abs-oluteM Posted December 12, 2020 Share Posted December 12, 2020 I was pretty excited when Shin Hyun Been got casted alongside an established actress like Ko Hyung Jung. SHB has been getting a lot of attention ever since Hospital Playlist, and so it was nice to see her being offered this lead role. From what I understand the drama will have the women front & center in its plot. But my excitement definitely increased 10 fold when handsome Kim Jae Young was casted as the male lead. How interesting that this will be his second female-centric drama after Secret Boutique. Synopsis here by AsianWiki: Hee-Joo (Ko Hyun Jung) had a poor and fierce time during her youthful days. She is now a successful painter and essayist. Her husband is the successor of a hospital and they have two children. Her family life seems enviable, but Hee-Joo feels like she spends her time meaninglessly. At that time, Hee-Joo meets a woman. The woman is poor, just like Hee-Joo in her younger days, but she still shines. Oh my...do I smell affair, betrayal and revenge? For the record, this writer wrote Just Between Lovers ( Rain or Shine ) which was quite a hit then. I read it was a good melodrama , so I hope she does her magic here as well.

abs-oluteM Posted December 15, 2020 Author Share Posted December 15, 2020 Handsome's confirmation Source Kim Jae Young confirmed his appearance in the new drama A Person Similar To You (literal title). JTBC’s A Person Similar To You, scheduled to premiere next year, tells the story of a woman who was faithful to her desires and another woman who lost the light of her life after meeting her. Earlier, Shin Hyun Bin and Go Hyun Jung have been cast to take the lead roles. Kim Jae Young plays sculptor Seo Woo Jae. He followed in the footsteps of his father, who was a genius sculptor, and became a sculptor, but his handsome appearance is always a bigger topic than his sculptures. He is always anxious because he thinks he doesn’t have the same talent as his father and is a lonely character who lives as a free soul to hide his anxiety. (In some Korean articles it was mentioned that he tends to stimulate maternal love in women ) Kim Jae Young showed solid performances in various projects, including My Secret Romance, 100 Days My Prince, Eun Joo’s Room and Beautiful Love, Wonderful Life. The production team said, “Please look forward to seeing a new side of Kim Jae Young, who mostly played polite and kind characters, playing a free-spirited artist Seo Woo Jae.” 1 1 Mon-Tues: My Lovely Boxer Wed-Thurs: Worst of Evil, The Day Fri-Sat: My Dearest (Part 2 - 13 Oct!)

Still, I prefer not to cry if I can help it... So, I guess I'll be waiting for this drama cautiously? I'm sure it will have some sad scenes in it, for sure. It's just a matter of whether the ending is also sad, or whether it becomes redemptive and healing. 2 Link to comment
Tofu Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 @stroppyse @Mizv Yay!! I'm glad you'll both be watching with us! I was beginning to think it'll just be @abs-oluteM and me. I'm assuming it'll be around the fall/winter that this will air. JTBC has lots of dramas on queue. The amount of dramas with JTBC as the broadcasting station is insane. 1 1 Link to comment
