Dali and Cocky Prince s1
Director: Lee Jung-seob
Cast: Kim Min-jae, Park Gyu-young, Kwon Yul, Hwang Hee, Yeonwoo
Dali & Cocky Prince (2021) unfurls a delightful romantic comedy that sparkles with artistic flair and heart. Kim Dali (Park Gyu-young), an erudite art researcher fluent in seven languages, returns home to helm her family’s crumbling museum after her father’s passing. Across the gallery space strides Jin Moo-hak (Kim Min-jae), a self-made restaurateur whose family empire—built from a simple gamja-tang (pork bone soup) shop—now holds the museum’s debt. Their worlds collide in a case of misaligned identity, but as Moo-hak’s motives shift from creditor to unlikely benefactor, an energetic dance of wit, attraction, and shared purpose begins.
Under Lee Jung-seob’s direction, the series balances #RomanticComedy with #SliceOfLife and #ArtCentered themes, crafting a marriage of culture and charisma. While Dali offers intellectual charm and idealism, Moo-hak brings unapologetic humor and worldly pragmatism. Together, they create an irresistible classic-meets-contemporary pairing that drives both laughter and empathy. Supporting characters—including Dali’s first love, Jang Tae-jin (Kwon Yul), and a gallery of colorful allies—add emotional texture without stealing the spotlight Wikipedia
