[Edaily Reporter Gim Ga Yeong ] Actors Hye-ri and Na In-woo will play a couple in a sham marriage in ENA’s new Monday-Tuesday drama *She Is Handle with Care* (working title).

On the 12th, ENA announced that Hyeri and Na In-woo will star in “Handle with Care.” “Handle with Care” is an action romance drama about a fake married couple: Ja-young (played by Lee Hyeri), a spy wife undercover as an ordinary housewife, and her husband Geon-woo (played by Na In-woo), a former National Intelligence Service agent who volunteers to take her under his temporary protection.
Director Yoo Seon-dong, known for dramas such as “The Marvelous Rumor” and “Trigger,” is teaming up with writer Kim Ryu-hyun. Notably, Director Yoo Seon-dong will be collaborating with Hye-ri once again, following their work together on “Dream for You.”
Lee Hye-ri takes on the role of “Ja-young,” a stunning ace spy, and takes on the challenge of action scenes. Ja-young, whose codename is “Jena Nine,” is a spy whose specialty is disguise; she assumes hundreds of identities and effortlessly completes near-impossible missions across the globe. One day, just as she is on the verge of joining the “Fire Tribe” she has long dreamed of, Ja-young falls into a trap and is falsely accused. Forced to go into hiding to evade pursuit, she takes on the most challenging disguise of her spy career—that of a “novice housewife”—and begins living with a veterinarian named “Geon-woo,” promising plenty of laughs.
Hye-ri shared her thoughts, saying, “From the moment I first read the script, I found the ever-changing nature of the character Ja-young to be captivating. Even though she’s a single character, I’m excited to be able to show such a wide range of facets, as if I were playing multiple roles.” She added, “I’m working hard to transform into the perfect elite spy, so please look forward to it.”
Na In-woo takes on the role of “Geon-woo,” the neighborhood’s renowned handsome veterinarian. With his unassuming personality, warm heart for animals, and flawless looks, “Geon-woo” is a man without a single flaw—yet he harbors a surprising past as a National Intelligence Service agent. After accidentally rescuing Ja-young from danger and volunteering to take her into “temporary custody,” Geon-woo undergoes a transformation as he begins an unexpected life as a “fake married couple.”
Na In-woo said, “I found the hidden story of Geon-woo—a skilled veterinarian known in the neighborhood for his kind-hearted nature—and the character’s unexpected twists to be fascinating,” adding, “I will do my best to act diligently so as not to let down my senior actors and fellow cast members. This is a production full of diverse entertainment and charm, so I hope you’ll look forward to it.”
“Handle Her with Care” is a remake of the Japanese NTV drama “Handle the Wife with Care.” “Handle the Wife with Care” is a comedy-action-packed drama about a woman who, after putting her troubled past behind her and marrying her husband in search of happiness, learns of the crises faced by the housewives around her and steps in to help resolve them. It gained popularity in Japan thanks to the performances of popular Japanese actors Haruka Ayase and Hidetoshi Nishijima. As this series was a hit in Japan, one of the key points of interest is how Hyeri and Na In-woo will reinterpret the story to deliver an entertaining experience.
“Handle with Care” is scheduled to air on ENA in the first half of 2027.
