Play Me

The top star Jung Yihyun, who started as a child actor, decides to quit the entertainment industry due to his mother's sudden death. Kang Jaewon, a part-time worker who lives from hand to mouth, has to temporarily give up his actor dream due to real-life pressures. The two, who had a falling-out in high school due to a misunderstanding, reunite years later because of a musical. Through portraying the characters, they rediscover love.

Directed by 윤유, Play Me leans on a strong ensemble — Yang Hong-seok, Park Seong-hyeon, Shin Yong-seok — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The series landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 2026.
