According to the agency, “Romantic Anonymous” is currently in production, and Han Hyo-joo is reported to be filming in Japan.
“Romantic Anonymous” is based on the 2010 French film “Romantics Anonymous” directed by Jean-Pierre Améris. This film, known domestically as “Chocolate Romance”, depicts the love story between a chocolate manufacturer owner and a chocolatier.

He has also received positive responses for his roles in adaptations of manga to live-action works such as “Detective Conan” and “Gintama”.
