Boo Seungkwan has conquered music stages, lit up variety shows, and won hearts across the globe as one of SEVENTEEN’s most expressive vocalists. And now? He’s officially stepping into the world of K-dramas — and CARATs everywhere are losing their minds over it.

Everything You Need to Know About “Wed Thurs Fri”

What Is Seungkwan’s K-Drama About?

The show is set against the backdrop of a restaurant that is open only on Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays, and showcases the romance between a chef and a woman with a deep connection to the restaurant. It’s an intimate, warm premise — the kind of story where food, feelings, and unspoken connections collide beautifully. Honestly, perfect for a debut.

The creative team behind this drama is nothing short of stellar. Director Jung Dong Yoon previously helmed acclaimed projects including It’s Okay to Not Be Okay and Gyeongseong Creature, while writer Joo Hyun is known for The World of the Married and Ms. Temper & Nam Jung Gi. With that pedigree, this is far from just a vanity project for a pop idol — it’s a serious production with serious storytelling ambitions.

The tradition of K-pop idols crossing over into acting has a rich history in Korean entertainment, and Seungkwan — known for his emotionally resonant performances on stage — seems tailor-made for the transition.

Previously, Shin Min Ah and Lee Jin Wook were reportedly said to be in talks to be cast as the two leads of the show, though neither has officially confirmed their casting. pinkvilla If confirmed, this ensemble would make Wed Thurs Fri one of the most anticipated K-dramas of the year.
