I am looking forward to enjoying this project with a great team and to delivering the excitement and thrills to the viewers."

Romantic Anonymous will be released exclusively worldwide on Netflix next year. The cast is currently filming.

Han Hyo Joo will portray the role of Hana Lee in the series. She is a genius chocolatier who suffers from social anxiety.

Oguri Shun will portray the role of Fujiwara Sosuke. He currently works at the popular chocolate store called “Le Sauveur.” Because of his traumatic past, Fujiwara Sosuke's germophobia is intense which hinders him from his job. 

The upcoming Netflix original drama will be the next work of director Tsukikawa Sho who also directed the film I Want to Eat Your Pancreas which became popular in Korea.
