Jo Bo Ah In Talks To Replace Lee Chung Ah In New Drama After Car Accident
Jo Bo Ah may be taking over Lee Chung Ah’s role in the upcoming drama “The Obedient Killer” (literal translation).
On October 2, Jo Bo Ah’s agency clarified reports that the actress had been cast as Lee Chung Ah’s replacement by stating, “Jo Bo Ah recently received a casting offer for ‘The Obeident Killer.’ She is currently reviewing the offer.”
Set in the 1970s and 1980s, “The Obedient Killer” tells the story of a woman whose only goal in life was to become a devoted wife and mother. However, after her divorce, she takes an unexpected job in order to make ends meet.
Jo Bo Ah has been offered the role of Lee Hwa Ra, who goes by the code name “Miss Lee.” While Lee Chung Ah was originally cast in the role, she had to step down partway through filming due to a car accident that reportedly aggravated a pre-existing back condition, making it difficult for her to handle the drama’s numerous action scenes.

“kiDnap GAME” Director Talks Lee Joon Gi And Sakaguchi Kentaro’s Chemistry And The Drama’s Deadly Game
The director of the upcoming drama “kiDnap GAME” has shared more insights into the series.
“kiDnap GAME” is a thriller centered on an unprecedented kidnapping case that unfolds simultaneously across seven Asian cities—Seoul, Tokyo, Taipei, Singapore, Bangkok, Naha, and Manila. The story follows seven individuals who are each given different missions and forced into a deadly survival game, where they must complete their assignments before anyone else in order to save their loved ones and survive.
Ahead of the drama’s premiere, director Yusuke Kato, who helmed the series, personally introduced the project, from its starting point to the chemistry between its two leads.
Director Yusuke Kato explained, “Kidnappings occur simultaneously in seven Asian cities, and mysterious messages are sent to the victims’ families, marking the beginning of a brutal survival game.” He continued, “The question of ‘How far would you go to save someone you love?’ runs throughout the entire series.”
The choices made by the participants are also a key element that drives the story. Director Yusuke Kato explained that even seemingly insignificant choices can lead to irreversible consequences in unexpected ways, adding that the series captures the choices and beliefs of people pushed into extreme situations.
He also expressed satisfaction with Sakaguchi Kentaro and Lee Joon Gi’s chemistry. “Their chemistry was excellent,” he said. “Both actors genuinely care about the set and have an incredible passion for acting, so they openly exchanged ideas and shared positive energy with each other.”
He added, “Because the two of them worked well together and enjoyed immersing themselves in their roles, their incredible emotional scenes and the intense tension between them came through on screen.”
Another defining feature of the series is that its story unfolds simultaneously across different Asian cities, from Seoul and Tokyo to Taipei, Singapore, Bangkok, Naha, and Manila. A key point to watch will be how the kidnapping cases occurring in different locations are ultimately connected as part of a single game.
Director Yusuke Kato said, “As the series progresses, the answers to who designed this brutal game, what its true purpose is, and whether the choices made by the participants were actually the right ones will gradually be revealed.”
“kiDnap GAME” will premiere on October 6 at 10 p.m. KST.

Seo Kang Jun Talks About “A Love Other Than Yours,” Aspirations For His Acting Career, And More
Seo Kang Jun recently sat down with ELLE Korea to discuss his currently airing drama “A Love Other Than Yours”!
KBS 2TV’s “A Love Other Than Yours” is a realistic romance drama that follows a couple in their 10th year of dating as they experience unexpected emotional changes in a relationship that once felt familiar. Seo Kang Jun stars as Namgoong Ho, a corporate employee who would do anything for his longtime girlfriend Lee Mi Do (Ahn Eun Jin).
When asked how he felt after wrapping up filming, he remarked, “I exhausted myself quite a bit trying to fully understand Namgoong Ho and Mi Do’s hearts and states of mind, in addition to expressing the emotions that stemmed from them.” He continued, “I’m currently experiencing a kind of exhaustion that comes after pouring out all the emotions inside me.”
About his character Namgoong Ho, Seo Kang Jun shared his own interpretation of the character by explaining, “I wanted him to be someone who seems very put-together, respects boundaries, and is diligent, but is also an anxious person living an unstable life.”
When asked about the questions the drama raises about love and relationships, he remarked, “I believe I have to stand firmly on my own feet in order to love someone properly. Sacrificing yourself for someone is one of the many ways of loving, but the prerequisite is fully maintaining your own life. Your partner should not become the reason for your life.”
Seo Kang Jun, who focuses on building his life one step at a time rather than setting clear-cut life goals, was asked about the emptiness that follows small moments of happiness. He replied, “Emptiness is a precious opportunity that allows me to face my true self.” He added, “Among the elements that make a long life meaningful, there are not only positive emotions, but also solitude, emptiness, and loneliness.” Referring to Hermann Hesse’s novel “Siddhartha,” he revealed how delving into his inner self and exploring who he is are also closely connected to his life as an actor.
He also openly shared his aspirations for his acting career. “I want to push beyond my current limits when it comes to expression,” Seo Kang Jun shared, talking about the next stage he hopes to reach as an actor. “At the same time, I want to have the courage to scale back my expressions—to bring my emotions further inward so they can be conveyed without necessarily being shown, and to deliver performances that aren’t superficial.”
Seo Kang Jun’s full pictorial and interview can be found in the October issue of ELLE Korea.

