Actress and Girl's Day member Hyeri is said to be under consideration for the leading role in the forthcoming K-drama Dreaming of You, after the surprising exit of actress Lee Yoo Mi.

As reported by India Times, Lee Yoo Mi — recognized for her roles in Squid Game, All of Us Are Dead, and Strong Girl Nam-soon — has withdrawn from the project for reasons that remain undisclosed.

Production sources indicate that a new lead is currently being pursued, with Hyeri standing out as a strong contender.

The Korean media source Sports World states that Hyeri is favorably considering the script. If she agrees, she will co-star with Hwang In Yeop, who gained popularity in True Beauty and is set for the leading male role.

Dreaming of You is a love story that depicts the intertwined journeys of two individuals through three phases of life — their adolescence, twenties, and thirties.

Lee Jae, the protagonist, is a journalist who starts off as an eager and enthusiastic teenager but feels unfulfilled by the age of 30.

Su Bin, a filmmaker and the protagonist, grapples with pressures during his younger years but eventually chases his genuine aspirations.

The screenplay is written by renowned writer Im Me Ri, recognized for her contributions to Doom at Your Service, The Beauty Inside, and Human X Gumiho.

Her participation has heightened fan excitement, particularly among audiences who appreciate deeply emotional romance stories.

Hyeri recently received praise for her performance in Friendly Rivalry, and fans have shown enthusiasm about the potential of her collaborating with Hwang In Yeop.

'Dreaming of You' is presently in pre-production. A release date has not been revealed yet.
