Joo Ji-hoon had initially planned to appear in the drama remake of ‘Insiders’, but he ultimately turned down the offer and decided to join the cast of ‘Buy King’.
According to an exclusive report by Eyes, ENA's new drama "Shinbyeong 4" (directed by Min Jin-ki) began filming its first scenes on the 15th and is now preparing for the full-scale broadcast of season 4.
Shinbyeong is a hyper-realistic military comedy that tells the story of a rookie soldier (military "gold spoon") who enlists and gets involved with all kinds of characters, from the good guys to the bad guys and the strange ones. The series started in 2022 with season 1, followed by season 2 in 2023 and season 3 in 2025. Season 4 is expected to air later this year as an ENA Monday-Tuesday drama.
In Shinbyeong 4, original cast members Kim Min-ho and Nam Tae-woo, who have been with the show since season 1, will make their return. Along with them, actors like Oh Dae-hwan and Kim Yo-han, who joined in previous seasons (season 3) and contributed to the show's success, will also appear. Additionally, new characters will be introduced in season 4, promising even more intense and thrilling episodes compared to previous seasons.
The four of them are positioned in front of a screen featuring the Ilwol Obongdo (the traditional Korean painting), each striking a different pose that highlights their individual personalities.
In particular, attention is drawn to the central figures, Seong Hee-joo and Prince Yi An. The only commoner among them, Seong Hee-joo, casually rests her arm on Prince Yi An’s shoulder, while Yi An, the second son of the royal family who cannot become king, naturally tilts his body toward her. Although their marriage is a contractual one, driven by a desire to change their fates, the poster suggests they will rely on each other as a married couple.
Prime Minister Min Jeong-woo and Queen Mother Yoon I-rang also exude exceptional charisma as they gaze forward with upright postures. Their lives are likely to be profoundly influenced by the marriage between Seong Hee-joo and Yi An, which adds to the intrigue around the relationships between the four characters.
The poster also captures the unique beauty of "21st Century Grand Queen," with traditional and modern elements harmoniously blended through objects like bonsai trees, ceramics, glass lamps, and window frames. These elements give a glimpse into the royal scenery that will appear in the drama, further increasing expectations.
According to MyDaily's investigation on the 16th, Ju Ji-hoon had initially planned to appear in the drama remake of "Inside Men", but ultimately decided to pass on it and chose to appear in the drama "Viking".
He will play Han Tae-jun, a man who is ruthless and without mercy in the face of success and power.
With Ju Ji-hoon no longer appearing in "Inside Men", the production will undergo significant changes. Filming has been delayed, and the original plans are being extensively revised. After taking a brief pause, the production will restart.
“Viking" is speeding up production with Ju Ji-hoon’s decision to join. Directed by Jo Seong-hee, known for "A Werewolf Boy" and "Space Sweepers", and written by Lee Shin-ho, the drama will have 10 episodes, with more than 8 scripts already completed.
Kang Tae Joo (played by Park Hae Soo) is a tough detective in Gangseong Police Station. He was once a top detective in Seoul but was demoted to his hometown of Gangseong after being labeled a whistleblower. He sees the Gangseong serial murder case as a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to advance in the police force, but he soon discovers that the prosecutor in charge of the case is Si Young (played by Lee Hee Jun), the person who bullied him during his school years. This revelation fills him with anger. As he clashes with Si Young at every turn, the case continues to spiral into deeper mystery.
Cha Si Young (played by Lee Hee Jun) is a prosecutor at Gangseong Prosecutor's Office. Born into an elite family, he is an ideal prosecutor with exceptional work skills and a polished demeanor, easily gaining favor from others. However, in reality, he is a person consumed by desires for recognition, power, and competition. After gaining fame for solving the Gangseong serial murder case, he desperately needs the help of his former classmate, Tae Joo (played by Park Hae Soo), in order to enter the political world. But Tae Joo becomes an obstacle for Si Young, and ultimately, he is forced to make a choice he should never have made...
Seo Ji Won (played by Kwak Seon Young) is a reporter for Gangseong Ilbo. She is Tae Joo's elementary school classmate and is righteous, outspoken, and determined. Once she latches onto a story, she never lets go. While the investigation into the Gangseong serial murders unfolds, she keeps a close eye on the police, playing the role of a vigilant watchdog. However, as the case grows more convoluted and Tae Joo is increasingly cornered, she tries to help him in any way she can, but the situation only continues to worsen.
According to SPOTV News coverage on the 9th, Oh Jung-se is set to join the cast of the drama “The Law of the Line.”
It tells the story of breaking the power games of office “mafias” and destroying the internal “lines” (factions) within a workplace. It is expected to resonate with viewers by portraying the realistic struggles and concerns of office workers.
this will be a short-form drama and will be released on the 26th march at 6 PM through the global short-form platform DramaBox, simultaneously in Korea, the United States, Japan, and Taiwan.
Writer Im Sung-han, known for her bold and distinctive storytelling, returns with Doctor Shin, a medical thriller set to premiere on March 14 at 10:30 PM on TV Chosun and Coupang Play. The drama follows a genius doctor who challenges the boundaries of human life and a woman whose brain is suddenly damaged, causing her soul to fade. This marks Im’s first foray into the medical thriller genre, focusing on how medicine and medical skill can alter human lives rather than simply depicting medical procedures.
The long gap since her previous work, nearly three years, was due to the complexity of casting multiple lead characters and ensuring that their relationships and images aligned perfectly with the story. The main character, Shin Ju-shin, was intentionally named to evoke the idea of a god, reflecting the theme of challenging the limits of human capability.
The drama combines romance, suspense, and psychological intensity, promising a unique viewing experience.
