Actor Ji Chang-wook will showcase a high-sugar strawberry field romance in 'Merry Berry Love'.

CJ ENM's global content 'Merry Berry Love' (directed by Kim Soo-jung and Noh Young-seop / written by Lee Jae-yoon) is a cross-border, sweet-and-sour romance between Lee Yu-bin (played by Ji Chang-wook), a Korean space planner whose career has collapsed, and Japanese female farmer Shirahama Karin (played by Imada Mio), set on a beautiful island. This joint production project marks the first collaboration between 'Global IP Powerhouse' CJ ENM and Japanese terrestrial broadcaster Nippon TV.

Among these developments, the 'Merry Berry Love' production team released Ji Chang-wook's first character still on the 14th. In the drama, Ji Chang-wook plays Lee Yu-bin, a space planner who was highly successful in Korea but lost everything overnight and heads to Charo Island. As a perfectionist by nature, he meets the lovely and passionate strawberry farmer Karin, leading to an unexpected life change.

In the still, Ji Chang-wook exudes the aura of a dedicated professional fully immersed in his work. His crisp shirt fit radiates warmth, while his sharp focus as he carefully examines blueprints vividly displays his top-tier perfectionism in the industry. Ji Chang-wook's flawless appearance both in work and looks instantly captivates viewers.

Additionally, images of Ji Chang-wook stepping into a strawberry field have drawn attention. Unlike his previous look, Ji Chang-wook's expression with a gentle smile adds a heart-fluttering point. His sweet gaze, as sweet as the plump strawberries, instantly transforms the rural scenery into a romantic atmosphere. Viewers are increasingly curious about what surprising side Ji Chang-wook, once a perfectionist professional, will reveal in the strawberry fields of Charo Island, and how the 'strawberry man' Ji Chang-wook, who stirs excitement simply by his presence, will perform.

Regarding 'Merry Berry Love', Ji Chang-wook shared, "When I received the script, I felt that the character was well-suited to me yet approachable in a familiar way. His passion for work also resonated with my own traits. Reading the script made me excited and eager throughout." He continued, "'Merry Berry Love' is a bright, cheerful, and lovely work, so laughter never ceased on set. I hope everyone will watch closely how Yu-bin finds love after meeting Karin and how he grows along the way," adding to the anticipation.

Lee Sang-hwa, CP of 'Merry Berry Love', stated, "Ji Chang-wook has proven his acting skills and presence through various well-made productions, building his own unique aura. Even when portraying romance, he is an actor who expresses emotions with great depth." He further revealed that viewers will get to see new sides of Ji Chang-wook not previously shown through this project.

The global project 'Merry Berry Love', a collaboration between CJ ENM and Ji Chang-wook, will be premiered worldwide on OTT Disney+ on October 7 and is scheduled to air weekly on Wednesdays on Japanese terrestrial broadcaster Nippon TV.
