It seems like the fallout for Joseon Exorcist hasn’t extended to the entire cast as supporting actress Lee Yoo Bi has been casting in an upcoming drama and K-netizens are actually happy about it. She’ll be joining female lead Kim Go Eun in the drama adaptation of Yumi’s Cells based on a popular webtoon. Kim Go Eun plays Yumi and Lee Yoo Bi is her friend and rival Ruby which netizens think she’s really spot on for the character. The male lead for the drama is Ahn Bo Hyun so a big promotion after he’s done multiple well received second male lead roles in the last few years. Reportedly SHINee‘s Minho will also be joining the cast in a supporting male lead role. The drama is scheduled for airing in the second half of 2021.

I kind of feel bad fo Kim Go Eun ..I think she is going to be sidelined again for this drama…and Yubi is going to be the main attention…Many people were already saying she should be the main lead instead of Kim Go Eun..
Chungmuro is the best place for KGE..but sadly due to covid ,people are more inclined to star in dramas.
There might be a lot of comments around Lee Yubi now but wait till the actual drama airs, unless it’s something like Cheese in the Trap (also KGE first drama), main leads are never sidelined for supporting characters.
Lee Yu Bi is adorable, I loved her since Goo Family book and she was awesome in A poem a day. Fingers crossed this will be good, I miss watching her in a drama.
Lee Yoobi would be great as Ruby!
