News bites: October 22, 2022

New character posters have dropped for KBS’s Curtain Call, featuring our two leads: Kang Haneul (Insider) and Ha Ji-won (Chocolate). With the premiere coming up on October 31, the production also announced the special guest appearances that we can look forward to, including a doctor Ahn Nae-sang (Red Heart) and Lee Yi-kyung (Critical X) as Kang’s bestie. We’ll also see flight attendant Jung Yoo-jin (Remarriage & Desires) as well as Kim Young-min (Military Prosecutor Doberman) as Granny Go Du-shim’s (Our Blues) long-lost son.

A cute first poster has come out for MBC’s Please Send a Fan Letter, showcasing our OTP Sooyoung (If You Wish Upon Me) and Yoon Park (Forecasting Love and Weather) along with child actor Shin Yeon-woo. Premiering next month on November 26, the mini rom-com’s 4 episodes will be airing once a week on Saturdays. [MBC]

Over on JTBC, Oh Dong-min (The Law Cafe) has been added to the cast of Understanding of Love, playing a co-worker of Yoo Yeon-seok (Narco-Saints). Also starring Moon Ga-young (Link: Eat, Love, Kill), the romance is slated to air towards the end of 2022 with PD Jo Young-min (Do You Like Brahms) at the helm and scripts by Lee Seo-hyun and Lee Hyun-jung.

In the meantime, the promos continue for JTBC’s Reborn Rich and the Lee Sung-min (Juvenile Justice) cut (dare I say, the best one?) of the first teaser has now been released and I expect the Shin Hyun-bin (Monstrous) version will be made available soon as well. With Song Joong-ki (Vincenzo) rounding out the main trio, the fantasy-melodrama will be launching next month on November 18. [YTN]
