Kim Kyung Nam, Jeon Hye Bin, Go Won Hee, and Lee Tae Ran Confirmed for KBS Weekend Drama Happy Other People
Weekend K-dramas remain a safe and happy place for actors and actresses, devoid of fanwars and the viewers tend to connect with 50-episode lengths like a family. The number of weekend dramas being produced has also gone down and hopefully that means more quality fare. KBS has cast its 2021 spring weekend K-drama called Other Happy People (Happy Other Family) and lined up a really excellent crew. Kim Kyung Nam is the male lead opposite female lead Jeon Hye Bin, and she’s the second sister in a three sister family and the oldest sister will be played by Lee Tae Ran and the youngest sister in college has cast Go Won Hee. The drama is from the screenwriter of Wang’s Family, Our Gab Soon, Liver or Die, and Three Brothers. Seeing Kim Kyung Nam be relaxed and hopefully goofier in a weekend role is totally worth a 50-episode commitment!
Finally!! I will watch it just for the male lead
Lee taeran is back. So excited to watch her again.
I am a little wary of the writer cause i didnt like Wang Family and Our Gabsoon.
And even though I liked Liver of Die, it was solely because of Yoo Joonsang and not the writing where they made the other characters so hard people to root for.
It’s probably a good career move since this is a guaranteed hit with that writer-timeslot combo, but the characters tend to be really aggravating. I wish Go Won-hee gets bigger and better roles after this. She’s such a delight to watch.
Oh no, Kim Kyung Nam is too good for this makjang writer. I’m sure it will be another financial makjang like her previous dramas.
And Go Won Hee, I like her in Strongest Deliveryman and Perfume. It’s a shame that she will be the youngest sister (read: parasite sister) here.
