A colorful first poster has splashed in for JTBC’s The Woman Who Is Different by Day and Night, with Lee Jung-eun (A Bloody Lucky Day) and Jung Eun-ji (Work Later Drink Now 2) teasing us in the tagline, asking if we know who the real her is. With production led by PD Lee Hyung-min (Showtime Begins, Strong Woman Do Bong-soon) and writer Park Ji-ha (Good Casting), the fantasy rom-com will be airing weekends following The Atypical Family on June 15.

Han Ji-min (Behind Your Touch) is reviewing an offer to star in a new series called More Beautiful Than Heaven (roughly translated). Still in the early stages, if Han accepts, this will mark her third time working with PD Kim Seok-yoon after The Light in Your Eyes and Behind Your Touch. In the meantime, we can expect to see Han Ji-min in SBS’s Acquaintances later this year. [News1]

Over on MBC, the promos continue for the upcoming black comedy Bittersweet Hell with new stills of our troubled heroine and famed psychologist Kim Hee-sun (Remarriage & Desires). With her and her family suddenly facing threats from a ~mysterious~ blackmailer, the mystery-suspense unfolds on May 24, also starring Lee Hye-young (Big Bet), Kim Nam-hee (Chicken Nugget), and Yeonwoo (Numbers).

Now that we’ve met our swindling heroes led by Song Seung-heon (Black Knight) in Player 2: Master of Swindlers, tvN reveals the new season’s baddies in the newest teaser – where I spy with my little eye the ever-delicious Lee Soo-hyuk (Tomorrow). The crime-action’s second installment begins on June 3 in the Monday-Tuesday slot. [Xports News]

Speaking of crime, SBS’s latest posters foreshadow the dark ride we’ll be taking through Connection alongside Ji Sung (Adamas), Jeon Mi-do (Thirty-Nine), Kwon Yul (Longing for You), and Kim Kyung-nam (The One and Only. Directed by PD Kim Moon-kyo (Trolley) with Lee Hyun (Diary of a Prosecutor) penning the scripts, the thriller is slated to premiere on May 24 this month. [News]
In stark contrast, the cute pink party continues on JTBC’s new poster for My Sweet Mobster, which ironically also stars the perennial prosecutor (and second lead *sob*) Kwon Yul. Ex-thug Uhm Tae-gu (Hometown) is rocking that pink bow, though, and I’m hopeful that June 12 will bring a fun rom-com story with Han Sun-hwa (Work Later, Drink Now 2) as our kids content creator heroine.

Neither of these dramas make me interested in.

I'm happy for the first role of Uhm Tae-gu, this pink accessories suit him! I wish Kwon Yul will be given the same chance one day. But sadly I'm not of big fan of Han Sun-Hwa.

I love Ji-Sung and Jeon Mi-do but the description of the characters doesn't make me excited, a drug addict, an unethical journalist...

Acquaintances is one of my anticipated dramas this year - Han Ji-min as CEO with Lee Joon-hyuk as her secretary and a single dad. Love the premise and hope it won’t disappoint.

Han Ji Min and Lee Joon Hyuk are both good looking. The gender reversal makes it interesting. I just eant to see Lee Joon Hyuk in another drama soon.

Anything with Han ji min with it, I will watch. She is one of those underrated actresses. I have been waiting for Acquaintances and I am hoping the wait and anticipation is worth it.

The writer has quite a range from daily dramas, weekenders to the recently completed Wonderful World. I honestly don’t know what to expect.

I have not watched any drama of the writer unfortunately. Most are weekend dramas that's why. I hope she surprises us a a good healing romance drama.

The woman who is different by day and night will definitely have a shorter title by the time it is released. Do you think they choose these random names for dramas like the K-drama tradition of calling the baby bump by a cute name which changes to the real name when the baby is born?
My sweet mobster is going all out on the drastic makeover.
