And the chemistry for the new tvN series, "Who Are You?" just keeps getting better. Not only is the show going to star 2PM's Taecyeon and actress So E Hyun, but Kim Jae Wook will also play a part.
The show will be a paranormal romance about Si On, a woman who has a car accident. She wakes up from a coma having lost her memory but with the ability to see ghosts. She tries to convince her detective boss, Geon Woo, played by Taecyeon, to honor the ghosts' requests but he is not an easy man to convince that ghosts even exist.
It looks as if Kim Jae Wook will be the third wheel in the show's supernatural love triangle. He will be the ex who loves her but he did not break up with her. He is playing the ghost of her dead boyfriend, the one who died in the same accident that gave her second sight. That may be a kdrama first, a love triangle in which a girl has to choose between a living guy and a ghost boyfriend. The actors have started script readings together.
"Please expect us to do a great job," said So E Hyun, who recently played the deceitful social climbing wife in "Cheomdamdung Alice." "We will do our best."
Taecyeon, who starred in "Dream High" and "Cinderella's Sister," jokingly added that he is the only one that has to work very hard but that he will try his best.
Si On's ghost boyfriend will be Kim Jae Wook's first role since returning from two years of military duty. He is eager to return to acting and his fans are eager to see him, even if he is only playing a ghost.
"I was only discharged two months ago and I am really longing to get into a role again," said Kim.
As a teen, he appeared in the reality show, "Akdong Cub," about the making of an idol group. The former model had his first acting role of an indie band member in the drama "Ruler of Your Own World," played the lady-magnet waffle maker in "Coffee Prince," an heir in "Bad Guy" and a gay pastry chef with "demonic charm" in the film "Antique Bakery." He was Moon Geun Young's contracted husband in "Mary Stayed Out All Night."
With such a great cast shaping up, this drama stands more than a ghost of a chance at being a success. The series will air in July after "Dating Agency: Cyrano."
