Gong Yoo and Song Hye Kyo’s New Drama: What’s the Hype About?

Gong Yoo and Song Hye Kyo are finally teaming up, and I can’t stay calm! They’ve started filming their new drama Slowly and Intensely. And honestly? The new title feels like the perfect vibe.

Filming kicked off on January 12, 2025, and I’m already counting down the days until we see this magic unfold on screen.

What’s the Drama About?

Picture this: the post-Korean War era, a booming entertainment scene, and all the glitz and grit that came with it. That’s the world Slowly and Intensely will take us to. It’s all about the people who helped shape South Korea’s entertainment industry into what it is today. Sounds intriguing, right?

The Dream Team

Behind the scenes, we’ve got:

  • Director Lee Yoon Jung, who gave us Coffee Prince.
  • Writer Noh Hee Kyung, the genius behind That Winter, The Wind Blows (cue the tears)
  • Production by Studio Dragon and GTist, the folks who know how to deliver hits.

And the cast? Oh, it’s a lineup that could make any K-drama fan swoon:

  • Gong Yoo (aka the Goblin himself )
  • Song Hye Kyo (The Glory queen!)
  • Lee Ha Nee, Kim Seol Hyun, and Kim Jeong Woo join the mix too.

When and Where to Watch

Mark your calendars for 2026, because this 24-episode drama is coming to Netflix! Yes, we’ll need patience, but I’ve got a feeling it’ll be worth the wait.

This collab between Gong Yoo and Song Hye Kyo is what K-drama dreams are made of. With this cast and storyline, Slowly and Intensely might just steal the show in 2026.

So, what do you think? Excited for this one? Or already planning your binge snacks? Let’s talk!
