🎭 Park Bo Gum – “Night Traveler”
Park Bo Gum may return to the small screen with a powerful role in the upcoming drama “Night Traveler” – a fantasy-romance story based on the Chinese novel “Night Wanderer”. The script is written by legendary screenwriter Yoon Ji Ryun (“Boys Over Flowers,” “Move to Heaven”), raising fan expectations through the roof.
This project would follow his confirmed role in “Good Boy”, a drama set to air later this month. If he accepts “Night Traveler,” it will mark his second drama of the year and could catapult him to new international fame due to the genre's broad appeal and strong emotional themes.
🎬 Han So Hee – Korean Remake of “The Intern”
One of Korea’s most visually striking actresses, Han So Hee, is reportedly cast to lead the Korean adaptation of the Hollywood hit “The Intern.” 🎥 Originally starring Robert De Niro and Anne Hathaway, this remake will tell the story of an older man interning for a passionate young CEO – a role So Hee would portray.
Fans are excited to see how Han So Hee brings depth, charm, and a fresh cultural interpretation to this globally loved story. Veteran actor Choi Min Sik is being considered for the senior intern role, which would make this one of the year’s most high-profile actor pairings.
👻 Lee Jun Hyuk – “Awakening”
A fantasy horror drama titled “Awakening” may be Lee Jun Hyuk’s next big step into darker, more supernatural storytelling. He’s in talks to play a teacher-exorcist in a high school filled with mysterious, often terrifying incidents.
If confirmed, this role would show off Lee’s acting range and further establish him as a leading man capable of handling complex emotional and psychological roles. It also continues the trend of occult-themed K-dramas popular with both domestic and international audiences.
🌲 Seo Ye Ji – “Forest of Humans”
After a 3-year hiatus, Seo Ye Ji may return to the screen with the R-rated thriller “Forest of Humans.” This drama adapts a disturbing and provocative webtoon where serial killers are placed in a concentration camp for cruel experiments.
Her potential role could re-establish her as one of Korea’s most enigmatic and controversial actresses, tapping into psychological depth and dark suspense. The series is reportedly aimed at an OTT platform release and will likely be a hot topic upon launch.
