Can the Korea Meteorological Administration predict the unpredictable nature of office romance?
In short: Forecasting Love and Weather explores the intersection of professional meteorology and personal relationships. Set within the Korea Meteorological Administration, the drama follows staff members as they navigate the volatile climate of office romance. It highlights how the same people tasked with predicting the weather struggle to manage their own emotional lives.
The series, which premiered on JTBC on February 12, 2022, centers on the professional and private lives of employees at the Korea Meteorological Administration. Directed by Cha Young-hoon and created by Gline’s creative group, the show depicts a narrative where the characters break, fall, and rise again while working in a high-pressure national weather service. The central romance involves Jin Ha-kyung, a 35-year-old general forecaster, and Lee Si-woo, a 27-year-old colleague in the Special Reporting Division.
The drama’s structure mirrors the complexity of its setting, weaving together the lives of various staff members, including the 36-year-old spokesperson’s office informant Han Ki-joon and 25-year-old reporter Chae Yoo-jin. The production process was extensive, with casting announcements beginning in March 2021 and filming updates shared by lead actress Park Min-young in October 2021. The production faced minor real-world challenges, such as when actor Yoon Park tested positive for COVID-19 in March 2022, though the broadcast schedule remained unaffected.
Beyond the central plot, the series is notable for the recurring collaboration between actresses Kim Mi-kyung and Park Min-young, who portray mother and daughter for the fourth time. The show’s popularity was reflected in its performance on Netflix, where it maintained a position in the Global Top 10 weekly list for international TV shows for six consecutive weeks, from February 21 to April 3, 2022. By blending the technical, often unpredictable nature of meteorological forecasting with the equally chaotic dynamics of workplace relationships, the show offers a unique perspective on human connection.
