My Troublesome Star stars Uhm Jung-hwa, Song Seung-heon, Jang Da-a, and Lee Min-jae, bringing excitement through a romance that transcends 25 years.
The side of 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 premieres on Aug. 18 at 10 p.m., unveiled two nostalgic posters on the 30th, hinting at the special relationship between Bong Cheong-ja (Uhm Jung-hwa) and Dokgo-cheol (Song Seung-heon).
'My Troublesome Star' is a romantic comedy that showcases tears and laughter as the nation's top star suddenly becomes an ordinary middle-aged woman. The drama depicts the comeback show of Bong Cheong-ja (a.k.a. Im Se-ra), a career-interrupted top star who has transcended 25 years, and the police officer Dokgo-chul, who helps her, promising enjoyable laughter, empathy, and excitement. Director Choi Young-hoon, who has shown his artistic direction in 'One the Woman' and 'Good Casting,' and writer Park Ji-ha, who garnered public empathy through 'Day and Night Are Different for Her,' are joining forces. High expectations surround the reunion of the reliable production team, who has proven their capabilities in 'Good Casting,' and the attention is focused on the reunion of Uhm Jung-hwa and Song Seung-heon after 10 years since 'Miss Wife.' Rising stars Jang Da-a and Lee Min-jae will also portray the youthful days of the two leads, stirring excitement among drama fans.
The two nostalgic posters released on this day build anticipation for the before-and-after romance connecting Bong Cheong-ja and Dokgo-cheol's past and present. First, Bong Cheong-ja, under the trophy for Best Actress, catches attention with her shining eyes, as if she is about to create an extraordinary event. Although her glamorous past is completely edited out, her expression appears to be stuck in that sparkling era, radiating confidence and charm. Also intriguing is Dokgo-cheol, who looks at her with a sweet smile. Now a relaxed veteran, the twist comes from Dokgo-cheol, the rookie police officer (Lee Min-jae), who shyly gazes at Im Se-ra.
The other poster released together adds to the excitement with the youthful past of the nation's first love Im Se-ra and rookie police officer Dokgo-cheol. The reunion of Bong Cheong-ja, who has gone from 'national goddess' to 'just a citizen,' and Dokgo-cheol, who has been demoted due to an unexpected incident, raises curiosity about how their collaboration in the comeback show to reclaim their respective places will unfold in the worst of circumstances. The phrase '(former) national goddess's (current) national star challenge' next to Dokgo-cheol, who stands by Bong Cheong-ja claiming to be the 'top star' Im Se-ra who mysteriously disappeared 25 years ago, further heightens expectations for the romance that has continued from the past.
Meanwhile, the Genie TV original drama 'My Troublesome Star' will air its first broadcast on Aug. 18 at 10 p.m. on channel ENA, and will be exclusively available for free as VOD on KT Genie TV immediately after the main broadcast every Monday and Tuesday at 10 p.m.
