Kang Ji Young, who was once a promising taekwondo athlete, will fully transform into the protagonist Seon Woo and face a life-altering event in I Kill You. Through this drama, she is expected to display her potential as the next generation of action actors chosen by director Yoo Ha.

 

 

Additionally, Lee Gi Kwang, a member of Highlight, stands out with his casting, displaying his abundant talent and passion for acting. He will portray Ho Joong, who aims to become the heir to a conglomerate as Ji Yeon's stepbrother, while harboring feelings of inferiority towards her. In I Kill You, Lee Gi Kwang reveals a side of himself never seen before, portraying a wealthy young man with an outwardly exemplary image but an inner wildness. Anticipation is high for his remarkable transformation and intense acting performance.

I hope for much anticipation and interest in my transformation into an action actor." Lee Gi Kwang also expressed his positive feelings about the first shoot of I Kill You, saying, "This is my first project where I use my body a lot, and since it's a work where I appear as a villain, I'm focusing on studying the script and practicing martial arts during filming. I ask for a lot of expectations and interest.

[Official] Kang Ji-YoungX Lee Ki-Kwang cast in 'I Kill You', the first drama from the director of 'Malicious Cruelty'

 

 

Group Kara Kang Ji-young and Highlight Lee Ki-kwang are starring in 'I Kill You', the first drama directed by director and storyteller Yoo Ha, who has an unrivaled action style such as 'Sassy Street', 'Mean Streets', 'Ssanghwajeom', and 'Gangnam 1970'. 

 

Director Yoo Ha debuted in Chungmuro with 'You Must Go to Apgujeong-dong on a Windy Day', released in 1993, and 'Marriage is a Crazy Thing', 'Cruel Story of Horse Juk Street', 'Mean Streets', 'Ssanghwajeom', 'Howling', and 'Pipe' released in 2021. As a master of the action genre until ‘Line’, he plans to meet viewers by attempting to direct his first drama with ‘I Kill You’. Expectations are already high to see how his action world view will unfold when transferred to a TV screen.

 

The lead roles in 'I Kill You' are played by Kang Ji-young and Lee Ki-kwang, who are attracting attention by predicting a unique transformation. In 'I Kill You', Kang Ji-young plays the dual roles of Seon-woo, a dirt spoon, and Ji-yeon, the third-generation granddaughter of a chaebol, showing off her charm. Kang Ji-young completely transforms into the main character, Seon-woo, a promising taekwondo fighter in the past, and faces an incident that will completely change his life. Through 'I Kill You', he plans to show off his qualities as a next-generation action actor selected by director Yoo Ha.

 

Above all, Kang Ji-young has built up a solid filmography by appearing in movies and dramas between Korea and Japan, solidifying her position as an actor from an idol. She is expected to heat up the TV screen by showing a different side of herself as an action actress through 'I Kill You'. .

 

In addition, the casting of Lee Ki-kwang, a member of the group Highlight and who stands out as an actor with his overflowing talent and passion for acting, also stands out. Lee Ki-kwang plays the role of Ho-joong, the half-brother of Ji-yeon, a third-generation chaebol, and who is looking for a chance to become the successor to Chae Ji-an, who has an inferiority complex towards Ji-yeon, and competes against Kang Ji-young. In 'I Kill You', Lee Gikwang is expected to show off a powerful performance that has never been seen before through the role of Hojoong, a gold-digger with a model student-like exterior but a runaway interior, and expectations are rising for his transformation.

 

Directed by director Yoo Ha, a master of the action genre, with the casting of Kang Ji-young, who announces the birth of a new action star, and Lee Ki-kwang, who stands out for his unique acting transformation, 'I Kill You' announced a strong start with a sudden crank-in on the 12th.
