Kim Mu Yeol, Jin Ki Joo & team come to save the crumbling education system in 'Teach You a Lesson'
Actress Im Ji Yeon, currently starring in My Royal Nemesis, has received an offer for her next project.
On May 14, a representative from her agency Artist Company told Ilgan Sports, "Im Ji Yeon has received an offer to appear in the drama Alike and is currently reviewing it."
Alike is a modern reimagining of the classic "The Prince and the Pauper". It tells the story of a job seeker from a humble background who, after landing a job at a company, is fired and even ends up going to prison in place of the owner's heir because she resembles her. After enduring these injustices, she joins forces with other "underdogs" to overthrow the "king".
The series is written by Kim In Young and will be directed by Noh Young Seob.
Im Ji Yeon has been offered the role of Lee Eun Seok. It is known to be a dual-role performance.
Lee Eun Seok is a woman who carries a bright, charming, and witty personality. She is an ordinary individual who loves her family, keeps her promises, and believes that anything one wants must be earned through hard work and effort. However, once someone casually undermines the value of her hard work, a fierce and ruthless side within her begins to emerge.
The actress is currently starring in the SBS Friday–Saturday drama My Royal Nemesis as Shin Seo Ri, an unknown actress possessed by a "notorious villainess" from the Joseon era. The drama recorded a 5.4% nationwide rating (Nielsen Korea) for episode 2 and ranked No. 1 on Netflix Global Top 10 Non-English Shows, garnering 3.9 million views from May 8-10.
Alike is currently in the casting stage. More updates yet to come. Stay tuned!
