In addition, INFINITE's L and Hoya, WINNER's Kim Jin Woo, and BESTie's Hae Ryung are also part of the cast, making the drama more palatable towards viewers who enjoy K-pop.

"My Lovely Girl" is grabbing the attention of K-pop lovers across China, especially since the Korean entertainment industry is being put into perspective.

According to director Park Hyung Gi, the cast was chosen specifically because of their experience in the entertainment industry so that they would be able to portray their characters accurately.

He also expressed, "We're working hard to make 'My Lovely Girl' a worthwhile hour to watch. We're glad that these talented actors and actresses are here to give life to the drama."

"My Lovely Girl" is about the romance and healing of an entertainment company CEO and an aspiring singer.
