[Seoul=RNX News] Reporter Seoyeon Jeong = ‘Precious My Star’ Lee El transforms into a top star with full of determination.

The Genie TV original drama ‘Precious My Star’ (Directed by Choi Young-hoon, Written by Park Ji-ha, Planned by KT Studio Genie, Produced by Jumbo Film) is first revealing the character stills of ‘Go Hee-young’ (played by Lee El) with an intriguing and haughty charm on August 18th (Monday) at 10 PM.

‘Precious My Star’ is a tear-jerking romantic comedy about South Korea’s top star who suddenly becomes an ordinary middle-aged woman.

The comeback show of a career break top star ‘Bong Cheong-ja(=Im Se-ra)’(played by Uhm Jung-hwa) who abruptly covers 25 years, and Detective ‘Dokgo Cheol’(played by Song Seung-heon)’s journey, brings delightful laughter and empathy, creating excitement.

Director Choi Young-hoon, known for stylish direction through ‘One the Woman’ and ‘Good Casting’, and writer Park Ji-ha, who elicited public empathy with ‘A Girl of Different Days and Nights’, join forces.

The creative team’s reunion, who showcased their proven skills in ‘Good Casting’, raises much anticipation, also drawing attention to Uhm Jung-hwa and Song Seung-heon’s reunion after 10 years since ‘Miss Wife’. Furthermore, the addition of Lee El and Oh Dae-hwan, expected to add the final touch to the drama’s quality, excites the fans.

Meanwhile, the character stills of top star ‘Go Hee-young’ raise expectations. 

Go Hee-young was a ‘perennial supporting role’ who had to swallow bitter tears hidden under Im Se-ra’s shadow. But after Im Se-ra’s sudden disappearance, she seized the opportunity and rose to become a global star. The aura of Go Hee-young in her intense red dress during the photo shoot captures eyes as the epitome of a top star.

The follow-up photo reveals Go Hee-young’s anger, hinting at the changes occurring to her who was on a winning streak. 

She sharpened her claws at the emergence of Bong Cheong-ja, who claims to be ‘Im Se-ra’ who disappeared 25 years ago. Go Hee-young, who enjoyed all the glory in place of Im Se-ra, was always anxious of losing her position.

Instead of her arrogant and relaxed smile, the filled determination evokes curiosity about her hidden past. Attention gathers on how ‘Career Break Top Star’ Bong Cheong-ja’s comeback show will act as a variable for Go Hee-young.

Lee El stated, “It’s a cute comedy that I haven’t seen in a long time. Most importantly, meeting senior Uhm Jung-hwa felt attractive” as she explained her reason for choosing the work. 

Further commenting on the character Go Hee-young, “Though overly ambitious, her determination to go all out and achieve success ultimately seems to be her charm,” raising anticipation.

Meanwhile, Genie TV original drama ‘Precious My Star’ will first air on August 18th (Monday) at 10 PM on channel ENA, and will be exclusively available for free VOD on KT Genie TV right after the main broadcast every Monday and Tuesday night at 10 PM.
