Joy Hides A Secret Novel In 'One Of A Kind Romance,' Premiering November 9

Red Velvet's Joy and Kim Hyun Jin have been unveiled in new stills from the upcoming webtoon-based drama One of a Kind Romance, Soompi reports.

The series pairs Joy as Gong Yu Il, an ordinary woman on the job hunt who unexpectedly ends up managing Tak Mu I (Kim Hyun Jin), a top star carrying the emotional scars of a stalking incident.

The newly released images frame Gong Yu Il as a job seeker who finds both employment and dating to be no easy task. She pieces together a living from part-time work while preparing for her career, and though she has no standout credentials, her writing is strong enough to score high marks on cover letter screenings.

What she keeps quiet is bigger than that. Gong Yu Il once wrote a novel titled "Star and Half-Moon," then declared she would stop writing and has lived since while concealing her identity as its author.

Kim Hyun Jin's Tak Mu I is in his 19th year since debuting as a child actor, an actor who climbed to the top of his field on looks, ability and relentless work while hiding pain behind the glamour. Persistent threats from a stalker have left him with anxiety and insomnia.

His comfort through those stretches is rereading the unfinished "Star and Half-Moon." When he meets the woman holding its unpublished sequel, he starts to take an interest, and the dynamic flips once Gong Yu Il accidentally becomes his manager.

From there the drama tracks a chance meeting turning into a sweet and heartfelt relationship, with two people carrying their own wounds supporting and comforting each other as the key point to watch.

Joy also stars in the drama The One and Only, while Kim Hyun Jin appears in IDOL I.

One of a Kind Romance premieres November 9 at 6 p.m. KST, which is 4 a.m. ET that morning.
