A K-Drama That Feels Like a Vacation
If packing your bags sounds like too much work, Channel A’s new weekend drama might be the perfect getaway—minus the jet lag. ‘We Travel for You’ (Korean title: “여행을 대신해 드립니다”) held its official press conference on June 29 in Seoul, and the star-studded cast gave a glimpse into this heartwarming healing trip drama set to premiere August 2.
Based on a Japanese Bestseller
The series is adapted from Harada Maha’s bestselling Japanese novel of the same name. It tells the story of a former K-pop idol—always in the background and never the main star—who transitions into a substitute travel reporter. By taking on other people’s dream trips, he ends up discovering his own idea of success and meaning in life. Talk about soul-searching with a suitcase.
Dream Destinations and Eye-Candy Cinematography
Shot across stunning scenic spots in and beyond Korea, the show promises serious eye-candy visuals. Think of it as a virtual passport with bonus emotional growth. Viewers can expect a feast for the senses from the comfort of their living room—just in time for vacation season.
A Stellar Ensemble Cast
Joining lead actors Gong Seungyeon and Kim Jaeyoung are veteran performer Yoo Jun-sang, Hong Soohyun, and rising talent Oh Hyunjoong. The actors, alongside director Kang Sol, shared behind-the-scenes tidbits during the press event, teasing strong chemistry and a message of warmth and empathy.
Gong Seungyeon on Her Role
