Accompanying the happy news of Kang Tae-oh (Extraordinary Attorney Woo)’s army discharge today, reports have him starring in tvN’s new wacky rom-com Potato Research Center (translated title). As a newly appointed manager, he’ll meet the potato-obsessed researcher Lee Sun-bin (Boyhood), who is working on a secret potato project. Production is being led by PD Kang Il-soo and writer Kim Ho-soo, who collaborated previously on Rookie Historian Gu Hae-ryun. [Star News]
Speaking of tvN, Noh Sang-hyun (Soundtrack #2) is considering an offer to become estranged brothers with Kim Woo-bin (Our Blues) in All Shall Come True. With Suzy (Doona) playing the female lead, there’s a chance Noh might be in a second pairing with Ahn Eun-jin (My Dearest) (hurrah!), as writer Kim Eun-sook (The Glory) often does in her stories. Aiming to release later this year, the fantasy rom-com has PD Lee Byung-heon (Chicken Nugget) at the helm. [News1]
In the meantime, the funeral march continues on SBS’s promos for 7 Escape – Resurrection, where Eom Ki-joon (Little Women) stands off against our doomed (?) ensemble cast in the newest poster for the makjang’s second season. Co-starring Hwang Jung-eum (Men Are Men), Lee Joon (Red Heart), and Lee Yubi (Yumi’s Cells 2) et al., the new season’s chaos begins on March 29 next week. [SBS]
Coupang Play’s Hide released footage from the drama’s first script reading, led by Lee Bo-young (Agency), Lee Moo-saeng (Maestra – Strings of Truth), Lee Chung-ah (My Dearest), and Lee Min-jae (Oh! Young-shim). Come March 23, our heroine embarks on a journey to unravel the truth behind her husband’s disappearance in the mystery-suspense. [Sports Seoul]
KBS’s Beauty and Mr. Romantic is also coming this weekend and the latest batch of stills feature the family drama’s main pair, played by Im Soo-hyang (Kokdu: Season of Deity) and Ji Hyun-woo (Young Lady and Gentleman). In a story about growth and love, the weekender will hopefully be delivering the cozy feels when it begins on March 23. [Sports Donga (1), (2)]
I don’t know how the promos for tvN’s timeslip romance Lovely Runner can still be so cute, but what else can be said when a pocket-sized Kim Hye-yoon (Snowdrop) tries to hug a towering Byun Woo-seok (Strong Girl Nam-soon) in the newest stills. Although it’s sadly still weeks away, our fangirl heroine’s mission to save her idol will be taking off in the Monday-Tuesday slot on April 8. [Newsen]
