Sung Hoon and Im Soo Hyang might reunite again in a new drama!
According to several reports on July 15th Sung Hoon was cast as the male lead for the upcoming Korean remake of Venezuela's 2002 series "Jane The Virgin." Previously, it was announced that Im Soo Hyang will take on the role of the female lead.
Sung Hoon's agency Stallion Entertainment confirmed the reports, stating that the actor is still reviewing the drama.
The Korean remake will be titled "Miss Mom Jane" and is set to be written and directed by Jeong Jeong Hwa. It will reportedly begin its filming this coming September.
"Miss Mom Jane" will revolve around Jane who promised her grandmother that she will stay as a virgin until she gets married. She suddenly became pregnant because of a doctor's mistake of performing artificial insemination during a regular checkup.
Sung Hoon was given the offer to play the role of Kim Bok Rae (also known as Raphael), the head of a plastic surgery clinic. He is currently married and had been asking for his wife for a divorce to achieve happiness.
Im Soo Hyang will reportedly play the role of Bae Ji Eun, a daily drama assistant writer. She is the daughter of a single mother who made a vow to her grandmother that she will keep her virginity until she ties the knot. Bae Ji Eun is in a relationship with a good man who understands her values.
Broadcast channel and date of "Miss Mom Jane" are still under discussion.
If Sung Hoon and Im Soo Hyang accept the offer to lead "Miss Mom Jane", this will be their reunion drama after 10 years. The two first worked as a couple in the 2011 drama "New Tales of Gisaeng" with Han Hye Rin, Kim Bo Yun, Lee Dong Joon, Lee Mae Ri, and more. "New Tales of Gisaeng" was also the debut drama of Sung Hoon and Im Soo Hyang.
Sung Hoon is currently starring in the hit TV Chosun drama "Love (ft. Marriage and Divorce) 2". Im Soo Hyang on the other hand last appeared in the 2020 drama "When I Was the Most Beautiful" with Kim Ji Soo, Ha Seok Jin, and more.
