Actress Hani, formerly of the K-pop group EXID, is set to return to television in the upcoming KBS weekend drama 'Love is Coming,' starring alongside actor Ha Seok-jin. The drama is scheduled to premiere in July.

'Love is Coming' centers on a family's journey to mend relationships and forge new lives after experiencing emotional fractures. Hani will portray Han Gyu-rim, a character responsible for her family's livelihood through her work at a side dish shop. Her life takes a significant turn when she encounters Kim Mu-jin, her former love, after a long separation.

This role marks Hani's first foray into a weekend drama. She has previously showcased her acting skills in various productions, including 'Call It Love,' 'IDOL: The Coup,' and 'You Raise Me Up,' with expectations high for her performance in this new series.

Ha Seok-jin will play Kim Mu-jin, the owner and chef of an Italian restaurant. His character experiences a new chapter in life upon reuniting with Han Gyu-rim, his first love, after an eight-year hiatus. The drama is directed by Hong Seok-gu, known for 'My Only One' and 'Beauty and Mr. Romantic,' with a script by Lee Kyung-hee, who penned 'I'm Sorry, I Love You' and 'The Innocent Man.'

The production team expressed anticipation for the "poignant yet thrilling reunion romance" between Ha Seok-jin and Ahn Hee-yeon (Hani), believing their story of reconnecting after eight years will deliver both laughter and emotion to viewers.
