Uhm Tae Goo, Han Sun Hwa, And Kwon Yool Confirmed For New Romance Drama Based On Webtoon

Uhm Tae Goo, Han Sun Hwa, and Kwon Yool’s upcoming drama “The Woman Who Plays” (literal translation) has unveiled its first stills!

Based on a popular webtoon of the same name, “The Woman Who Plays” is a romance drama that tells the story of Ji Hwan (Uhm Tae Goo), a former gang leader, and Eun Ha (Han Sun Hwa), a YouTuber who makes content for kids.

Uhm Tae Goo takes on the role of Seo Ji Hwan, the CEO of the social enterprise “Thirsty Deer” who has left behind his past as a former gang leader. Traveling nationwide to dismantle gangs, Seo Ji Hwan actively recruits former members upon their release from prison and guides them toward a fresh start. Behind his determination to reshape the world of organized crime and sever ties with his past, Seo Ji Hwan holds a secret story.

Han Sun Hwa will play Go Eun Ha, a content creator for children known as “Mini Unnie.” Fueled by memories of a caring older boy from her childhood neighborhood who was the only one willing to play with her, Go Eun Ha grows up with a mission to convey love and happiness to children. Always prioritizing the well-being of children over financial concerns, Eun Ha often receives the cold shoulder from her production company due to her low number of subscribers, but she remains unwaveringly bright, determined, and resilient.

Kwon Yool will portray Jang Hyeon Woo, a prosecutor at the Seoul Central District Prosecutors’ Office and an enthusiastic subscriber of Mini Unnie. Jang Hyeon Woo exhibits endless kindness toward children visiting the prosecution office but maintains a firm belief that “people don’t change” when it comes to criminals. As a result, he harbors continuous suspicion toward Seo Ji Hwan, who legally takes former convicts under his wings.

The production team expressed, “At first glance, it may seem like these characters are people living in different worlds. However, we want to provide viewers with the excitement of uncovering plot twists and heart-fluttering moments as the characters dispel prejudices and discover the true value of others. We are already looking forward to the acting synergy of Uhm Tae Goo, Han Sun Hwa, and Kwon Yool.”

“The Woman Who Plays” is scheduled to premiere in 2024. Stay tuned for updates!
