MBC's new drama "From Now On, Showtime!" (working title and literal translation) confirms "Homemade Love Story" actress Jin Ki Joo to appear in the drama as the female lead, together with "Cheese In The Trap" actor Park Hae Jin.

Jin Ki Joo to Star as Mysterious Police Officer in New MBC Drama

The 33-year-old actress recently starred as an interior designer in KBS2's melodrama "Homemade Love Story," with South Korean actor and singer Lee Jang Woo.

In the same year, the actress has been cast to play a mysterious police officer in new MBC drama "From Now On, Showtime!" with Park Hae Jin.

"From Now On, Showtime!" is a fantasy romantic-comedy drama that depicts the story of a fun-loving and perky magician and a frosty, uptight female police officer.

Park Hae Jin stars as Cha Cha Woong, a charismatic magician who has the ability to see and manipulate ghosts and supernatural beings.

On the other hand, Jin Ki Joo landed the role of mysterious and frigid police officer Go Seul Hae who hides a mysterious secret and unexpectedly gets involved in a frisky situation with Cha Cha Woong.

Go Seul Hae aims to work hard and do her best to be the top police officer while taming the fun and reckless magician Cha Cha Woong.

The uniquely interesting storyline and fresh combination of actors raise expectations and anticipation for the drama series.
