Updated March 17 KST:

Lee Young Ae is confirmed to return to the small screen with “Koo Kyung Yi” (literal title)!

On March 17, KeyEast officially announced that Lee Young Ae was cast in the drama.

“Koo Kyung Yi” is described as a hard-boiled investigative comedy drama that centers around the insurance investigator Koo Kyung Yi who investigates a murder case. Lee Young Ae will take on the role of Koo Kyung Yi, an intelligent woman who solves cold cases for the thrill of cracking the case rather than for bringing justice to the world. By hook or by crook, she ferociously chases the truth behind every case.

KeyEast’s CEO Park Sung Hye shared, “Actress Lee Young Ae, who moves hearts with her passionate acting in every project she takes on, has chosen this drama to make her return after careful deliberation. She is expected to capture the hearts of domestic fans and hallyu fans around the world alike with a new side she has never shown before.”

Lee Young Ae is considering a comeback with a new drama!

On January 21, it was reported by Ilgan Sports that the actress would be returning to the drama world through the show “Incredible Koo Kyung Yi” (literal title). The drama, described as an Asian version of the show “Killing Eve,” is reported to be a female-centered action chase thriller about the battle of a detective in her 40s who’s a former police officer but now an insurance investigator against a female university student who’s a serial killer.

Ilgan Sports reports that the former cop has become a recluse after the death of her husband, while the student is colorful and hip but has a dark heart. Lee Young Ae is described as up for the role of Koo Kyung Yi, who is a new type of private detective with an extraordinary brain, and she’s a natural-born homebody who wants to immediately head home for whiskey with peanuts once a case is over.

The same day, a representative from Lee Young Ae’s agency Good People Entertainment told EDaily, “She has received an offer for ‘Incredible Koo Kyung Yi’ and is considering it.” They clarified, “It is not confirmed yet.”

The drama is produced by Key East with a script written by rookie co-writer team Sung Cho Yi. It’s helmed by producing director Lee Jung Heum, who has directed dramas including “Nobody Knows” and “Distorted.”

Yey for the update. Thanks.  I've watch the works of the director and the writer. Thumbs up!

 

 I'm looking forward to this one but this says  'comedy'  in the genre. The writer and director's previous dramas far from comedy.

 

I wonder who's going to play the character below. Hmm. Who do I think is best suited for this character.  Maybe one of those Kim's or or Go Min Si or Park Si Eun

 

"() is a college student with a hip and colorful personality, but a dark soul. Her colorfulness hides the fact that she’s responsible for a series of murders."

 

 I'll keep my eye on this.

I don`t know how a drama about a serial killer could be a comedy. I guess, it is a black comedy. Let see how this version can make a good black comedy. I have not seen the British series.

 

I am also curious who will play the colleage student serial killer. From the picture above I thought Kwak Sun Young is the one playing her. But she is 38 and can`t play a colleage student. I just realised that I saw her on Hospital Playlist last year.

Recently, female epic dramas are looking for the main room in order. I thought there was only jealousy, jealousy, and fights, but now it is making viewers cry and laugh with a more diverse narrative.

 

 

JTBC's 'Melodramatic Constitution', which colored the summer of 2019 with sympathy, contains the stories of friends of the same age living in the same house. Im Jin-ju (Chun Woo-hee), Hwang Han-ju (Han Ji-eun), and Lee Eun-jung (Jeon Yeo-bin) heal their wounds and move forward for a better life, drawing deep sympathy for viewers, and among some viewers, it is considered as a 'drama of life'. She also opened a new chapter in 'women's epic drama'.

 

In the meantime, 'Women's Narrative' has mainly featured stories of women looking at each other as enemies, such as fights and jealousy, but since then, they have been able to increase empathy by containing stories about friendship and loyalty.

 

tvN's 'Mine', which recently ended, also received applause for its development that outweighed the viewers who judged only on the outside. It was a work that I thought would be just such an affair, but Seo Hee-soo (Lee Bo-young) and Jeong Seo-hyeon (Kim Seo-hyung) worked together to break through the common prejudice between East and West, and Kang Ja-kyung (Ok Ja-yeon), who was supposed to be a villain, also joined the women's journey.

 

Lee Young-ae is going to show her different comics through JTBC's 'Goo Kyung-i', which is her drama comeback after 4 years. It is a comic detective drama about a police officer who is an insurance investigator, who is all about games and alcohol, investigating a mysterious serial murder case that is completely disguised as an accident.

 

In a situation where the women's drama that escaped the 'obvious relationship' is receiving favorable reviews from viewers, more diverse narratives are expected to fill the CRT. From Son Ye-jin to Lee Young-ae, Moon So-ri, Kim Hee-ae, and the rookie Ahn Eun-jin, expectations are focused on the stories the actresses will fill.

