Ji Chang-wook, Wie Ha-joon, Im Se-mi

Disney+ has lined up a new crime-action drama called The Worst Evil, which stars Ji Chang-wook (If You Wish Upon Me), Im Se-mi (Critical X), and Wie Ha Joon (Little Women) – who must not sleep because he’s going to be in all the things (not that I’m complaining). Slated to air next year in 2023, filmmaker Han Dong-wook (Man in Love) is attached to direct. [News1]

tvN’s House on Wheels is back with season 4 and we have a new ~~errand boy~~ maknae on the team: Kim Ro-woon (Tomorrow)! Launching next week on October 13, our eager new beaver is featured alongside his bickering hyungs, Sung Dong-il (If You Wish Upon Me) and Kim Hee-won (Big Issue), in the variety show’s newest teaser. [News1]

Over on tvN, stills of the first script reading were released for Call My Agent, featuring our team of talent managers: Lee Seo-jin (Dr. Park’s Clinic), Kwak Sun-young (Inspector Koo), Seo Hyun-woo (Extracurricular), and Joo Hyun-young (Extraordinary Attorney Woo). Exploring the chaotic world of the acting industry, the office rom-com will be broadcasting this coming November. [Newsis]
Ryu Hyun-kyung (Cheer Up) is joining the cast of SBS’s upcoming Trolley in the role of Kim Hyun-joo’s (Hellbound) high school friend, who is connected to Kim’s secret past. Also starring Park Hee-soon (A Model Family), the mystery melodrama will be coming to our screens this December in SBS’s Monday-Tuesday slot. [JTBC]

Song Ha-yoon, Super Junior’s Donghae, Lee Min-jae, Jung Woo-yeon

A new drama called Oh! Young-shim has lined up actors Song Ha-yoon (Please Don’t Date Him), Super Junior’s Donghae (God’s Quiz 4), Lee Min-jae (Cheer Up), and Jung Woo-yeon (A Good Supper). Based on the popular comic book and animated series Young-shim from the 1990’s, the story has since been remade into a movie, novel, and musical version as well. Written by Jeon Sun-young with PD Oh Hwan-min and PD Kim Kyung-eun co-directing, the drama adaptation has already finished filming and is planning to air in early 2023. [JTBC]
The nominees have been announced for the International Emmy Awards and Lee Seon-kyun (yay!) is up for Best Actor, for his role in AppleTV+’s Dr. Brain. KBS got a nod as well with The King’s Affection being nominated for the Telenovela section, which is happy news for the sageuk’s stars: Park Eun-bin and Kim Ro-woon. Here’s hoping for a K-drama win! [Sports Donga]
The pretty poster train continues for MBC’s May I Help You, this time featuring Song Deok-ho (Link: Eat, Love, Kill) and Lee Kyu-han (Sunbae, Don’t Put on that Lipstick) in addition to our main helper duo: Hyeri (Moonshine) and Jun (a.k.a. Lee Yun-young) (Let Me Be Your Knight). The fantasy rom-com premieres in just two weeks on October 19. [News1]

Is it too much to hope for a Wi Ha Joon proper lead role in 2023 as well do you think?

The International Emmy Awards has a Telenovela section? I'm clearly out of the loop on Hollywood.

I’m excited for Donghae in a drama. It doesn’t need to be good 😂

I really liked the previous seasons of The House on Wheel. They kinda hinted Lee Jae-Wook, Kim Young-Dae, Kim Hye-Yoon, Park Eun-Bin, Nam Yoon-Su and Kim Sun-Hee as guests, it would make Extraordinary You, The King's Affection and Tomorrow reunions!

I didn't watch Lee Seon-kyun's drama and barely heard about it, but I totally can imagine the jury falling for his voice :p I'm really happy for The King's Affection, it's very surprising but totally deserved!

There are so many news about new dramas that my brains is saturing 😅

1. I state once again, Wi Ha-joon must be freed from the shackles of secondary male lead-dom and the crime/thriller genres. Give this man what the people want: a kissing drama.

2. Next week! Rowoon as the next maknae is a great choice.

3. Was the French-language original an office romcom? I don’t mind potential adaptational changes, I’m just curious.

4. An entire cast of sexy people, I love to see it.

5. Odd choice for a male lead, but I hope ELFs have fun with this.

6. I always forget the International Emmys are a thing until it always randomly nominates whatever non-English television I had watched.

7. Still not drawn to the show itself, but the sunlit aesthetic is doing wonders for the promos.

I swear Sung Dong Il is everywhere I look. I have hopes for May I help you. For Oh Young Shim, the story itself looks promising and I like Song Ha Yoon well enough but I'll wait for reviews before dipping my toes in.
