My Troublesome Star's Oh Dae-hwan showcases the true value of a comic villain.
The Genie TV original drama My Troublesome Star, which will premiere on the night of 18th (Monday) at 10 p.m., has released character stills of Kang Du-won (Oh Dae-hwan), who faces turmoil with the comeback of the career-interrupted top star Bong Cheong-ja (played by Im Se-ra/Uhm Jung-hwa).
My Troublesome Star is a romantic comedy about the tears and laughs that unfold after the best top star in Korea suddenly becomes an ordinary middle-aged woman. The comeback show of the career-interrupted top star 'Bong Cheong-ja' and the 'Dokko Chul' (played by Song Seung-heon), a rogue cop assisting her, evokes pleasant laughter, empathy, and excitement.
Director Choi Young-hoon, who showcased his sensibility through works like 'One the Woman' and 'Good Casting,' teamed up with writer Park Ji-ha, who gained public sympathy with 'Day and Night Is Different for Her.' Amid excitement for the reunion of the trusted production team that excelled in 'Good Casting,' attention is also focused on the 10-year reunion of Uhm Jung-hwa and Song Seung-heon, following 'Miss Wife.' Additionally, the joining of Lee El and Oh Dae-hwan, who will emphasize the completeness, is also exciting drama fans.
In the meantime, the released character stills of 'Kang Du-won' further stimulate curiosity. Kang Du-won is a global entertainment representative who dominates the entertainment industry, but he is a person who experienced a time as a 'highly perceptive' road manager who shrinks infinitely when facing Im Se-ra. Kang Du-won's sharp gaze and charisma suggest his changed status after persevering and reaching the top.
On the other hand, the contrast in Kang Du-won's charisma foreshadows the change that has come to him. It appears as if he has witnessed something he shouldn't have, with his eyes wide open. The one who caused this collapse of his charisma is Bong Cheong-ja, who instantly recalls his days as a 'highly perceptive' road manager. Curiosity arises about what variable Bong Cheong-ja's comeback show, which has re-emerged after 25 years, will present to the successfully rising Kang Du-won. Previously released teasers captured Kang Du-won proposing a contract to Bong Cheong-ja, drawing attention to their astonishing reunion with reversed roles.
Oh Dae-hwan said, 'I read the script without realizing time passed. Hearing the casting news of Uhm Jung-hwa and Song Seung-heon made me want to be part of it even more.' He added, 'Kang Du-won is a person who does not shy away from anything for his success. Please look forward to the various interesting expressions of Kang Du-won.' He continued, 'I focused on portraying the character of 'Kang Du-won' throughout the time before and after his success, as well as when Bong Cheong-ja reappeared.'
Meanwhile, the Genie TV original drama My Troublesome Star will first air on Aug. 18 (Monday) at 10 p.m. on the ENA channel, and will be exclusively available for free VOD on KT Genie TV immediately after the live broadcasts every Monday and Tuesday at 10 p.m.
