The busy Han Ji-min (Behind Your Touch) is reviewing offers for her next project, putting her psychic-veterinarian days “behind” her and potentially sitting at the big desk as a dashing CEO in Acquaintances (working title). Also in discussions – and also dashing – is Lee Jun-hyuk (Dark Hole), who is up to play said CEO’s secretary. As per the rules of dramaland, romance is of course on the horizon. Yes please, sign me up. [My Daily]
New character posters have dropped for ENA’s upcoming Day of Kidnapping, showcasing the black comedy’s motley foursome, with dad-but-not-dad Yoon Kye-sang (Kiss Sixth Sense), sassy Yoo-na (Green Mothers’ Club), determined cop Park Sung-hoon (Not Others), and inscrutable Kim Shin-rok (Shadow Detective 2). Coming to our screens on September 13, production is being led by PD Park Yoo-young (A Model Family) and writer Kim Je-young (Cheese in the Trap, the film). [News1]
A new rom-com called Treat Me Carelessly (roughly translated) is in the works, with Lee Yoo-young (Insider) reportedly cast as the lead and L (a.k.a. Kim Myung-soo) (Numbers) still in talks. Taking a page from ye olde classics, the webtoon adaptation has the former playing a self-made modern woman and aspiring designer, while the latter’s character is a traditional stiff upper lip, hailing from the Confucian-trained hills.

Also coming in September is Netflix’s wistful romance A Time Called You, and in the newest batch of stills, we get another look at our love smitten leads: Jeon Yeo-bin (Glitch), Ahn Hyo-seop (Romantic Doctor Teacher Kim 3), and Kang Hoon (The Secret Romantic Guesthouse).
