“Fox Bride Star” tells the stories of Lee Soo Yeon and Han Yeo Reum, who meet while working in passenger services, “the heart and lungs” of Incheon Airport. “Fox Bride Star” will be written by Kang Eun Kyung of “Baker King, Kim Tak Goo” and “Romantic Doctor Kim,” and directed by Shin Woo Chul of hit dramas like “Secret Garden” and “A Gentleman’s Dignity.” This drama will mark their first collaboration together in five years since “Gu Family Book.”
A top-tier university graduate and boasting perfect marks on a standardized English proficiency test, Lee Soo Yeon (Lee Je Hoon) was accepted to work at the Incheon Airport’s operational planning team. Lee Soo Yeon originally dreamt of becoming a pilot but had to give it up due to his bad eyesight. Chae Soo Bin’s character Han Yeo Reum began working at Incheon Airport to pursue her dream job. While she watches planes take off and land every day, she herself has never ridden a plane. Han Yeo Reum is assigned to be a passenger service agent, dubbed “the hardest role in the airport.”
Lee Dong Gun will be playing charismatic and friendly Seo In Woo, the airport’s operations manager. He is known for his wit that can turn a serious situation around, leadership, and adaptability. Kim Ji Soo will be Yang Seo Gun, the airport’s passenger services manager. A workaholic who is nice to passengers and headstrong in the face of danger, she plays a pivotal role in Han Yeo Reum and Lee Soo Yeon’s working lives. Other actors who will be starring in this drama include SF9’s Rowoon as Go Eun Seob, a member of the airport’s mooring operations team who was hired at the same time as Han Yeo Reum, Kim Kyung Nam as security team member Oh Dae Gi, and Lee Soo Kyung as judo champion-turned security team member Na Young Joo.
It is set to premiere on SBS in October following the end of “Thirty But Seventeen.”

I've been waiting months for the casting to be finalized and I'm really looking forward to the leads together, I'm a fan of both of them. It is a little worrying that this drama has gone through so many changes and so many actors rejecting the lead roles, but hopefully it will be great.
