Netizens Psyched As K-Drama Confirms Casting Of Two Legendary Visuals In Lead Roles

The recent confirmation reports of two legendary actors, widely known for their excellent visuals, have sparked a frenzy among Korean netizens.

On November 12, KST, JTBC confirmed the casting of its two lead actors for its upcoming K-Drama, Human x Gumiho (literal translation of the Korean title). It is said to be a fantasy rom-com that will follow the central character of a Gumiho, who crosses paths with a human being who is destined to attract mythical creatures.

The first lead actor confirmed for the K-Drama is Jun Ji Hyun, who will portray Gu Ja Hong, a top actress who bewitches people with her acting skills and exceptional beauty. Beneath this identity lies the truth— Gu Ja Hong is actually a Gumiho. Thanks to her tendency to manipulate human beings, she is riddled with scandals.

The second lead actor is Ji Chang Wook, who will step into the role of Choi Seok, a gifted shaman and the director of Osung Museum. Though he appears to be an easy-going and lighthearted person, he possesses the ability to see and sense the darker sides of the world. While Gu Ja Hong has no problem enchanting human beings with her mythical abilities, her powers prove useless in front of Choi Seok.

The news has sparked enthusiastic reactions from netizens who are beyond excited to witness these two actors in a romcom.

• “Daebak! Jun Ji Hyun suits the role so much! Ji Chang Wook as shaman would be unique. I think their chemistry will be amazing.”
• “So excited for this.”
• “It already sounds fun.”
• “Wow, Jun Ji Hyun as a Gumiho!”
• “Ji Chang Wook is a museum director but also a shaman…I’m looking forward to it.”
• “I’m so looking forward to this.”
