations," which manages foreign nationals residing in South Korea, and an ambassador whose true identity is a dragon.

"Embassy of Foreign Nations" is the world's most secret diplomatic mission, where non-human beings such as haechi (mythical lion-dogs), mermaids, and nine-tailed foxes from the foreign nation "I-guk," which uses the character "" (meaning different), coexist with humans without causing chaos. This original work, planned by writer Shin Ha-eun who penned "Cha Cha Cha in the Coastal Village" and "My Mother's Friend's Son," is expected to attract attention for its unique worldview that blends fantasy imagination with the modern and public system of an "embassy." Directors Bae Hyun-jin, who co-directed "Big Mouth" and "Revenant: Light and Shadow" and directed "Hierarchy," have joined forces to present a heart-fluttering emotional fantasy.

Among them, Lee Jun-ho joins as the lead, further raising expectations. In the drama, Lee Jun-ho plays the head of the most eccentric embassy and takes on the role of Cha Yeon from Yongin. Cha Yeon, a water god (수신), has a temperament as fluid as water itself—gentle and calm like water embracing all things, yet violently turbulent like a mountain collapsing. When a human who will not live more than a hundred years crash-lands before this beautiful and lonely being who has remained on this land for over a thousand years, cracks finally appear in his monotonous life.

Lee Jun-ho has received praise as an actor who "changes faces in every work," traversing a wide range of genres from historical dramas to romantic comedies, youth growth stories, and hero tales through works such as "The Red Sleeve," "King the Land," "Typhoon Company," and "Cashier." Among these, he has built solid trust in romance with his delicate and deep emotional lines. As he takes on an otherworldly character for the first time since his debut, "Embassy of Foreign Nations" is expected to become a stage where he can fully showcase his honed acting skills.

Hong Hwa-yeon has been cast as Go Mi-woo, the human rookie diplomat who will share the screen with Lee Jun-ho, the head of the Embassy of Foreign Nations. Go Mi-woo is a former gold medalist in archery at the Asian Games and is the "human rookie diplomat" assigned to the "Embassy of Foreign Nations," where humans are not allowed to enter.

Hong Hwa-yeon made a strong impression on viewers with her powerful acting after being selected from 100-to-1 odds in "Treasure Island." She then starred in successive hit works such as "Your Taste," "Confession of a Master," and "Secret Gratitude," establishing herself as a top-tier actor. In particular, Hong Hwa-yeon succeeded in transforming her acting by delivering performances that heightened the tension and immersion of the plot in "Secret Gratitude." With "Embassy of Foreign Nations," she is set to solidify her position as a rom-com queen.

Meanwhile, "Embassy of Foreign Nations" is scheduled to be broadcast on tvN.
