Casting is almost complete for the upcoming drama 'Twenty Again." The latest addition to the cast is A Pink's Son Na Eun, who was last seen in the drama "Childless Comfort."
On July 20, Son Na Eun's agency, Cube Entertainment, confirmed her participation.
"Son Na Eun has been cast in the drama 'Twenty Again. Her appearance has been confirmed."
Son Na Eun will play the character Oh Hye Mi. That means she will be a classmate of Ha Ro Na, the character played by actress Choi Ji Woo. Ha Ro Na wanted to be a dancer but married and had a child at age 19. She put her dreams aside to raise her family. When her child enrolls in college, she figures it is time to get her life back on track and enrolls in school herself.
Ha No Ra has to study hard to make up for the 20-year-gap in her education and she will also have to face many new experiences. Socializing with her much-younger fellow students will be a challenge. Not only will Ha No Ra and Oh Hye Mi be classmates but Oh Hye Mi is also Ha No Ra's son's girlfriend.
Kim Min Jae, who appeared in "The Producers" and "Persevere Goo Hae Ra," plays Ha No Ra's son Kim Min Soo. Kim Min Soo is used to having a full-time mom with no pressing plans or dreams of her own. Not only will he have to do more for himself once his mom returns to school but he will also have to deal with his mom being a fellow student.
Lee Sang Yoon will play Cha Hyun Suk. Cha is a colleague of Ha Ro Na's husband, who is also a professor. He's also Ha Ro Na's first love, the person she loved in high school. The role of Ha Ro Na's husband has not yet been cast.
The drama will be a reunion of sorts for two of the actors and the director Kim Hyun Sik. Choi Ji Woo. Last seen in "Temptation," worked with the director in "The Suspicious Housekeeper." Lee Sang Yoon, last seen in "The Liar Game," worked with him in the weekend drama "My Daughter Seo Young."
So Hyun Kyung, who wrote the thriller "Two Weeks," "My Daughter Seo Young," "Prosecutor Princess" and "49 Days" will write the screenplay.
The weekend drama begins filming in July and is expected to premiere in August after the end of "Oh My Ghost."
