Buoyant atmosphere at Suspicious Partner script read
by tineybeanie
SBS’s upcoming rom-com drama Suspicious Partner just held its first script read, and it looks so cute already. Ji Chang-wook (The K2)) is starring as a prickly tsundere prosecutor—the epitome of a sexy brainiac—while Nam Ji-hyun (Shopping King Louis) will be playing his love interest, an energetic new judicial trainee who breaks through the walls of his heart.
She’s an outsider who becomes involved in a suspicious case, and together they fall in love as they work together to get to the bottom of this mystery. Previous character synopses say that she is supposed to have been a professional martial artist who suddenly decided to pursue a law degree instead. I wonder if the catalyst for her career switch may be somehow related with the case.
PD Park Sun-ho, who co-produced Legend of the Blue Sea and Jackpot, is taking the lead on this project, and Protect the Boss’s writer Kwon Ki-young is in charge of the script. Welcoming their actors and staff, PD Park said: “Making precious bonds with each other, let’s have fun on set, and let’s work hard try to create beautiful pictures that we will be proud of.” Writer Kwon added that she was honored to work with everyone that she would do her best.
The two second leads Choi Tae-joon (Missing 9) and Hello Venus idol member Nara were also present at the script read. Choi, who is real-life besties with Ji Chang-wook, will be playing his friend in the drama, who is a lawyer that grew up without a lot of love. It was reported that the production staff were surprised at how reliable Nara’s acting skills were at the script read. So it looks like Suspicious Partner is coming along well.
Wednesday-Thursday drama Suspicious Partner will begin airing on May 10.

Yes! I can't wait for this. I hope the premise is executed well because I actually find the idea of the leads being stuck in the villain's own personal murderous time-loop to be really compelling.
I also love when leads are partners-in-crime before falling in love so I look forward to the romance. I really wanted a bit more working together between the leads in SWDBS. But, with the villain's amnesia, in this drama we can hopefully expect a lot to happen to our leads every episode! Lol, I probably shouldn't be excited about that, but hey, I like when there's drama in my drama.

Since everyone already swoon over JCW, i will talk about how beautiful Nam Ji Hyun look she looks mature in those pictures, this little girl grew up fine.
Looking forward to this drama, the cast is great, I hope Nara can act so we won't have a hard time watching another idol crappie acting.

She looks very lovely in warm "soft" tones. I remembered when she was little Deokman and now she's the main lead in this and other dramas.

I hope cast would not change their looks for drama. Am I asking for too much? I really like JCW's haircut and glasses and NJH looks great without (awful) bangs

Is anyone else getting Park Bong Soo flashback with JCW? Maybe it's the glasses? Or how sweet he looks. Gah! I'm a sucker for a good tsundere, all prickly with mostly bark and little bite. Unless you have an alter ego like Healer, in which case yes please! I wonder if we will get that with suspicious partner.

Omgg really excited for this pairing!
Wasn't that much a fan of Protect the Boss and Jackpot but hopefully this works out well!
But Choi Tae Joon just keeps reminding me of his character in Missing 9 :P Glad that he is playing the good guy this time!

That amnesiac serial killer plot thread is still happening, right? RIGHT? And how about a crossover with I Remember You by having our favorite psycho Lee Joon-Young make a small appearance?

Ji Changwook with those glasses on makes him so damn cute! On the side note, really looking forward to watching this drama since I wasn't able to give the K2 a shot when it aired.

Glad to see her in more prime time dramas. She did balance school and acting well. Since she graduated from university already she has the time to focus on her acting career.
Can't wait for Kim Yoo-jung, Jin Ji-hee, Kim Hyang-gi, Seo Shin-ae etc to be done with school so we can see more of them in dramas/films.
I love Korea's talented child actors. I've seen some of them grow up on tv into some of the industries finest young actors.
(Hi Yeo Jin-gu, Shim Eun-kyung, Moon Geun-young etc).

yay a drama where JCW isn't an undercover-agent-fight machine! I adored him in Healer but dropped K2 after a couple of episodes. Even put myself through the Lotte mini-series for him lol
looking forward to this!
