Ahn Hyo-seop, long dubbed “SBS’s favorite son,” makes a flashy return to romantic comedy.
SBS’s new Wed-Thu drama ‘Sold Out on You’ (written by Jin Seung-hee, directed by Ahn Jong-yeon) premieres at 9 p.m. on the 22nd and teases a warm, healing romance led by Ahn Hyo-seop, Chae Won-bin, Kim Bum, and Ko Du-shim ― a lineup that bridges generations.
‘Sold Out on You’ follows perfectionist young farmer Matthew Lee (Ahn Hyo-seop) and sellout-driven home shopping host Dam Ye-jin (Chae Won-bin) as their lives tangle into a fluttery romance. With the debut just a day away, here are four key points to watch.
#1. The Return Of The ‘Rom-Com King’ And ‘SBS’s Favorite Son,’ Ahn Hyo-seop
After delivering multiple SBS hits ― including 'Dr. Romantic,' 'Business Proposal,' and 'Lovers of the Red Sky' ― Ahn Hyo-seop is teaming up with the network again for ‘Sold Out on You.’ Fresh off winning hearts worldwide with 'KPop Demon Hunters' and earning the “rom-com king” title with Business Proposal, he now transforms into Matthew Lee, a prickly but deeply thoughtful young farmer ― ready to steal viewers’ hearts all over again.
#2. A Cross-Generational Cast You Can Trust
Chae Won-bin takes on her first romantic comedy here, set to showcase her lovable charm alongside Ahn Hyo-seop. Scene-stealers Kim Bum (as Seo Eric) and beloved veteran Ko Du-shim (as Song Hak-daek) join in to add depth. Plus, the residents of Deokpung Village ― the show’s main backdrop ― and the team at Hit Home Shopping promise to round out the world with vibrant performances. The chemistry across this stacked cast is one of the drama’s biggest draws.
#3. Bickering-To-Butterflies: A Textbook K-Rom-Com
Matthew Lee cultivates the world’s only White-Flower Nuri mushroom. Home shopping host Dam Ye-jin heads to the countryside to secure it. Their first meeting goes sideways, and they clash at every turn ― until they start uncovering each other’s hidden wounds, offering comfort, and falling in love. Their squabble-then-soften journey promises both heart-flutters and gentle healing.
#4. Healing And Laughs, All In One
Set against the lush greenery of Deokpung Village, the story offers feel-good healing for viewers weary of city life. Expect lively tales from its colorful locals and sitcom-style humor from director Ahn Jong-yeon ― noted for his distinctive touch in ‘Seoul Busters’ ― for a viewing experience packed with charm.
