KBS has released the first teaser for its upcoming fantasy comedy Who is She (previously named Miss Granny). The show stars Kim Hae-sook (Mr. Plankton) as Granny Oh Mal-soon who magically transforms one day into her younger self, portrayed by Jung Ji-so (The Glory Part 2).

Despite her older age, Mal-soon once had dreams of becoming a singer and still does as the teaser opens to her standing in front of a microphone for an audition. She argues that growing old is not a crime and complains about her voice not sounding like it once did in the past. All of a sudden, as Mal-soon enjoys a bowl of soup, the 80-year-old lady turns into a woman in her twenties.

While younger Mal-soon asks someone if she looks like a grandma or a young lady, she jumps in the streets and stretches at the sauna, clearly enjoying the benefits of a youthful body. However, on the inside, she is still the same curly-haired grandma as displayed by younger Mal-soon’s fashion choices and mannerisms.

Our peculiar heroine catches the attention of music producer Daniel Han, played by Jinyoung (Sweet Home 3), and he tells her to live as the person he has been looking for. She only has three months until the idol group’s debut, but Daniel has complete faith in her to meet his expectations. Whether this new reality is a dream or a curse, Mal-soon decides to look on the bright side and accepts her second chance at life under a new name, Oh Doo-ri. Will this granny-turned-miss live out her dreams or will the curtains fall before she takes the stage?

Directed by PD Park Yong-soon (Secret Mother) with scripts written by Heo Seung-min (Risky Romance), KBS’s drama remake of the hit movie Miss Granny is slated for twelve episodes and premieres December 18 in the Wednesday-Thursday slot.
