The strong positive reaction to K-actress Han So Hee‘s headlining Netflix revenge action drama My Name absolutely validates now her rise to among the top of the casting food chain for roles in her age group in record time. K-ent has brushed aside the underwhelming reception to jTBC romance Nevertheless as outside of her control while seeing the good reviews for My Name as indicator that she’s genuinely bankable. She’s now been cast as the female lead for a 4-episode musical romance drama airing in 2022 from the PD of Vincenzo and the screenwriter of Sunbae, Please Don’t Put on that Lipstick. It’s the story of two opposite gender long time friends of twenty years who has to cohabit in under the same roof for two weeks and end up discovering their romantic feelings for each other. Yup, definitely a K-drama romance for sure. The musical element is the fresh one, I guess it means she’s singing so that will be a stretch of her ability for sure. I’m guessing the casting call is out for a K-actor who can act and sing, so someone with musical theater background and will be engaging onscreen as a male lead viewers can root for to get the girl. Four episodes also sounds cool, like all the filler will be removed and viewers will get only the good stuff.

Didn't know she could sing. Okay, I'm excited. She's definitely a talented actress, and I finally understood the beauty people saw in her. She's not very photogenic, so before actually watching her works, I didn't understand when people called her pretty. The filming favors her more.
A lyricist character doesn't need to sing. Koala left out crucial info unlike soompi article who correctly reported on the female lead role. leading all the commenters here to question whether hsh can sing. it's irrelevant. lots if singers pay lyricist/composers to write songs for them.
Yup, koala as usual is twisting the tone & withholding facts to undermine hsh just like the ksh scandal post.
you're right. according to soompi. drama's emphasis is more of the music making process not characters having to sing in concerts or perform in musicals. we'll see who's right or wrong. there's always the koala's version of plotline and the official version.
I'm impressed by HSH's eagerness to stretch her acting, and she's smart to be doing it early in her career before she gets typecast.
The Vincenzo director is the hottest director in town rn.
The PD is good but the screenwriter is meh.
I like Han So Hee. She seems genuine and she works hard.
She was pretty good in "My Name". For male lead, what about Lee Sang Yi? He can sing and act given his musical theater background.
I didn't specially like her in My Name.
But I really liked Vincenzo and She Would Never Know. So I guess, why not. I wonder who they will choose for the ML.
I like her choice of projects, she seems to have a clear vision for her career. I'll probably check out this next project.
She could easily sign flowerpot roles and do nothing there, but being a prop to male lead. But she is building filmography where her roles are author backed. She has beauty of Goddess but focused on career and she is cf queen too. She is going places .
Also hsh is getting the best projects out of 90s gen actresses now. And she really turned it around since wom. Refusing movie. Another big drama lined up ( kim tae ri is at top )
This girl has changed the game big time and blew away competition. And best thing she doesnt relies on her beauty as her best tool. But acting chops
Thumbs up for the director but I don't know about that writer. Sunbae Please Don't Put on That Lipstick drama was so bad.
I hope this being a musical doesn't mean they will cast an idol as male lead.
Based on her current career trajectory, a super smart move for HSH. I vote for SIG to be the male lead a long-time fan, not a teen shipper here, lol). Seen him since 2009 in Superstar K. He's a singer, writes his own songs and can act as well. They are both from Ulsan. Them swearing & cursing each other would be a delight if that part is written in. Reminds me of Yoon Jae going full satoori with Shi Won in Reply 97. The HSH-SIG chemistry would be interesting to watch. Having only 4 episodes would lessen sloppy writing, heighten interest and potential for season 2 to have different actors/actresses brought in. I'm totally invested in this project. Do something different Netflix style.
