Go Yoon-jung

Go Yoon-jung (Moving) is the woman of the hour this week, signing on for the lead role in tvN’s new medical drama The Not Yet Wise Resident Life (roughly translated), a spin-off show from the Hospital Playlist series. Slated to broadcast early next year, the original dream team PD Shin Won-ho and writer Lee Woo-jung will be taking on creative roles, passing the production reins to PD Lee Min-soo (Heartbeat) and writer Kim Song-hee, who worked under Lee Woo-jung in previous projects.

In the meantime, Go Yoon-jung is also fielding an offer to reunite with the Hong Sisters (Alchemy of Souls) in their latest project Can This Love Be Translated, potentially joining Kim Sun-ho (Hometown Cha-Cha-Cha) who is on the casting table as well. The rom-com is still in the planning stages with PD Yoo Young-eun (Red Heart) attached to direct. [Osen]

A shadowy new poster and video teaser have dropped for ENA’s upcoming Evilive, where we’re pushed across the boundary into Kim Young-kwang’s (Call It Love) ~evil~ world along with Shin Ha-kyun (Yonder) and Shin Jae-ha (Taxi Driver 2). Premiering next month on October 14, the noir will be airing in a new Saturday-Sunday slot. [Sports Donga]
In stark contrast, JTBC hits us with a splash of fun colors in their new character posters for Strong Woman Kang Nam-soon. Starring Lee Yumi (Mental Coach Jegal), Kim Jung-eun (My Dangerous Wife), and Kim Hae-sook (Revenant) as well as Ong Sung-woo (Would You Like a Cup of Coffee) and Byun Woo-seok (Moonshine), the fantasy will be coming to our screens on October 7.

Speaking of the almighty Kim Hae-sook, reports confirmed that we’ll be seeing her soon in another fantasy: the drama remake of the 2014 film Miss Granny. Taking on the lead role shared by Shim Eun-kyung (Money Game) and Na Moon-hee (Navillera) in the original, Kim’s younger counterpart is Jung Ji-so (The Glory). With Jinyoung (Police University) reprising his role as the grandson, the series is currently in the midst of filming. [My Daily]
Over on MBN, the promos continue for A Perfect Marriage with a new bundle of stills from the first script reading. Launching on October 28 in the weekend slot, the melodrama stars Jung Yoo-min (Celebrity), Sung Hoon (Woori the Virgin), Kang Shin-hyo (Arthdal Chronicles: The Sword of Aramun), and Jin Ji-hee (Penthouse 3) among others.
