Forecasting Love and Weather gears up to present a more realistic drama to K-pop fans.
South Korea's top stars Park Min Young and Song Kang lead the series as they play the roles of general forecaster Jin Ha Kyung and special reporter Lee Si Woo, respectively. They bump into each other as they work together at Korea's national weather forecast service, Korea Meteorological Administration.
Ahead of its release, JTBC dropped new photos on the series' set, showing Park Min Young and Song Kang's characters while working inside their office.
But aside from the realistic images shown on the stills, the network reportedly made the series more accurate by working with experts and weather-related agencies.

He also revealed they went through the documents published 20 to 30 years ago to accurately include critical details on the series.
