Actor Jung Woo-sung will star in a new romantic TV series slated for next month, Genie TV said Tuesday.

The A-lister will star as painter Cha Jin-woo, who suffers from a hearing impairment and goes through a dramatic change in his otherwise lonely life after meeting aspiring actor Jung Mo-eun, played by Shin Hyun-been from Hospital Playlist​.

Adapted from a Japanese TV series, the new Korean drama, Tell Me That You Love ME, is written by Kim Min-jung of Love in the Moonlight and directed by Kim Yoon-jin of Our Beloved Summer.

It will air next month on Genie TV, an IPTV service provided by KT, the country's main telecom operator, and ENA, a pay television network operated by SkyTV.
