Just two months after completing his previous drama My Youth in October, Song Joong Ki is already preparing for another comeback—an unusually fast move that has quickly drawn attention. Known for carefully selecting his projects, the actor’s near-immediate return signals both strong momentum and a clear eagerness to explore something new. Industry sources say he has received an offer for the romantic comedy “Love Cloud” and is currently reviewing the script very positively, with his participation almost confirmed.
“Love Cloud” is a romantic comedy set on the scenic island of Jeju, where changing weather and quiet landscapes add a subtle, almost mystical mood to the story. The drama follows Kang Woo Joo, a former flight attendant, and Ahn Ha Nee, a trainee pilot, who unexpectedly reunite seven years after parting ways. When their paths cross again, Woo Joo has become an air traffic controller while Ha Nee is now a full-fledged pilot. Reconnected by the skies they once shared, the two gradually rediscover old emotions, leading to a sincere and heart-warming love story.
The project is backed by a reliable production team, with Song Min Yeob—the director behind Youth of May and High Cookie—at the helm, and a scripted written by rookie collective Mad Rabbit. Casting for the female lead is currently underway, with production reportedly seeking a seasoned actress experienced in both film and television. Filming is expected to begin sometime next year.
For Song Joong Ki, the role of Kang Woo Joo marks a fresh direction. The aviation-related character places him in a new professional setting he has never portrayed before, combining discipline and emotional restraint with romantic vulnerability. Viewers are especially curious to see how he will embody a calm, serious air traffic controller within a light rom-com framework—a contrast that could highlight a softer, more mature charm.
Since his debut in A Frozen Flower (2008), Song Joong Ki has built an exceptional career through major hits such as Sungkyunkwan Scandal, Descendants of the Sun, Vincenzo, and Reborn Rich, while continuing to push boundaries with recent films like Hopeless and My Name Is Loh Kiwan. Alongside his acting career, he remains a global star, regularly holding fan meetings in Korea and Japan. He married former actress Katy Louise Saunders in 2023 and is now a father of two, though his professional choices remain firmly in the spotlight.
Altogether, Song Joong Ki’s consideration of “Love Cloud” suggests a deliberate shift toward warmth and romance following a series of intense, dramatic roles. With Jeju Island as its backdrop, a gentle reconnection narrative, and an eagerly anticipated on-screen partnership yet to be revealed, the drama is already shaping up to be one of his most refreshing transformations yet.
