Confirmed: Golden Child’s Bomin And Shim Dal Mi To Lead New KakaoTV Drama
KakaoTV is set to produce another drama for the second half of 2021. Recently, the male and female leads have been revealed!
Entitled "Shadow Beauty," KakaoTv's upcoming drama is based on a popular webtoon of the same name which is written by Ah Heum. The story will revolve around a student named Goo Ae Jin who is going through an inferiority complex. Despite her anxiety towards her appearance in real life, Goo Ae Jin is an online celebrity with over 770,000 followers due to her amazing makeup skills.
Taking on the role of Goo Ae Jin is a new and upcoming actress Shim Dal Gi. Playing the character Goo Ae Jin for the drama "Shadow Beauty" is Shim Dal Gi's first-ever lead role for a drama. Prior to this, she played some minor roles in dramas such as "The School Nurse Files," "Kingdom: Season 2," "Hospital Playlist," "Save Me 2," "Persona," and "Feel Good To Die."
Meanwhile, Golden Child member Choi Bo Min is cast to portray Kim Ho In who is Goo Ae Jin's classmate. On the outside, Kim Ho In looks like a model student being the class president among others, but just like Shim Dal Gi, he has a secret.
Previously, Choi Bo Min starred in dramas such as "A-Teen 2," "Crash! Insignificant Roommates," and "Crash! Insignificant Reunion." He also played minor roles in a variety of dramas including "20th Century Boy and Girl," "Melting Me Softly," "Twenty-Twenty," and "18 Again."
The path of the two characters will cross after Choi Bo Min's Kim Ho In discovers Goo Ae Jin's secret.
Shim Dal Gi expressed her delight playing the beloved character Goo Ae Jin saying, "She's unique, but has an inner pain that anyone can relate to, so I'll work hard to make her touch the hearts of the viewers."
On the other hand, Choi Bo Min shared that Kim Ho In is different from the other characters he played before but as soon as reading the script he became attracted to the character.
"Shadow Beauty" will be divided into 13 episodes with each having a duration of 20 minutes. It will be directed by Bang Soo In.
