You know, I’ve wondered why Kim Hyun-joo seems to
have such an affinity for long weekend dramas when I can see her
headlining miniseries just as readily, but she seems to like the format,
and is eyeing another one to add to her resumé: KBS’s upcoming What’s With This Family. (Kim’s last three dramas were weekenders: Cruel Palace, Dumb Mom, and Twinkle Twinkle.)
What’s With This Family previously announced several potential castings in its younger generation, with Park Hyung-shik, Seo Kang-joon, and Nam Ji-hyun all in the mix. The drama sounds like it’ll carry all the familiar trappings of weekend family shows, which center around a large cast of characters and deal with family conflicts and relationships.
Kim Hyun-joo’s character would be the eldest daughter of a family who works as the head of a secretarial department of a large company. That means she’s got a pretty spiffy professional life, but her personal life is a lot less shiny: Thirteen years ago she suffered a crushing heartbreak, after which she eschewed all interest in marriage, men, and love, living a “dried-out life” ever since. Sounds like an interesting character with a lot of room for interpretation and growth, which would suit Kim Hyun-joo nicely—she has such a pleasing arua onscreen, with a lovely thread of sincerity in her characters. Well, when she’s not being murderous and scheming, I suppose (see: Cruel Palace).
The drama comes from writer Kang Eun-kyung of Baker King Kim Tak-gu and Gu Family Book, and will follow Wonderful Season. It’ll premiere in August.
