Jung Ji-so and Chae Won-bin, along with Hyun Jae-yeon, Lee Ji-hyun, Yu-e, and Seo Won, come together as the idol debut team ‘Element’.
The new KBS2 Wednesday-Thursday drama ‘Suspicious Her’ (written by Heo Seung-min, directed by Park Yong-soon), which will premiere on the 18th at 9:50 PM, tells the story of a 70-year-old grandmother, Oh Mal-soon, who suddenly transforms into a 20-year-old, Oh Du-ri, and embarks on a journey to fulfill her long-lost dreams of becoming a singer, enjoying a shining prime time in her life. This drama, a remake of the film of the same name, has garnered significant attention from prospective viewers with its expanded characters and story compared to the original.
As fans eagerly await the idol trainee lives of Jung Ji-so (as Oh Du-ri) and Chae Won-bin (as Choi Ha-na), stills featuring the two along with Hyun Jae-yeon (as Su-jin), Lee Ji-hyun (as Min-a), Yu-e (as Ola), and Seo Won (as Jay) were released today (13th), heightening expectations.
Jung Ji-so plays the role of Oh Du-ri, who transforms from a 70-year-old to a 20-year-old overnight. Determined to live a second life, Du-ri begins her trainee life at Eunice Entertainment. However, after suddenly joining the debut team, she faces conflicts with the existing trainees. It remains to be seen whether Du-ri can successfully complete her trainee life and achieve her long-held dreams as the first broadcast approaches.
Chae Won-bin portrays Choi Ha-na, who starts her trainee life at Eunice Entertainment after declaring she will give up on the college entrance exam. Defying her mother's opposition, she auditions for Eunice Entertainment and successfully becomes a trainee. As Ha-na begins preparing for debut alongside her fellow trainee Du-ri, she starts to feel concerned about Du-ri, who resembles her grandmother Mal-soon. The special synergy between Ha-na and Du-ri, who meet the younger version of Mal-soon, is raising expectations.
Hyun Jae-yeon takes on the role of Su-jin, the representative visual of the Eunice Entertainment trainees and the de facto leader of the group Element. As a long-time trainee, he has experienced being on the verge of debut only to be eliminated at the last moment. Su-jin secretly rejoices when the center trainee, Emily, disappears, but is soon taken aback when Du-ri, who lacks dance skills as an idol, takes the center position.
Lee Ji-hyun delivers a passionate performance as Min-a, the only street-cast member of the group Element. Famous on social media, he prioritizes being seen by those who can help him debut. Standing by Su-jin, who he believes is confirmed for debut, Min-a comes from a wealthy family and has an easy trainee life. It will be interesting to see how Lee Ji-hyun portrays Min-a and the diverse charms he will showcase, adding to the drama's intrigue.
Yu-e plays Ola, the only foreign member and the eldest sister of the group Element. She proudly secured first place in the Eunice Entertainment Asia Global Audition and has perfectly adapted to Korea through three years of trainee life. Occasionally using slang and classical phrases that are not typical for foreigners, she subtly enjoys the senior-junior culture in Korea. Although she felt comfortable with Emily, the only member who could communicate in English, she becomes uncomfortable with Du-ri, who suddenly starts using informal language after disappearing.
Seo Won takes on the role of Jay, the youngest member of Element. Jay was cast in a youth hip-hop competition. Although he appears laid-back on the outside, he transforms into a charismatic performer the moment he steps on stage, showcasing a charming contrast. He is also a cute character who often gets scolded for his gluttony during weight checks.
In this way, Jung Ji-so, Chae Won-bin, Hyun Jae-yeon, Lee Ji-hyun, Yu-e, and Seo Won come together as trainees at Eunice Entertainment. With the debut date approaching, it raises curiosity about whether they can understand each other and debut as a six-member girl group. Additionally, the exciting trainee life of Su-jin, Min-a, Ola, and Jay, who are thrown into chaos by the sudden arrival of Du-ri and Ha-na, stimulates viewers' expectations.
The new KBS2 Wednesday-Thursday drama ‘Suspicious Her’ is set to premiere on the 18th at 9:50 PM, following ‘Face Me’.
