Choi Sooyoung appears as Kim Jaeyoung's black knight.
The Genie TV original drama idol i, which will be first released on Monday the 22nd, (directed by Lee Kwangyoung, written by Kim Darin, planned by KT Studio Genie, produced by ASTORY) on the 2nd released the main poster that hints at the unpredictable bond between Maeng Sena (played by Choi Sooyoung) and Doraik (played by Kim Jaeyoung).
idol i is a mystery courtroom romance that unfolds when fan-obsessed star lawyer Maeng Sena takes on the case of her favorite idol Doraik, who is accused of murder. A romance proving the innocence of her "favorite," in which she must hide her true feelings to reveal the truth, is expected to deliver thrilling excitement amid cheerful laughter.
Director Lee Kwangyoung, who showcased delicate and sensuous direction through drama such as say i love you, takes the helm, and writer Kim Darin, known for fresh writing, is in charge of the script. In addition, ASTORY, which has consistently produced hit works such as Big Mouth, Extraordinary Attorney Woo, and Signal, is producing, drawing attention.
As anticipation grows the more is revealed, the main poster released that day amplifies curiosity about the unpredictable relationship between Maeng Sena and Doraik. First, the two people in completely different worlds are intriguing. Behind the confident Maeng Sena is a piled stack of documents and a cold, barren scene that suggests the hard road she took to become a "star lawyer." In contrast, Doraik standing under glamorous lights with a killer smile is the star who captivates fans. The variable in this seemingly unrelated relationship between a star and a lawyer is the twist that Sena is a fan of the Gold Boys' Doraik. Additionally, the phrase "my favorite with a killer smile becomes a suspect in a murder case" deepens curiosity about the unexpectedly intersecting destiny of the two. Maeng Sena, who only takes on cases others avoid and holds the title of "devil's lawyer," — whether she can save her "favorite" Doraik, who has become a murder suspect, and prove his innocence is a romance already anticipated.
Calling the "favorite-fan" relationship a distinguishing feature of idol i, Choi Sooyoung said, "Even without direct connections, there may be no relationship that can be tied together with such solid trust other than the star-fan relationship," and added, "Sena is a person who likes and watches Raik every day. That conviction is why Sena can believe in and understand Raik. Please look forward to that strong bond." Kim Jaeyoung added, "The genre diversity is our drama's special charm," saying, "The uncommon combination of a mystery courtroom romance is intriguing. Within it, viewers will be able to experience layered emotions, suspense, and romantic thrills."
Meanwhile, the Genie TV original drama idol i will be released on KT Genie TV at 10 p.m. on Monday the 22nd and will have its first broadcast on ENA. The OTT is available on Netflix.<
