Ryeoun asks Go Hyun-jung to “buy him” in Namib

by Jenzy

In the second teaser for ENA’s idol-underdog drama Namib, we are given a glimpse into the life of our ousted top producer Go Hyun-jung (Mask Girl) and her ray of hope Ryeoun (Twinkling Watermelon).

We open on Kang Soo-hyun (Go Hyun-jung), a star producer with a knack for discovering and developing talent. She’s super busy and super good at her job, but you can tell she’s coasting by, having lost her love of the work. But all that comes to a halt when her company, Pandora Entertainment, decides to suddenly fire her in an internal meeting.

We then cut to Yoo Jin-woo (Ryeoun), an Pandora idol trainee equally at the end of his rope. While talented, higher-ups have decided he’s not cut out for a debut.

With our two leads without a clear future, they decide to take matters into their own hands. Soo-hyun decides she’s not going down without a fight and starts scouting for someone she can manage on her own. Meanwhile, Jin-woo has taken to busking on the streets, which is where Soo-hyun finds him.

While he might have talent, Soo-hyun isn’t about to take a risk on just anybody. After all, this may be her only shot back into the industry. She shuts Ryeoun down with a “I need someone who’s going to make money.” To which he responds with mega-hot confidence, “Buy me then.” Omo omo!

Soo-hyun decides Yoo Jin-woo is now in her boat sink or swim, and as the two chase their dreams, they’ll rediscover their love of music and become like the drama’s name: a special place where someone as dry as the desert (Soo-hyun) meets with someone with dreams as big as the ocean (Jin-woo).

Written by Eom Sung-min (Default) and directed by Han Sang-jae (Cold Blooded Intern) and Kang Min-goo, ENA’s Namib is set to premiere December 23.

This looks interesting and if it remains focused on the mentor-rising star dynamic, it should be good entertainment.

Hopefully it won't end up being a romance. I want to see these two scrappy underdogs work together to win and be equal work partners.

If the writing is good, Writer-Nim will ratchet up the tension as we watch both mentor and trainee go after their goals while smashing through obstacle after obstacle in their way.

Really good underdog stories always make sure the protagonist EARNS their victories and they win BIG!
