Yoon Gyoon Sang Will Play Lee Jin Wook's Romantic Rival

Whether he plays a time-traveling anchor in "Nine: Nine Time Travels" or the live-in ex in "Romance 2012," few actors can compete with the skills and charm of Lee Jin Wook. But in his next drama "The Time I Loved You, 7,000 Days," he will have some serious competition for the attentions of his co-star Ha Ji Won.

Yoon Gyoon Sang, last seen playing Lee Jong Suk's troubled older brother in "Pinocchio," will play his romantic rival.

In "The Time I Loved You," Yoon plays the world-famous pianist Cha Seo Hoo. He's attractive, talented and romantic. And he also comes from a wealthy family. Sounds like perfect marriage material for Ha Ji Won's character Oh Ha Na, who at 34 suddenly feels a pressing need to find Mr. Right.

The real problem, however, is that she has known Mr. Right for 17 long years. She just won't see that her best friend Choi Won, played by Lee Jin Wook, is the only man for her. Neither of them wants to admit that potential in each other and they are used to discussing their long history of failed relationships with each other.

Yoon Gyoon Sang's character may change all that. Although women often fall in love with him, Cha Heo Soo has never been a man to settle down. But that may change when he meets the confident career woman Oh Ha Na. Will Cha Heo Soo convince Ha Ji Won that he is the man for her? Or will his pursuit of her lead Choi Won to realize that "Miss Right" has been by his side all along.

Either way Cha Heo Soo will prove a worthy rival.

"The Time I Loved You" is only one of two dramas that Yoon Gyoon Sang is doing this year. He was also cast in "Six Flying Dragons" with Yoo Ah In, Shin Se Kyung, Kim Myung Min and Byun Yo Han. Not bad for a relative newcomer.

Yoon has only been acting for three years and during that time he was cast in five dramas and two films. Yoon's debut drama was "Faith: The Great Doctor," in which he played one of Lee Min Ho's warriors. The 28-year-old actor also appeared in "Gap Dong," which was directed by Jo Soo Won, the director now working on "The Time I Loved You."

Based on the 2011 Taiwanese drama "In Time With You," "The Time I Loved You" will  air on June 27, following "Divorce Lawyers In Love."
