K-drama stars Ji Chang-wook and Shin Hye-sun are teaming up for a new romance series that will be set in scenic Jeju Island, according to a report.

South Korean network JTBC confirmed Monday that the two actors will play the leads in the drama with a title translated as "Welcome to Samdalri," Korean entertainment news website Soompi reported.

In the series, Ji will reportedly play a weather forecaster from Jeju Island while Shin takes on the role of a successful figure from the fashion photography industry.

According to the report, the drama will be directed by Cha Young-hoon, known for previously directing the series "When the Camellia Blooms," and is slated to premiere at the second half of 2023.

Reports about the two actors working together in a drama began surfacing in February.

Shin made her acting debut through the 2012 youth-oriented series "School 2013" and has since taken on lead roles in other dramas, including "Still 17," "Angel's Last Mission: Love" and "Mr. Queen."

She currently stars in "See You in My 19th Life," which premiered on Netflix last Saturday.
