A fantasy romance moves on with a new lead and a major K-drama star returns in a limited thriller series in our latest round-up of casting announcements for Korean dramas.
1. A House with a Yard
Kim Tae-hee, Lim Ji-yeon and Kim Sung-oh have all lined up for the limited series A House with a Yard. Based on a novel of the same name, this family-focused suspense thriller will be eight episodes long and will be directed by Jung Ji-hyun, who recently made Twenty-Five Twenty-One, one of the year’s biggest hits.
Kim, returning to screens three years after Hi Bye, Mama!, will portray a perfect housewife who lives a perfect life in a perfect house and is the envy of everyone around her – until something happens to threaten that illusion.
Kim rose to stardom almost 20 years ago after appearing in K-drama series Stairway to Heaven and she has been a popular leading lady ever since.
