JTBC's new Saturday and Sunday drama 'Hip-hope' predicts the release of 'Honey Jam' properly.
The first episode to be aired on August 12th is 'Hip-Hike', a sincere veterinarian who is able to see the past of animals and people with his psychometry ability that happened by chance in Mujin, a clean farming village without crime, and her return to Gwangsu University in Seoul. It is a comic investigative action play by an elite detective with a lot of desire who needs ability.
The 'Cudangtang' duo, who had been solving trivial life-related incidents among peaceful and naive but somewhat suspicious villagers, is swept away in a serial murder case and plans to cooperate beyond imagination. 'The Light in Your Eyes' director Kim Seok-yoon and writer Lee Nam-gyu are reuniting after 4 years and are raising expectations.
At the script reading that day, director Kim Seok-yoon, writer Lee Nam-gyu, Han Ji-min, Lee Min-ki, Suho, Joo Min-gyeong, Kim Hee-won, Park Hyuk-kwon, Park Seong-yeon, Lee Seung-jun, Park No-sik, Yang Jae-seong, Jeong Rang, and Jo Min-guk gathered in one place and performed passionately.
Han Ji-min plays Bong Ye-bun, a veterinarian who somehow got psychometry. Bong Ye-bun, who is affectionate and far-sighted, is a person who can see the past when touching the butt, whether it is a person or an animal. Han Ji-min is expected to present a laugh by skillfully portraying the dynamic changes of Bong Ye-bun, who is being caught by the hot-blooded detective Moon Mun-yeol (Lee Min-ki) and solves a mystery case.
Lee Min-ki transforms into Moon Mun-yeol, a hot-blooded detective with an extraordinary obsession with the investigation. Moon Mun-yeol, who was relegated from Gwangsudae to a rural village with no crime, struggles to return to Seoul. Another point to look forward to is Lee Min-ki's performance, which maximizes the reversal charm of Moon Mun-yeol, who gets swept away in a serial murder case while twisting Bong Ye-bun, who has a novel ability, to handle the case. In particular, it is said that Han Ji-min and Lee Min-ki's tight comic 'Tiki-taka' burst into laughter and amplified expectations.
Kim Seon-woo, who has an angelic appearance and personality, is played by actor Suho, a member of the group EXO. One day, Seon-woo Kim suddenly comes down to Mujin and starts working at a convenience store. With a kind smile, Seon-woo Kim shakes Bong Ye-bun's heart at once. Suho, perfectly synchronized with the character, is expected to infuse excitement and tension at the same time by doubling the mysterious side of Kim Seon-woo, who is kind but can hardly read his thoughts.
The people of Mujin, who are naive but somehow have a strong personality, are responsible for the elegant coordination of comic and thriller with the addition of acting veterans. Joo Min-kyung transforms into Bae Ok-hee, the owner of the strongest personal connections in Mujin. Ju Min-kyung is full of 'brain' and rugged, but her friend Bong Ye-bun adds to the fun with the perfect synchro rate with Bae Ok-hee, a loyalist who cares more than anyone else in the world.
Kim Hee-won brings laughter in the right place as 'Won Jong-mook', the head of the Mujin Police Station who wants 'clean Mujin' without violent crimes to flow safely. The iron-walled man who perfectly defends against the sticky dash of 'first love' Jung Hyeon-ok (played by Park Seong-yeon) who comes in if he is vigilant makes a big laugh. Park Jong-bae, a livelihood shaman who has fallen out of spirit, is played passionately by Park Hyuk-kwon, the face of a thousand. Her aunt Jeong Hyeon-ok, who helps her niece Bong Ye-boon run the Bong Animal Hospital, shows off her extraordinary presence as Park Seong-yeon disassembles. Although he is late, he rushes forward to bear the fruit of love with his first love, Won Jong-mook, and it is expected that his romance with Kim Hee-won, who does not know where to go, will give a smile like a grain of salt.
Lee Seung-jun completely changed his clothes with only Chaju, a caring and easy-going Mujin native member of the National Assembly. Park No-shik plays Kim Kwang-sik, an old bachelor who steals women's hearts after developing supernatural powers like Bong Ye-bun, and Yang Jae-seong plays Jung Eui-hwan, Bong Ye-bun's grandfather and former director of Jeong Animal Hospital, who has lived an upright life.
Na Mi-ran, a detective who has no quiet days because her husband is cheating on her, is played by Jung Rang-rang. Jeong-Rang vividly portrays the naturally virtuous character of Na Mi-Ran, who is as good as a professional writer as she uses police force to track down her husband. Bae Deok-hee, the youngest detective who helps Moon Mun-yeol, who is having trouble because of the unknown Mujin people, is played by Jo Min-guk, and Lee Min-ki shows slow breathing.
The production team of ‘Hip-Hop’ said, “The acting and synergy of the actors who freely come and go between comics and thrillers is the highlight.” Please look forward to the thriller.”
'Hip-like' will be broadcast for the first time at 10:30 pm on August 12, following 'King the Land'.