Ji Chang Wook Talks About His Recent Drama “The Scandal,” What Acting Means To Him, And More
Actor Ji Chang Wook recently sat down with ELLE Korea to discuss his recent drama “The Scandal”!
Based on the 2003 film “Untold Scandal,” “The Scandal” depicts the daring and dangerous love game between Lady Cho (Son Ye Jin), a woman whose exceptional talents far exceed the confines of the women’s quarters, and Cho Won (Ji Chang Wook), the greatest playboy of Joseon. Their risky wager ensnares another woman, Hui Yeon (Nana), who becomes entangled in their escalating deception. The series tells a story steeped in forbidden love and irresistible seduction in an era when such passions were not permitted.
Discussing the process of developing his character Cho Won, Ji Chang Wook shared, “I tried not to deliberately exaggerate or add to his qualities as a playboy. Instead, I wanted them to be naturally reflected in his attitude and actions. Cho Won is a complex and challenging man. Since he is a character whose true feelings remain a mystery until the very end, it was quite fun to portray him, but there were also quite a few difficult aspects. I had many conversations with director Jung Ji Woo to bring the character of Cho Won to life.”
When asked about the similarities between himself and Cho Won, he shared, “Inevitably, since I am the one portraying the character, a little bit of Ji Chang Wook is bound to be reflected in the character as I portray him.”
He also discussed the scenes in which he faces off with Lady Cho. He remarked, “There isn’t a single scene in which Lady Cho and Cho Won encounter each other that isn’t breathtaking. Every moment is packed. We always put a lot of effort into rehearsals, and I think viewers will be able to fully feel the tension between the two, which has been meticulously portrayed.”
Ji Chang Wook, who has continuously reinvented himself through his performances in a variety of genres, was asked what acting means to him. He remarked, “It’s getting harder and harder. That’s because it’s not easy to define in a single phrase. That’s why I always try to rely heavily on the help of my colleagues, from the director to the cinematography, lighting, costumes, and makeup—even the look of the space I’m standing in. I always strive to act across various genres, but that doesn’t mean I can become a completely different person. In the end, acting is a job where you receive help from people. I’ve often thought that perhaps an actor’s skill lies in how well they make use of that help.”
He continued, “The moments when I feel the greatest thrill while acting are also, without exception, when I communicate well with my colleagues and team members. When we create a great scene that way and I see everyone happy about it, that’s when I enjoy my work the most.”
Talking about his daily life, Ji Chang Wook shared, “Honestly, my daily life these days is quite boring and repetitive. Sometimes it even feels uninteresting. Even so, the fortunate thing is that the career I chose is still incredibly fun for me. I want to continue moving steadily toward the standards I’ve set for myself.”
Ji Chang Wook’s full pictorial and interview can be found in the October issue of ELLE Korea.

Cha Woo Min In Talks + Jang Da A Reported For New Romance Drama
Cha Woo Min and Jang Da A may be starring in a new romance drama together!
On September 16, MyDaily reported that Jang Da A and Cha Woo Min have been cast as the leads of the upcoming JTBC drama “50 Days of Situationship” (literal title).
In response to the report, Cha Woo Min’s agency commented, “‘50 Days of Situationship’ is a project he is currently reviewing. Nothing has been confirmed.” Jang Da A’s agency has yet to respond to the report.
“50 Days of Situationship” is a limited-time office romance about an unremarkable 29-year-old intern who accidentally obtains a mysterious potion that causes her coworkers to fall for her for exactly 50 days.
Jang Da A has reportedly been offered the role of Go Dok Hee, a sales intern at the Hongdae branch of Shinsegi Digital. With her perpetually gloomy expression and anxious eyes, she is a walking symbol of bad luck who is constantly worried that something terrible might happen. One day, after drinking heavily out of frustration, she climbs onto a bridge over the Han River, where a mysterious elderly person appears and hands her a drink that supposedly makes anyone who consumes it fall in love with her for 50 days. And so begins her magical 50-day journey.
Cha Woo Min has been offered the role of Choi Geon Guk, an assistant manager at the same company. Handsome, intelligent, capable, and brimming with confidence, he is normally cold and prickly, seemingly impossible to faze. However, the moment a customer walks in, he transforms into a shameless charmer, using his over-the-top sales tactics to close deals with ease and earning him the title of the company’s “top salesperson.”
The drama will consist of eight episodes and is scheduled to air on JTBC. Stay tuned for more updates!
