Kim So Hyun and NU'EST's Hwang Min Hyun will possibly team up for the upcoming drama "Useless Lies."

On September 21st, several media outlets reported that Kim So Hyun and Hwang Min Hyun will be the main leads of the upcoming mystery romance comedy drama "Useless Lies." 

Hwang Min Hyun's agency Pledis Entertainment responded to the casting reports. According to the agency, the idol-actor is positively reviewing the offer to star in "Useless Lies." Meanwhile, Kim So Hyun's side hasn't responded to the casting news. 

"Useless Lies" will be about a woman who can hear lies and a man who refuses to lie. The series will be the next project of director Nam Sung Woo ("Love in Contract," "My Roommate Is a Gumiho," and "Kkondae Intern.")

Hwang Min Hyun got the offer to play the role of Kim Do Ha, the best composer, and producer in Korea. He is more known for his name Kei. His real name, age, birthplace, and marital status are all kept secret. 

Kim So Hyun will reportedly play as the character named Sung Hee. At an early age, she already got the ability to hear lies. After meeting Kim Do Ha, she will fall into new problems while living with the ability. 

"Useless Lies" will reportedly have 16 episodes. Meanwhile, the broadcast date and channel are not yet finalized.

If Kim So Hyun confirms her casting, this will be her follow-up drama after the Netflix original series "Love Alarm 2." The actress is also set to star in the new series "Is It Fate?" directed by Song Hyun Wook. For 2022, the actress is currently resting and didn't appear in any projects. 

Meanwhile, if Hwang Min Hyun accepted the upcoming drama, this will be his second time being the main lead of a series. He got his first leading role in the 2020 drama "Live On." For this year, Hwang Min Hyun was part of the drama "Alchemy of Souls." He will also join the second part "Alchemy of Souls: Light and Shadow" which will also air this year.

Kim So-hyun and Hwang Min-hyun seek truth amid Useless Lies

by solstices

 

Is honesty the best policy? Or does the adage “ignorance is bliss” hold true after all? This dilemma will take center stage in tvN’s upcoming mystery-romance Useless Lies, which will tell the tale of someone who can’t believe in others and someone whom no one believes.

Kim So-hyun (Love Alarm 2) stars as the human lie detector Mok Sol-hee, who was born with the ability to distinguish between candor and deceit. To her, however, her gift is a curse. Unable to avoid realizing when someone is lying to her, Sol-hee has grown jaded and cynical. All her ability has done is reveal the worst of people — that is, until it unexpectedly confirms a man’s innocence.

 

That man is Kim Do-ha, played by Hwang Min-hyun (Alchemy of Souls). Although he’s the most renowned composer and producer in the country, his true identity remains a mystery — and for good reason. Ever since Do-ha came under suspicion of murder, he’s had to contend with skepticism and scorn from countless others. Unable to prove whether his words are truth or lie (heh), Do-ha eventually retreated into hiding, resigning himself to letting others believe what they want.

All that changes when he meets his next-door neighbor Sol-hee. For the first time, someone believes in him, and it’s enough to instill hope in the lonely Do-ha and draw him out of his isolation. As he gradually opens up to Sol-hee, he’ll begin to develop feelings for her — the sole person to see past his tarnished reputation to the side of him that he’s kept concealed thus far.

Thankfully, Do-ha doesn’t only have one person on his side. There’s also Jo Deuk-chan — played by Yoon Ji-on (Tomorrow) — who’s the CEO of the entertainment company that Do-ha’s signed to. With his brilliant leadership and exceptional business acumen, he’d extended a lifeline to the reclusive Do-ha, leading him down the path of becoming a composer. Not only does Deuk-chan treasure Do-ha like a real brother, but he’s also the one and only person who knows Do-ha’s secret.

Another character in Do-ha’s vicinity is the singer Sha-on, played by Lee Shi-woo (The Fabulous). Not much has been disclosed about her character yet, but perhaps her presence speaks for itself. With her mesmerizing aura, there’s no better place for Sha-on than the celebrity stage. Presumably, she’ll be working together with Do-ha and singing his songs. Will she turn out to be friend or foe? Only time will tell.

Adding some romantic tension to the mix is Seo Ji-hoon (Revenge of Others), playing the kind-hearted and compassionate detective Lee Kang-min. Having fallen for Sol-hee at first sight, he’d been preparing a heartfelt proposal — only to be diagnosed with stomach cancer. Three years later, Kang-min has finally achieved complete remission, and he’s ready to rekindle his romance with Sol-hee. Except there’s now another man by Sol-hee’s side, and this unexpected presence stirs up mixed feelings for Kang-min.

A detective who’s also a rival in love? That certainly doesn’t bode well for Do-ha. It does, however, bode well for me — because I’m more than excited to see this cast in action! I mean, I’d watch Seo Ji-hoon in just about anything, but I’m also a longtime NU’EST fan with a penchant for mystery dramas, so this is right up my alley. Bring on the sleuthing and the singing! (You can’t cast Minhyun and then not have him sing, right?)

Directed by Nam Sung-woo (Love in Contract) with scripts written by Seo Jung-eun (Let Me Be Your Knight), Useless Lies is slated for a July premiere.

Kim So Hyun's flawlessly portrayed  Mok Sol Hee, a cynic who can sense lies due to her extraordinary ability. Growing up surrounded by falsehoods, Mok Sol Hee faces challenging situations in her life. Kim So Hyun deftly unravels the dynamic story of Mok Sol Hee, leaving viewers intrigued. Expressing her excitement, Kim So Hyun commented, "Mok Sol Hee, who struggles to trust people due to her ability to detect lies, fascinated me. I thought I could show a new side of myself by portraying the character in an appealing way".

Whereas, Hwang Min Hyun plays the character of Kim Do Ha, a genius composer, who has an untold secret. The actor delicately portrayed the intriguing character of the reclusive loner. As his path intertwines with his neighbor Mok Sol Hee, his life begins to take a different turn. Hwang Min Hyun expressed his enthusiasm, saying, "When I first received the script, I was captivated by its engaging storyline. It is an immense honor to be part of this project. I am dedicated to showcasing my growth and delivering an outstanding performance".

Yun Ji On's portrayal of Cho Deuk Chan, the CEO of J Entertainment who knows Kim Do Ha's true identity, adds the element of bromance. Seo Ji Hoon gave a stellar performance as Lee Kang Min, Mok Sol Hee's first love and a passionate detective driven by a strong sense of justice. Lee Si Woo showcased her vibrant charm as Syaon, a well-known solo singer, and the "Nation's Younger Sister". 

Useless Lies will premiere in July.
