Drama 'Human X Gumiho (tentative story)' (directed by Im Echo, Jungsik Kim)', which is broadcast on JTBC and is scheduled to be streamed worldwide through Amazon Prime Video, is an unknown (x) fantasy romantic comedy in which humans attract desired beings and attracting material face each other at the intersection of fate. Director Jungsik Kim, who was acclaimed for his performance of 'I don't want to lose money' and 'Strong Woman Kang Nam-soon' came to my door one day.' Writer Im Echo, who created many people's 'Life Rocco' with 'Beauty Inside', is drawing keen attention.
Above all, the meeting between Jeon Ji-hyun and Ji Chang-wook, who returned as a romantic comedy after a long time, raises excitement. The two actors, who need no explanation, are expected to meet different characters and complete a fantasy-like romance.
First, Jun Ji-hyun is a top actor who attracts people with his outstanding acting skills and beautiful visuals, and plays the 2,000-year-old Gumiho 'Gu Ja-hong'. Koo Ja-hong is a person who drives a great scandal as he is born with a talent to attract people. One day, he met Choi Seok (played by Ji Chang-wook), the only human being whose ability does not work, who was not able to control humans with mysterious and powerful abilities. Koo Ja-hong simultaneously burns his fighting power and interest in front of an ominous man who incapacitates him. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is the root of Rocco, but it stimulates expectations on how Jun Ji-hyun will draw the unique and fascinating 'Gu Ja-hong'.
Ji Chang-wook transforms into a Yonghan shaman and director of the Five Star Museum 'Choi Seok'. Choi Seok, who looks light and cheerful in everything, actually has a special ability to see and feel the harsh things in the world. He faces upheaval as he begins to feel an unknown interest in the Gumiho, which invades his territory at will. I wonder how Ji Chang-wook, an actor who has mastered all different genres and has shown extraordinary performances in the romance genre, will attract viewers in 'Human X Gumiho (Gaje).' Expectations are high for a different fantasy romantic comedy to be completed by Jeon Ji-hyun, Ji Chang-wook and the producers of 「Roco Master」, which is melted into an attractive concept.
Meanwhile, 'Human X Gumiho (tentative title)' will be broadcast on JTBC and will be released to viewers around the world through Amazon Prime.
