New JTBC Romance Series ‘The Art of Dating’ Set to Premiere in 2026

Get ready for an emotional rollercoaster as JTBC announces its upcoming 2026 drama, ‘The Art of Dating’, a romantic comedy series based on the popular Naver Webtoon of the same name by writer 타리.

Starring the acclaimed romance actress Han Ji Min, the series follows the story of Lee Eui Young, an accomplished mid-level employee at The Hills Hotel who excels professionally but struggles when it comes to romance. As her 30s approach without a significant relationship, Eui Young boldly embraces planned dating and begins her journey through modern-day matchmaking.

One of her blind date candidates is Song Tae Seop, portrayed by Park Sung Hoon. He is the warmhearted owner of a woodworking studio whose dream is to build a loving family. Despite his rock-solid character, he finds his emotions spinning out of control after his unexpected encounter with Eui Young.

On the other hand, Lee Ki Taek takes on the role of Shin Ji Soo, a free-spirited younger man who ends up on a date with Eui Young by chance and is instantly smitten. Ironically, his carefree life starts to shift as he grapples with his unexpected feelings for her.

The drama also highlights strong female friendships, particularly through Jung Hye Sung as Jung Hyun Min, a dopamine-chasing colleague who believes in light, no-strings-attached relationships. Adding charm to the mix is Kim So Hye, who plays Shim Sae Byeok, the lovable rookie team member navigating her career and chaotic adult life with Eui Young as her role model.

With a unique blend of humor, heart, and relatable characters, ‘The Art of Dating’ promises to deliver a fresh perspective on modern relationships. As characters with diverse views on love intermingle, the show offers a deep look into romantic values of today’s singles.

The series is expected to premiere in 2026 on JTBC and is shaping up to be a must-watch for fans of witty, heartfelt drama.
