Kim Soo Hyun Considering K-drama Comeback with tvN Fantasy Romance I’m a Psycho But It’s Okay

Okay, the drama title sounds stupid upon first impression but goodness who cares if this really ends up being Kim Soo Hyun‘s drama return after military service and 5 years after Producers. K-ent is reporting that Kim Soo Hyun has been offered the male lead and is seriously considering the offer for tvN drama I’m a Psycho But It’s Okay. Despite the psycho in the title, it’s a fantasy-tinged romance and Kim Soo Hyun plays an employee of a mental hospital working there for the high salary. He plays almost a guy who has it all, looks, smarts, personality, it’s almost like god unfairly gave him everything but he lives with and has to take care of his autistic older brother. The female lead is a children’s book writer with antisocial personality disorder and the two meet and fall in love. The drama is from the PD of Incarnation of Jealousy and Encounter (Boyfriend) with the script from the screenwriter of Jugglers.

  • Can I know if the Juggler is good? I heard all the director and screenwriter are not well known and Juggler got low rating. Please make this is a good move for kim soo hyun comeback after 5 years.

    • I think it was the highest rated drama of its time slot? Not really a hit but not a total flop either.

      • Oh really? Thanks for the info. Because I heard this writer also write hyde jekyll and me so i am a bit worried. I hope he can pass this project and chose other writer for his comeback

      • Hyde? Uh if that is the case Kim Soo-hyun better run. Hyde almost ruined HB and HJM's career and KSH can't afford another flop after Real.

      • The writer for this drama is Jo Yong. Writer for Hyde Jekyll Me is Kim Ji-woon so I think they are two different people. If its really the writer for Hyde, then Kim Soohyun should decline this drama at all cost.

    • Thinking the same too. She's a chemistry magnet and with Kim Soo Hyun's popularity this would be a hit for both. I really hope that he accepts and she gets offered this. It's almost been a year already since her last drama and almost all of the top actresses already have their dramas in place. It'd be a waste if she didn't get this. And it's going to be a reunion for both of them.

  • Seriously I hope he will turn this down. KSH should have better offers than just this one. Plot sounds stupid. Mental issue is a sensitive topic and can backfire if not done well. Who makes high salary in a mental hospital except the CEO? Definitely not any usual health care workers... An antisocial children's book writer? Who will be casted as the female lead? I think the PD is ok but the writer is weak.

  • There's not enough good writers these days. I actually want his comeback drama with shinwonho pd. But I think this drama not that bad, the title sound stupid but the story sound interisting. I get a feeling he will end up become pshyco. Just take it, baby!

  • Tvn has already announced some 10 dramas for 2020 first half but where do they plan to fit it all? And where is Kim Tae Hee's comeback article?

  • TvN had a pretty bad year this year with almost all their dramas getting very poor ratings. He can do better.

    • Hotel Del Luna and The Crowned Clown did great this year in TvN. What are you talking about? Poor ratings are with those dramas with weak plots!!

      • HDL and CC are only 2 drama out of the 40 they aired this year that had decent ratings. I'm with Lisa the track record for TVN has been shitty in 2019. They just keep throwing big budgets and big named actors expecting people to gobble it up but that ain't it.

      • @boo2 Ratings have been low across all channels, both public and cable this year aside from a few exceptions. I'd say for tvN, MoA, HDL, and TCC hitting >10% is more than just "decent" but a huge feat already in this current ratings' climate sadly.

      • @boo2 - list out all 2019 kdramas with >10% ratings and their airing channels before you claim TvN is shitty.

    • MOA and Encounter are 2018 dramas not this year why do people keep calling them 2019 dramas? They both had lower than expected ratings just like AC. Public channel ratings have gotten better recently actually Some dramas even came close to 15% ratings which is much better than last year. Both JTBC and TVN are having a not great year but overall Kdrama has lost its touch. Things have just spiraled downwards but who knows maybe now that the real Hallyu stars are back things might change.

      • Probably because it ended in 2019, so technically it's 2018-2019 drama. Just like how most articles and blogs list SKY Castle as this year's's highest-rated cable drama (and all-time of course), otherwise it would be HDL.

  • I don't know. This drama sounds dubious to me. PD is okay but the writer is a total newbie. Maybe KSH's star power and acting will make this work.

    • On DC, there are rumors of Yoona, Nam Ji Hyun, Park Bo Young, Go Ara, and Kang Sora being considered as FL. I hope it's Nam Ji Hyun!!!

      • Either woman would be great, but I'm a Nam Jihyun fan so I'm rooting for her. They're friends in real life, so it be nice to see them work together again after "It Will Snow for Christmas."

      • With a name as big as Kim Soo Hyun's, and with this being his comeback drama, I hope he gets some say in who his co-star will be. He should at least be satisfied with the choice in co-stars before signing on. Anticipated dramas from favorite actors have been hurt by production companies and/or networks choosing weak co-stars for these actors. I'm hoping if he does this project, he can snatch Kim Tae Ri. She already has a nation's hit on tvN with 'Mr. Sunshine' plus global recognition for her work in the film 'The Handmaiden'. Casting her would give the drama two strong leads. Plus given the title of this drama, it looks like a vehicle for the female lead rather than the male lead.

        Kim Soo Hyun has never starred in a tvN drama, but with his recent cameo in 'Hotel De Luna' it's like he's teasing his possible comeback on that network. The plot isn't really calling me so I hope it's written, directed, and cast very well if drama marks Kim Soo Hyun's return.

      • Neither of these woman are equal to his star power. They don't deserve him..Don't ruin this like Melt Me. Kim Tae Ri is the right person for this drama. Star power and acting talent. That is the only combination worthy of a Hallyu Star.
