☕️ JUNG SO MIN Officially Joins RomCom with JUNG HAE IN

KDrama Casting & Trailer RoundUP | January 5, 2024

☕️ Happy Friday!

It’s time for a KDrama Coffee Break ☕️

How’s everyone’s first taste of 2024?
Mine has been a tad bit chaotic - I’ve been moving all week! Ready to be officially settled.

A bazillion Trailers dropped since Monday (okay only 10 but it feels like a bazillion) and I have to say I am excited for what 2024 is showing us right now.

Y’all know I’m soft for AHN BO HYUN so it is no surprise “FlexXCop” is top of my list. Bring on the entitled chaebol cop who gets beaten down by the feisty lady detective…truly my favorite genre 😆 

And I am so ready for more of the chaos from the “Escape of the Seven” crew in “The Resurrection of the Seven”!

But the trailer that really grabbed me was “LTNS” (Long Time No Sex) with ESOM & AHN JAE HONG! These 2 powerhouses paired up in what seems to be a very adult-themed & funny KDrama? Please. Is it January 19th yet?!

What about you? What are the trailers that grabbed you?

CONFIRMED
Jung So Min RomCom-ing With Jung Hae In!

It’s official! JUNG SO MIN will be joining JUNG HAE IN in the RomCom “Mom’s Friend’s Son” from the “Hometown Cha Cha Cha” writer / director team.

 LEE SANG YI has confirmed he will be reuniting with SHIN MIN AH in “Because I Want No Loss”. Still the 2nd Lead, they previously teased us on “Hometown Cha Cha Cha”. KIM YOUNG DAE will be the first ML…so it’ll be interesting that’s for sure.

 KIM MYUNG SOO & LEE YOO YOUNG are confirmed (and already at their table read apparently!) to lead KBS drama “Treat Me Carelessly”. Don’t know many details on this one but it seems to be based on a webtoon by the same name. Should air first half 2024.

RUMORED
Jin Goo & Shin Ha Kyun Fighting Office Crime?

🗣️ First Kdrama crush, JIN GOO is rumored to be Company VP to SHIN HA KYUN’s cold-hearted office auditor in new tvN office drama “Thank You” (Not to be confused with Shin Ha Kyung’s partner in “Beyond Evil”, YEO JIN GOO) 

There was a hot minute when random Twitter accounts were saying KWAK DONG YEON was joining but that disappeared fast. Which sucks because he’s a fun actor to watch!

VIDEO VILLAGE
SO. MANY. TRAILERS.

They gave us Special Teasers for dramas coming later in the year, plus our usual 1st, 2nd & 3rd teasers and of course the Main Trailers for those coming in the next week or so.
