Ahead of its release, the Korean drama produced by ENA entitled Brewing Love has leaked the character that will be played by Lee Jong Won. Carrying the romantic comedy genre, the Korean drama Brewing Love follows the heart-rending love story between Chae Yong Joo and Yoon Min Joo who have opposite characters.
Chae Yong Joo is a very passionate sales king at a liquor company who hides his emotions, while Yoon Min Joo is a very sensitive brewery owner who is good at reading other people's feelings. In this drama, Lee Jong Won plays Yoon Min Joo, a brewery owner and brewer who disrupts the liquor industry.
Like the smooth beer, Yoon Min Joo is an empath with a keen ability to sense other people's emotions. In order to prevent excessive emotions, he has learned to close himself off from them. While living a quiet life in a quiet rural town and focusing on his own brewing and emotions, he finds himself increasingly drawn to Chae Yong Joo, who catches his eye.
The newly released photos via ENA's Instagram @channel.ena.d show the daily life of Yoon Min Joo, an empathetic and sensitive person. She enjoys warm and peaceful moments, and an interesting expression appears on her face as she closes her eyes to focus on her feelings.

However, in other photos, Yoon Min Joo shows signs of discomfort, raising curiosity. Her cautious gaze reveals her sensitivity and tendency to close herself off from others.
This raises questions about the changes that might occur to Yoon Min Joo, who has been living a stable life in her own space. Lee Jong Won shared his reasons for choosing the project, stating, “His confidence and willingness to sacrifice for others are in stark contrast to Min Joo’s sensitivity and focus on living for herself.
I found their journey of finding common ground very interesting. The script is captivating, highlighting similarities that are clearly different and creating interesting points of contact,” as quoted from Soompi on October 15, 2024.
He also noted, “The most interesting aspect is how Yong Joo and Min Joo embrace each other and learn from their differences as the changes occur. The warm story that everyone—the townspeople and the brewery staff—create together is also very interesting.”

In addition, the character’s subtle awkwardness and awkward moments will add an interesting touch.” Lee Jong Won shared insight into his approach to acting, sharing, “When acting, I focus on really empathizing and connecting by looking into my co-stars’ eyes.
