The star-studded cast for the upcoming tvN drama “Lady” has been confirmed.
On August 4, it was announced that Lee Ji Ah, Lee Sang Yoon, Jang Hee Jin, Park Ki Woong, and Bong Tae Gyu will be starring in the new tvN series “Lady.” The drama will be created by Kim Soon Ok, the writer of the “Penthouse” series and “The Last Empress.” She will be working with director Choi Young Hoon, whose previous works include “One the Woman.”
“Lady” tells the survival story of a woman who must become the first lady to protect her family. One day, she comes face to face with the terrible truth of the past she had completely forgotten. She will take desperate revenge against those who were responsible for what happened to her.
Lee Ji Ah is set to play Hong Tae Ra who will become the first Lady due to her husband’s presidential bid. She’s famous, wealthy, and has her husband’s love as well as a pretty daughter. She has no memory of her past. One day, those sealed memories come back.
Lee Sang Yoon takes on the role of Pyo Jae Hyun, who is Hong Tae Ra’s husband. He’s a genius developer with soft leadership and a sensible personality. He’s recognized as an entrepreneur youngsters want to be like. Politicians think he can be the next president of South Korea.
Jang Hee Jin will play the role of Go Hae Soo. She is the main anchor of YBC, the wife of Jang Do Jin (Park Ki Woong), she’s the daughter-in-law of Geumjo Group. While she might appear confident and bold, she’s scarred from her past and is unable to heal from ‘that day’ yet. She also chases after the truth.
Park Ki Woong will transform to Jang Do Jin, a competitive man who enjoys betting. He was born rich and is the management representative of the IT company Haechi. He’s also close friends with Pyo Jae Hyun.
Bong Tae Gyu play Goo Sung Chan, a hacker-like geek and the head of Haechi’s research institute. Along with Pyo Jae Hyun and Jang Do Jin they make the three musketeers since their college days. He’s obsessed with the research of smart patches, which is the company’s core technology.
“Lady” will premiere in 2023.
My personal thoughts- written by Jass K.
After the mess that was the penthouse writing, saying I am sooo wary would be an understatement. Kim Soon Ok’s writing tends to fall apart the longer she’s allowed to go on. I’ve noticed this prior to the penthouse too. She also admitted her latest drama lacked basic sense as well…. So…
The casting is amazing. For her dramas, its always been amazing. I can’t wait to see how Lee Sang Yoon handles the atmosphere of what the screenwriter will come up with. I would have never pictured him in a drama by her.
Its another revenge story… but I am surprised its not airing on SBS. It will be very interesting to see how long this drama shall be and if it will have parts like the previous one or not.
