The Story: A Career Woman Finally Takes a Chance on Love
The Practical Guide to Love tells the story of Lee Ui Yeong (Han Ji Min), a woman who dives into the world of blind dates after deciding to pursue love. When she meets two men with strikingly different charms, she finds herself torn between them — prompting a journey towards discovering what true love really means.
Although Lee Ui Yeong is highly capable when it comes to work, she is a complete novice when it comes to romance. After putting off dating for years due to focusing on her career, she finally accepts that she may need to go on blind dates in order to meet someone.
That setup alone is endlessly charming — a woman who has mastered everything in life except love, stepping nervously into a world she knows nothing about. Many of us know that feeling all too well.
First Stills: Tension, Smiles, and an Awkward Silence
Newly released stills capture Lee Ui Yeong on her very first blind date. She wears a shy smile as she sits next to Song Tae Seop, who seems unable to take his eyes off her. Instead of stifling awkwardness, there is a subtle romantic tension in the air that builds anticipation for a potential next date.
But the mood doesn’t hold. This promising atmosphere is suddenly shattered when an unexpected remark by Song Tae Seop makes a hesitant Lee Ui Yeong freeze in place, leaving an uncomfortable silence hanging over them.
What did he say? That’s the question that will send viewers straight to episode one — and it’s a perfectly crafted cliffhanger for a pre-release preview.
