Actor Song Joong-ki (41) is making a comeback with Park Ji-hyun (32) in the romantic comedy 'Love Cloud'.

KBS 2TV's Tuesday-Wednesday mini-series 'Love Cloud' (directed by Song Min-yeop, written by Team Madrabbit) tells the story of air traffic controller Kang Woo-joo (played by Song Joong-ki), whose heart is reflected in the weather after a breakup, and pilot Ahn Ha-neui (played by Park Ji-hyun), who is cursed to have her emotions manifest as clouds. Amidst love's unpredictable and fickle nature—much like the weather—the dynamic romance between these two will deliver laughter, excitement, and warm comfort without a dull moment.

'Love Cloud' is expected to draw great anticipation, with director Song Min-yeop, known for his delicate and sensory-rich direction in dramas such as 'High Cookie' and 'Youth of May', at the helm, complemented by the fresh and witty writing of rookie team 'Team Madrabbit'.

Most notably, the creative team behind the highly acclaimed 2022 drama 'The Youngest Son of a Chaebol Family', which achieved a viewership rating of 26.9%, has reunited with Song Joong-ki and Park Ji-hyun for the first time in four years. All eyes are now on the romantic comedy they will create together. In particular, Song Joong-ki's return to KBS drama marks his first appearance on the network since the legendary hit 'Descendants of the Sun' (2016), written by Kim Eun-sook and which nearly reached a 40% viewership rating. His comeback with another romantic comedy following that series has already sparked interest in whether he will once again create a box office legend.

In the drama, Song Joong-ki plays Kang Woo-joo, a former flight instructor turned air traffic controller who confronts Ahn Ha-neui's emotions through the weather. Known as the "Mad Captain" for his ability to freeze runways just by appearing, Kang Woo-joo left flying behind and settled in Jeju, where he now works as an air traffic controller. Though he is the ace of the control tower, equipped with quick decision-making skills and fluent English, he is a man who clearly separates work from personal life—his hobby is lying down and observing clouds. One day, while chasing clouds after his days as a strict elite instructor faded into memory, Ahn Ha-neui suddenly appears like a bolt from the blue, setting off a chain of events that once again alters Kang Woo-joo's life trajectory.

Song Joong-ki shared, "When I first read the script, I found it very interesting how Ahn Ha-neui's emotions were connected to the clouds. I'm happy to be working with Park Ji-hyun again in another project, and I believe we can deliver great synergy once more."

He added, "I am especially honored to work with director Song Min-yeop, who directed 'Youth of May', a drama I have long admired. With such talented directors, writers, and actors involved, I will do my best to convey the charm of this work to viewers."

Park Ji-hyun portrays Ahn Ha-neui, a pilot whose weather changes according to her mood. Ahn Ha-neui is a workaholic who takes on any task others avoid in pursuit of promotion. Suddenly, she becomes cursed with the ability for her emotions to manifest as unpredictable weather. To make matters worse, she reunites with Kang Woo-joo, her "ex-boyfriend," reigniting deep-seated feelings buried within her heart.

Park Ji-hyun said, "While reading the script, I laughed and cried, unable to let go of the tension as I became deeply immersed in the story. I am truly delighted to be part of 'Love Cloud', and I will strive to grow alongside Ahn Ha-neui and deliver a delightful sense of excitement to viewers. Please look forward to it with great expectations and support."

'Love Cloud' is scheduled to air in 2027.
