Actors Lee Seo Jin and Ha Ji Won are bringing back memories of their popular 2003 Korean drama Damo as they reunite on television for the first time in 23 years.
During the October 23 episode of SBS's variety show Whatever You Wish, Secretary Jin, also known as Secretary Jin, a preview revealed the long-awaited reunion between the two former co-stars.
Lee Seo Jin and Ha Ji Won previously starred together in the 2003 historical drama Damo, which became widely popular for its emotional storyline and memorable performances.
The drama is particularly remembered for Lee Seo Jin's famous line, "Does it hurt? It hurts me too."
More than two decades later, the actors are finally appearing together on television again, bringing excitement to those who remember their chemistry in the series.
In the newly released preview, Ha Ji Won expressed her happiness about working with Lee Seo Jin again.
She shared, "It really feels like a dream to be filming and doing something together with you again."
Lee Seo Jin also acknowledged how meaningful the reunion was.
He said, "This is our first time appearing on a show together. It's the first time we've been in the same camera frame since then."
The preview showed the two sharing a warm hug at the airport before leaving for a trip to Singapore with Kim Kwang Kyu.
Watching their reunion, Kim Kwang Kyu jokingly commented, "Looks like you're filming Damo again."
Despite the emotional reunion, Lee Seo Jin and Ha Ji Won quickly returned to their familiar playful interactions.
Lee Seo Jin teased his former co-star about her appearance, saying, "Ji Won looks much prettier these days, doesn't she? She wasn't this pretty back then."
When Ha Ji Won appeared wearing a stylish new outfit, he jokingly asked, "Who are you?"
His playful comments continued throughout the trip, but the preview also showed his thoughtful side.
Lee Seo Jin bought Ha Ji Won a pair of sunglasses and made an effort to help her meet her favorite Formula 1 driver.
The gesture appeared to leave a strong impression on Ha Ji Won, who shared her appreciation for the experience.
She said, "I don't think I'll ever forget any of this."
The reunion has drawn attention not only because of the actors' long history but also because of how naturally they interacted after more than two decades.
While the preview highlighted their emotional reunion and playful chemistry, more moments from their Singapore trip will be revealed in the upcoming episode of Secretary Jin.
For longtime fans of Damo, seeing Lee Seo Jin and Ha Ji Won together again after 23 years offers a nostalgic reminder of one of Korean television's memorable on-screen pairings.
