Jang Da Ah And Lee Min Jae’s Tender Past Comes Crashing Into The Present With Uhm Jung Hwa And Song Seung Heon In “My Troublesome Star”
ENA’s “My Troublesome Star” has shared a sneak peek at the dramatic reunion between Uhm Jung Hwa and Song Seung Heon! “My Troublesome Star” is a romantic comedy about Korea’s biggest star Im Se Ra (Jang Da Ah), who mysteriously vanishes and wakes up one day as Bong Cheong Ja (Uhm Jung Hwa), an ordinary middle-aged woman. Song Seung Heon will star as Dokgo Chul, a former detective who helps Bong Cheong Ja as she struggles to navigate life after losing 25 years in the blink of an eye. The newly released stills spotlight the sharp contrast between Bong Cheong Ja and Dokgo Chul’s past and present. In one scene, Bong Cheong Ja wakes up in a hospital, only to be rattled when nobody recognizes her. Meanwhile, Dokgo Chul’s bewildered look as he listens to her insist she is the “nation’s goddess” Im Se Ra adds to the intrigue. With her hands firmly on her hips, Bong Cheong Ja looks ready for battle, hinting at the pair’s extraordinary reunion. The stills also revisit their youthful past, brimming with a very different kind of tension. Im Se Ra (played by Jang Da Ah), once the youngest actress ever to win Best Actress, captivates with her radiant smile. In 1999, she dominated the nation with her unparalleled star power, but behind the spotlight was a hidden darkness that raises questions about her story. In one photo, she tearfully phones none other than rookie detective Dokgo Chul (Lee Min Jae). Although worlds apart—a national icon and a greenhorn cop—the reason for their entanglement remains shrouded in mystery. Another still captures Dokgo Chul gently tending to Im Se Ra’s wounds, while she gazes back at him intently, unable to look away. What secret lies behind her sudden disappearance of 25 years, and what chaotic comeback show will unfold when Bong Cheong Ja and Dokgo Chul cross paths again after decades? “My Troublesome Star” will premiere on August 18 at 10 p.m. KST and will be available on Viki.
Park Hee Soon Is The Smooth And Dependable Big Brother Figure Of Park Min Young’s Con Team In “Confidence Queen”
The upcoming drama “Confidence Queen” has unveiled new stills of Park Hee Soon in character! A Korean adaptation of the 2018 Japanese comedy drama “The Confidence Man JP,” “Confidence Queen” follows three con artists with extraordinary talents as they pull off elaborate scams targeting villains from all walks of life. Park Min Young stars as Yoon Yi Rang, a con artist with an IQ of 165 and a genius-level intellect in the top 1 percent. With her eccentric thinking and cold charisma, she leads the team in their intricate schemes. Park Hee Soon stars as James, the eldest member and big brother figure of the team. James balances the group with his smooth attitude, disarming humor, and quietly commanding presence—a character exuding timeless, classic charm. The new stills highlight James’s infinite charms as the “gentleman” of the team. In one still, James sports a hip, colorful outfit and neatly organizes stacks of cash on a table, flashing a bright smile that reflects his role as the group’s anchor. In another, holding a champagne glass with a soft gaze, James radiates effortless warmth in transparent horn-rimmed glasses and a perfectly fitting denim shirt. A different shot captures James in a sharp suit, staring out of a building window with a piercing look befitting a master strategist. Sharing why he chose “Confidence Queen,” Park Hee Soon explained, “I’ve been taking on a lot of heavy and serious roles lately, so I wanted to try something light and fun. I also had a strong thirst for change.” He continued, “I was drawn to the multifaceted charms of James. He’s a character with both wit and the ability to resolve situations. What really appealed to me was the chance to not only do comedy but also transform into a variety of personas through James. I was excited to bring him to life in the unique, fast-paced, and exhilarating atmosphere of ‘Confidence Queen.’” The actor also opened up about the challenges of portraying the role in detail: “With every new script that came out, I had to directly set the character analysis, acting style, costumes, and makeup for each of James’s different personas, which wasn’t easy. For the external aspects, I worked closely with the costume and makeup teams, gathering a lot of references and ideas to create each character. After that, I studied speech patterns, gestures, and even walking styles to fully complete the portrayals.” Finally, Park Hee Soon added a message for viewers: “‘Confidence Queen’ is a thrilling, game-like drama filled with unique characters. Every moment is packed with unexpected twists, balancing humor and suspense. I hope everyone will enjoy the ride together.” “Confidence Queen” is set to premiere on September 6 at 9:10 p.m. KST.
