[Seoul=RNX News] Reporter Seo-yeon Jeong = ‘Idol Idol’ Sooyoung Choi, Jae-young Kim, Jae-gwang Jung, Hee-jin Choi, Hyeon-jin Kim are causing viewers to ‘fall in love’ with a unique mystery courtroom romance.

On December 22nd (Mon) at 10 PM, the Genie TV original drama ‘Idol Idol’ (directed by Kwang-young Lee, written by Dal-in Kim, planned by KT Studio Genie, produced by AStory) will be first unveiled. It is a mystery court romance that unfolds as star lawyer Maeng Se-na, with maxed-out fan dedication, takes on the case of ‘favorite’ Do Ra-ik (played by Jae-young Kim), who is accused as a murder suspect. 

The ‘favorite’ proving his innocence romance that requires hiding intentions to reveal the truth, is expected to bring refreshing laughter and excitement. 

The drama ‘Call It Love’ and more have showcased the delicate and sensory direction of director Kwang-young Lee, who holds the megaphone, while writer Dal-in Kim, known for her fresh script writing, takes on the writing. 

Moreover, AStory, which has consistently showcased hit projects like ‘Big Mouth’, ‘Extraordinary Attorney Woo’, ‘Signal’, is producing, thereby attracting attention. 

Above all, the exciting collaboration of trusted actors, including Sooyoung Choi and Jae-young Kim, along with Jae-gwang Jung, Hee-jin Choi, Hyeon-jin Kim, is garnering hot anticipation from drama fans.

In the meantime, the released script reading site is drawing attention. First, Sooyoung Choi passionately portrayed the star lawyer ‘Maeng Se-na’ who must prove the innocence of her ‘favorite’ Do Ra-ik. 

In the drama, ‘Maeng Se-na’ is a character who only takes on criminal cases that others avoid, earning the title ‘lawyer for villains’. She secretly hides her passion as a devoted fan of the popular band ‘Gold Boys’. 

Sooyoung Choi dynamically portrayed the diverse aspects ranging from a ‘competent’ lawyer to becoming an 11-year fan ‘enthusiast’ with pure affection.

The transformation of Jae-young Kim, who perfectly immersed himself as ‘Do Ra-ik’ falling from the popular band ‘Gold Boys’ vocalist to a murder suspect, also captured attention. 

Do Ra-ik, who has a flawless ‘idol power’ from skills to personality, is a character who hides darkness behind the glamour. 

Jae-young Kim portrayed the dynamic change of ‘Do Ra-ik’, who sheds his mask after getting entangled in an unimaginable murder case, raising anticipation for renewing his career-defining character.

The character race that amplifies the genre fun is also indispensable. Jae-gwang Jung exuded presence as a lone scholarly figure from a historic legal family and a cold-hearted prosecutor ‘Kwak Byeong-gyun’. He has an unfortunate past connection with Maeng Se-na and fiercely clashes with her over the ‘Do Ra-ik’ case.

The second daughter of a conglomerate who has everything but what she truly desires, ‘Hong Hye-joo’ is played by Hee-jin Choi, adding dramatic tension. Hyeon-jin Kim transformed into Maeng Se-na’s strong ally and private investigator ‘Park Choong-jae’, adding delightful vibrancy.

‘Idol Idol’ production team stated, “From truth pursuit wavering between fan enthusiasm and suspicion, to exhilarating romance, the intensified genre thrill from the actors’ synergy is beyond expectations” while adding “The character play completed through the actors’ unique transformations is also worth looking forward to.”

Meanwhile, the Genie TV original drama ‘Idol Idol’ will be first unveiled on December 22nd (Mon) at 10 PM through KT Genie TV and channel ENA.
