Actor Lee Jong Won may soon appear in the upcoming office romance drama Disciplined Romance, drawing attention from K-drama fans worldwide. According to an April 2 report by Xportsnews, the actor has been offered a role in the project. In response, his agency confirmed that he is currently reviewing the offer, meaning the casting has not yet been finalized but remains under discussion.

The drama explores how their relationship dynamics shift when their roles reverse, creating both tension and emotional depth within a professional environment.

If finalized, the combination of these actors could create strong anticipation among fans of modern Korean romance dramas.
Lee Jong Won has reportedly been offered the role of Joo Han-Min, the company’s Head of Strategy working under Na Jung-Seok. The character is particularly interesting because he is portrayed as a US citizen and the only employee who has not completed military service, which adds a unique storyline layer. Reports also suggest viewers may see a lively “Tom-and-Jerry-style chemistry” between his character and Park Hyung-Sik’s role if both actors confirm their appearances.
