Kim Seon Ho and Kim Yoon Seok reportedly casted as the leads
Kim Seon Ho will play Cha Jae Rim, a 9th-grade civil servant. With the ability to see ghosts, Cha Jae Rim takes in the ghostly Koo Yeong Jin and emerges as a force to be reckoned with in the political arena, engaging in a political team-up with the still-living assemblyman
Kim Yoon Seok will play Koo Yeong Jin, a man who was at the top of South Korean politics until he was betrayed by his close associates, faced with a special prosecutor's investigation, and ultimately took his own life
Shin Hye Sun and Na In Woo reportedly casted to lead this Netflix drama
Shin Hye Sun plays Cha Ju An, a legendary 8-year PD at a broadcasting station's entertainment department who says that only when you do your best to complete the tasks life throws at you without regrets and 'make it happen', you have no regrets or lingering feelings
Na In Woo plays Yoo Do Jin, a genius tennis player who holds unprecedented records in Korean sports history. His character, born from a divine mistake, is a product of his strengths. While gifted with exceptional talent, he also suffers the ordeal of losing loved ones
Kim Ji Won, Lee Jung Eun, Son Hyun Joo, and Kim Woo Seok all confirmed
Kye Su Jeong - a top-tier surgeon at Jang Hui Suk's agency and a genius surgeon dispatched to fill the vacancy in the surgical department at Guseo University Hospital. She is a mad dog in the operating room who shows everything through her surgical skills, and she is a character who brings the corruption of medical power to the operating table.
Jang Hui Suk - the director of 'Jang Hui Suk Doctor Service Agency' who is only interested in money. Jang Hui Suk may seem like a loudmouth and talkative snob, but she is actually a clever person who uses her public image for her own business.
Bu Seung Gwon - the director of a branch of Guseo University Hospital. He is a man who strives to rebuild a collapsing university hospital.
Park Tae Gyeong - a wealthy intern whose hospital life becomes entangled after meeting Kye Su Jeong. Park Tae Gyeong, the only son of a family working at a large hospital in a provincial city, possesses a kind and compassionate outlook.
I definitely thought this was gonna be a pretty easy and fun watch but they just filled the time up with too many unneeded story arcs. Pretty disappointed that this turned into more about solving problems than just being a cute rom-com, first few episodes had me fooled
Also wish we got to see a bit more of Sang Hyeon and Jin Gyeong's relationship develop, was leading to something really nice but the writer did em' both pretty dirty in this
Scheduled for first half of 2026 release. Will be a Sat-Sun drama with 12 episodes
Character roles: Hwang Dong Man - A member of the famous 8-member committee in the film industry, the only one among them who has been unable to debut for 20 years and is just aging aimlessly Byeon Eun-ah - A PD affiliated with Choi Film Park Gyeong Se - Director affiliated with Ko Park Film Ko Hye Jin - CEO of film production company Ko Park Film Hwang Jin Man - Dong Man's older brother
Not that I like it but Astory released an AI video a year ago of their planning intention of what they wanted the series to look like. Looks like it'll be pretty dark
