Now, We Are Breaking UpStoryline

The forthcoming new K-drama series centers on the story of a design team leader named Ha Young Eun (Song Hye Kyo), who is a cold-hearted realist and a woman who prioritizes stability over anything else. Not only that because she is also self-disciplined, beautiful, smart and is very sensitive to trends.

Moreover, Ha Young Eun is the daughter of Kang Jung Ja and Ha Taek So. She is also a close pal of Jeon Mi Sook and Hwang Chi Sook.

Song Hye Kyo's character would, then, meet a popular freelance fashion photographer named Yoo Jae Kook (Jang Ki Young), who is intelligent, handsome and rich.

It remains to be seen, however, how this dreamlike story of love and breakup will unfold in Now, We Are Breaking Up.