Interview with Kim Hye-joon as Eun-ju in the movie 'Sinkhole'

 

 

 

Kim Hye-jun met with Star News online on the morning of the 5th and told various stories about the movie 'Sink Hall' (director Kim Ji-hoon).

Actress Kim Hye-jun (26) talked about Lee Young-ae, who will be working with her in her next work, the drama 'Gu Kyung-i'.

Kim Hye-jun, who is about to meet with the audience through 'Sink Hall', is currently filming her next work, the drama 'Gu Kyung-i'. 'Goo Kyung-i' is a comedy detective drama in which a police officer and insurance investigator, who is all about games and alcohol, investigates a mysterious serial murder case that is completely disguised as an accident.

 

Kim Hye-jun took on the lead role of Kei in the play. Kei is a college student with a bright smile and is a mysterious figure who can't figure out what she is. She was particularly drawn to the collaboration with actress Lee Young-ae, who is making her comeback after four years.

 

Kim Hye-jun said, "I was so surprised that we were able to film together. I didn't even think about 'I want to try acting with Lee Young-ae' for a long time. I thought, 'How dare you. There is excitement. Even now, I am excited.”

Gorgeous 'Queens' comeback to small screens, expected dramas in the second half of 2021

 

 

As K-contents gained popularity abroad, the popularity of Korean dramas is also rising. In regions such as South America and Asia, there are even dramas going backwards due to the release of the dubbed version. In the second half of this year, two months have already passed, and let's take a look at the dramas expected in the second half of 2021 that will heat up domestic small screens in the second half of 2021.

 

The drama <Gu Kyungi> is a JTBC drama that is scheduled to air from October. This drama is a comedy detective drama in which a police officer and insurance investigator, Kyeong-i (Lee Young-ae), who is all about games and alcohol, uncovers a mysterious serial murder case that is completely disguised as an accident. In addition to Lee Young-ae, who is returning after 4 years, Kim Hae-sook, Kwak Seon-young, and Kim Hye-joon appear in the drama, raising expectations.

 

Viewers are already looking forward to the news that the rare queens are making a comeback to the small screen. While a cold wind is blowing in the broadcasters due to the spread of Corona 19, I expect a warm wind to blow in the second half of this year thanks to the performances of the Queens.

First script reading for JTBC drama “Koo Kyung-Yi”

First script reading for JTBC drama series “Koo Kyung-Yi” (literal title), starring Lee Young-Ae & Kim Hye-Jun, took place May, 2021 in South Korea. The first script was attended by main cast members including Lee Young-Ae, Kim Hye-Jun, Kim Hae-Sook, Kwak Sun-Young, Baek Sung-Chul, Cho Hyun-Chul, & Lee Hong-Nae. Lee Young-Ae stated at the first script reading “After reading the script, I thought I couldn’t miss this.” 

“Koo Kyung-Yi” first airs October, 2021 in South Korea (takes over JTBC’s Saturday & Sunday 10:30 PM time slot after “Lost“).

Plot Synopsis by AsianWiki: Koo Kyung-Yi is in her 40’s. She is a former police officer, but now works as an insurance investigator and a private detective. With her smarts and excellent intuition, she is able to solve cases. Koo Kyung-Yi tries to catch a serial killer, who is a female university student.

Ko Kyung-i' Lee Young-ae's radical transformation "I'm not crazy"

 

 

The first teaser video of ‘Kyung-i’ has been unveiled.

The 15-second short teaser video contains an impactful transformation of Lee Young-ae that has never been seen before. Young-ae Lee, a ‘woman like oxygen’ that we know, has a 180-degree different look that can’t be imagined at all.

 

The video begins with a back view of a woman fighting a game in a dark and messy room. The woman clicks her light with the force of being sucked into the screen and says, “Kill them all. She kills them all,” she says. Then she reveals the woman's face, giving her a surprising twist. It's Lee Young-ae, 'Goo-gyeong-i' with her slouched shoulders and messy hair.

 

Lee Young-ae pops out of her garbage heap, heralding a transformation into a unique visual with only her face sticking out while her blanket is on her street. At the same time, the phrase “I am not a crazy person” is compared to the appearance of Lee Young-ae, who never looked ordinary in the video, and it infinitely amplifies her curiosity about what kind of person ‘Goo-kyung’ is.

 

When doubts about the unidentified 'Gu-gyeong-i' grow to the maximum, the title of 'A detective who was not in the world, Gu-kyung' strongly decorates the end with Lee Young-ae's voice saying, "Are you suspicious?"

 

The teaser video that raised her curiosity about Lee Young-ae's role, 'Gu Kyung-i', heralded Lee Young-ae's shocking transformation and her crazy passionate performance, and perfectly captured the attention of prospective viewers. From the very beginning of her life, the unusual character, Goo Gui, will make the next teaser video more awaited as to what kind of character she will be and what kind of story she will tell.
