Hyeri contracts Jun for his services in May I Help You
by tccolb
Squeezing in one more promo before the drama’s premiere tomorrow, we take another look at our helper duo in MBC’s latest teaser for May I Help You.
The fantasy-romance stars Hyeri (Moonshine) as our heroine, Baek Dong-joo. As a funeral director who can talk to the dead, she becomes a butler of sorts for the recently deceased in order to help them with their last requests. Enter an actual butler – for the living – Jun (a.k.a. Lee Jun-young) (Let Me Be Your Knight), whose character goes by the name Butler Kim and runs an errand service.
Supporting cast includes Lee Kyu-han (Sunbae, Don’t Put on That Lipstick) as Butler Kim’s Uncle Vincent, Song Deok-ho (Link: Eat, Love, Kill) playing the neighborhood police officer Seo Hae-ahn, as well as the local priest and Dong-joo’s uncle Oh Dae-hwan (Adamas).
We also have Tae In-ho (Ghost Doctor) in the role of Dong-joo’s boss, in addition to Dong-joo’s two besties: nurse Seo Hye-won (Alchemy of Souls) and table tennis instructor Ahn Hyun-ho (Monthly Magazine Home).
The video teaser opens with Dong-joo meeting Butler Kim at a crosswalk and she asks why he’s staring at her like she’s alien. We then flashback to Dong-joo’s confession: “I can see ghosts. It’s true. They wake up when I touch them.” Kim talks about it afterwards with his sleeping uncle, calling Dong-joo a strange woman and wondering where it all went wrong.
We then jump back to when Butler Kim gave Dong-joo his business card and immediately regrets it when she decides to use his errand service to make up for the money he owes her. In the appearing text screen we read: “Butler for the dead/All-round neighborhood butler.” Although Kim tries to dissuade Dong-joo, she’s not willing to budge and Kim complains afterwards about her extreme ways.
Thankfully, both have their uncles to turn to for encouragement and the next two text screens read, “Rising above life and death,” and “A romance of mutual help.” As their relationship grows, we see Dong-joo looking at Butler Kim differently and she admits that this is one of the happiest days of her life. The teaser then closes on our happy duo as they walk down the street together.
Written by Lee Sun-hye (20th Century Boy and Girl) with directing helmed by PD Shim So-yeon (Welcome 2 Life) and PD Park Sun-young, MBC’s May I Help You launches October 19 in the Wednesday-Thursday slot.
