The Genie TV original drama "My Troublesome Star" (directed by Choi Young-hoon, written by Park Ji-ha, planned by KT Studio Genie, produced by Jumbo Film), which will premiere on August 18 (Monday) at 10 p.m., revealed a second teaser video on the 22nd, heightening expectations for the "return show" of Bong Cheong-ja (played by Uhm Jung-hwa) and Dokgo-cheol (played by Song Seung-heon).
"My Troublesome Star" is a romantic comedy that unfolds as Korea's top star becomes an ordinary middle-aged woman overnight. The comical return show of Bong Cheong-ja (aka Lim Se-ra), a once-famous star who has suddenly lost 25 years, and Dokgo-cheol, a police officer who helps her, provokes laughter, empathy, and excitement. Director Choi Young-hoon, known for his stylish direction in works like "One the Woman" and "Good Casting," collaborates with writer Park Ji-ha, who garnered public empathy through "She Who Sees Smells." The reunion of Uhm Jung-hwa and Song Seung-heon after 10 years since "Miss Wife" is also attracting attention.
If the first teaser video sparked curiosity with Bong Cheong-ja's denial of reality, the newly released second teaser ignites anticipation with the chemistry moving between her and Dokgo-cheol. The first meeting between the luminous "national first love" Lim Se-ra (played by Jang Da-ah) and rookie detective Dokgo-cheol (played by Lee Min-jae) draws attention. However, for some reason, the scene where Bong Cheong-ja suddenly becomes a 50-year-old woman in an instant, losing 25 years, is both hilarious and sad.
The reunion with Dokgo-cheol, who made an appearance like a savior during her life's worst moments, is intriguing. Despite having a perfect appearance from head to toe, Dokgo-cheol generates embarrassing moments when he stands in front of Bong Cheong-ja, which adds to the humor. It raises curiosity about why Dokgo-cheol, who aimed for a return to the violent crimes unit, disguised himself as Bong Cheong-ja's manager, claiming to be "the former Lim Se-ra." Most importantly, people are eager to see how Dokgo-cheol's romantic comedy, depicted alongside Bong Cheong-ja's disastrous and spectacular return show, will unfold, especially since she has completely lost 25 years of memories.
As soon as the teaser video was released, various responses poured in on social media and public communities, with comments such as, "Just watching the teaser is already funny and cute," "I've waited so long for such a romantic comedy," "I fully support Uhm Jung-hwa and Song Seung-heon's romantic comedy," "I also look forward to the chemistry between Jang Da-ah and Lee Min-jae," and "Bong Cheong-ja's tear-jerking return show is already generating dopamine."
Meanwhile, the Genie TV original drama "My Troublesome Star" will premiere on August 18 (Monday) at 10 p.m. on channel ENA, and will be exclusively available for free VOD on KT Genie TV immediately after the broadcast every Monday and Tuesday at 10 p.m.
