Jung Gun-joo has been cast as a lead in the upcoming drama Ma Teresa, where he will star opposite Nana.

According to an exclusive report from SPOTV News on August 13, Jung Gun-joo will join the cast of Ma Teresa and take on the role of Yoo Aram. Nana had previously been reported as part of the project and will play the titular character, Ma Teresa.

Jung Gun-joo Joins Nana in Ma Teresa

Ma Teresa is set against the world of universities and private educational foundations, telling a story of fierce power struggles surrounding a university that once belonged to the protagonist's mother.

Nana will portray Ma Teresa, a genius criminal psychologist who will stop at nothing to reclaim the university that was taken from her mother.

Jung Gun-joo will play Yoo Aram, marking his first reported collaboration with Nana in the upcoming project.

The drama is expected to combine elements of thriller and power-struggle drama as its characters become caught up in the battle surrounding the university and its foundation.

Jung Gun-joo's Growing Drama Lineup

The casting adds another major project to Jung Gun-joo's increasingly busy schedule.

The actor impressed audiences with his performances in Way Back Love and Mercy for None last year, before making a special appearance in the third season of Netflix's XO, Kitty earlier this year.

He is also set to appear in the upcoming drama M: Reboot, with Ma Teresa becoming another project in his expanding lineup.

His addition to Ma Teresa also reunites him with another ambitious new project as he continues to take on increasingly diverse roles.

Nana Takes the Lead Role

Nana will headline the drama as Ma Teresa, a genius criminal psychologist at the center of the story.

Her character's fight to reclaim her mother's former university will place her in the middle of a complex conflict involving the university community and its private foundation.

The role is expected to give Nana an opportunity to explore a darker and more intense character as the story unfolds.

At the center of the story is Ma Teresa, a genius criminal psychologist who is determined to reclaim the university that once belonged to her mother.