Song Joong Ki, Chun Woo Hee, Lee Joo Myung, And Seo Ji Hoon Revisit First Love As Adults In “My Youth” Poster
JTBC’s upcoming Friday drama “My Youth” has unveiled a nostalgic new poster! “My Youth” is a romance drama that tells the story of Sunwoo Hae (Song Joong Ki), who begins to live an ordinary life later than most people, and Sung Je Yeon (Chun Woo Hee), who must disrupt her first love’s tranquility for her own success. The group poster builds excitement, recalling the characters’ pure, awkward 19-year-old days as dazzling and radiant because they filled each other’s unspoken voids by being one another’s first love. Sunwoo Hae, who spent his 20s working to make a living, now seems to have found peace as he smiles brightly, surrounded by flowers. Also drawing attention is his first love, Sung Je Yeon, whose presence brings a rush of excitement that threatens to break his calm. For Sung Je Yeon, time with Sunwoo Hae was a refuge from the colorless routine of being 19, when life followed strict rules and left no room to dream of escape. Now, reunited as adults, anticipation grows over what emotions their first love will revive, and what new side of Sunwoo Hae Je Yeon will capture through the camera. Mo Tae Rin (Lee Joo Myung), who rose to fame with Sunwoo Hae as the “nation’s siblings,” now shows a different side in her focus on a script, shaped by the experience of overcoming the struggles of being a child star. Her only comfort, the one that freed her from the pressure to perform flawlessly because she was so loved, was the voice that came through the school’s broadcast system. Tae Rin’s first love, who consoled her childhood, was Kim Seok Joo (Seo Ji Hoon). Seok Joo’s flawless appearance and warm smile add to the excitement. As he crosses paths again with Tae Rin—someone who becomes more intriguing and fascinating the more he gets to know her—curiosity grows over what thrilling changes she might bring to his orderly life. The production team of “My Youth” said, “The reunion of Sunwoo Hae, Sung Je Yeon, Mo Tae Rin, and Kim Seok Joo, who remember each other’s 19-year-old days, will evoke emotions that are cheerful yet heartfelt, sometimes warm, and sometimes bold.” “My Youth” is set to premiere on September 5 at 8:50 p.m. KST and will air two consecutive episodes every Friday. The drama will be available on Viki.

“My Girlfriend is the Man!” has shared new stills ahead of its upcoming episode! Based on the popular webtoon of the same name, “My Girlfriend is the Man!” is a romantic comedy about a college student whose girlfriend unexpectedly transforms into a man. ASTRO’s Yoon San Ha stars as Park Yoon Jae, an astronomy student who is head over heels for his girlfriend Kim Ji Eun (OH MY GIRL’s Arin). Due to a gene that runs in her family, Kim Ji Eun suddenly turns into a handsome man (played by Yoo Jung Hoo) and begins going by the name Kim Ji Hoon. Spoilers In the previous episode, Kim Ji Hoon was upset that he could not join Park Yoon Jae on a trip to the Hawaii observatory, which Park Yoon Jae had revealed was his dream, until he returns to being a woman. On top of that, he was shocked to learn that his grandfather (Yoon Joo Sang) was actually a grandmother, living as a man without being able to return to being a woman. The upcoming episode will depict a change in Kim Ji Hoon and Park Yoon Jae’s relationship. In the episode, Kim Ji Hoon treats Park Yoon Jae differently when they meet at school. When Yoon Jae, who had arrived early and was waiting, sees Ji Hoon, he greets Kim Ji Hoon with a serious expression, hiding whatever he was looking at, while Kim Ji Hoon says something that surprises Park Yoon Jae. Kim Ji Hoon suggests they get up and walk, then suddenly puts his arm around Park Yoon Jae, leaving him flustered. The production team commented, “’My Girlfriend is the Man!’ will continue to deliver twists and surprises,” adding, “Please pay attention to whether the relationship between Park Yoon Jae and Kim Ji Hoon will change following the eventful eighth episode.” The next episode of “My Girlfriend is the Man!” will air on August 20 at 9:50 p.m. KST.
Kim Mi Kyung’s Uninvited Presence And Intrusive Behavior Fuel Yum Jung Ah’s Anger In “Love, Take Two”
“Love, Take Two” has shared new stills ahead of tonight’s episode! “Love, Take Two” is a heartwarming comedy drama about 43-year-old single mother Lee Ji An (Yum Jung Ah) and her 23-year-old daughter Lee Hyo Ri (Choi Yoon Ji). The pair moves to the countryside to start a new chapter in their lives, encountering various people and chaotic situations that teach them profound lessons about life. Spoilers In the previous episode, Hyo Ri’s dream house was finally completed. After finally reconciling and opening up to one another, Ji An and Hyo Ri vowed to begin a fresh life there. However, on the very first night, things took an unexpected turn. Two wild dogs descended from the mountains, and an electrical problem left the house in complete darkness. At that moment, an uninvited guest appeared—Jung Moon Hee (Kim Mi Kyung)—warmly greeting them with, “Mom is late, isn’t she? My daughter, did you wait long for me?” Her affectionate words, contrasted with Ji An’s conflicted gaze, left viewers even more intrigued about the nature of their relationship. The newly released stills show Moon Hee returning once again to seek out Ji An. At the restaurant Ji An runs with Kim Sun Young (Kim Sun Young), Moon Hee joins Ji An and Ryu Jeong Seok (Park Hae Joon) at their table uninvited, her meddlesome chatter and nagging quickly cooling the atmosphere. Acting as though she were Ji An’s mother, Moon Hee fusses over her, while Ji An shoots back a look of clear disapproval. Between them, Jeong Seok sits uneasily, sensing the tension without fully grasping the situation. Another still captures a four-way confrontation between Ji An, Jeong Seok, Hyo Ri, and Moon Hee. When Ji An finds Moon Hee inside the kitchen without permission, she finally explodes in anger, while Hyo Ri looks on in shock. As Kim Sun Young tries to comfort Ji An, Moon Hee remains calm and unshaken—her composed demeanor only deepening curiosity about the mysterious bond that may connect her and Ji An. The production team shared, “In today’s fifth episode, Ji An is forced to confront the painful memories she has tried to bury because of the intrusion of the ‘mysterious guest’ Jung Moon Hee, while Hyo Ri witnesses her mother’s long-standing pain with deep empathy. Through Ji An, others will also come to reveal their own pasts and stories of ‘mother,’ delivering heartfelt and relatable moments.” The next episode of “Love, Take Two” airs on August 18 at 8:50 p.m. KST.
