Queen of Housewives, Tears, and Reversals
by javabeans
Kim Nam-joo is coming back for the Queen of Housewives sequel, re-titled (again) to Queen of Reversals — which happens to be in direct competition with her husband’s drama. She is married to IRIS‘s Kim Seung-woo, who is reprising the same role in spy drama Athena.
Athena will replace SBS’s Giant and premieres in November. Queen of Reversals (previously titled Queen of Tears) will also air on Mondays and Tuesdays, after MBC’s Dong Yi bows out in October. I had thought Queen of Tears was a terrible title for the sequel, if only because it’s misleading because the drama’s actually “a bright romantic comedy,” so I think the change is a smart one.
Queen of Housewives proved to be a big hit last year with its upbeat comedy (and later, big angst — of course!), making Kim Nam-joo’s comeback vehicle one of MBC’s few shining projects in that lackluster year. (The other Queen — Seon-deok — was their other big show.) Despite Kim’s casting in the new drama, it will tell an entirely different story, and she will play a different character. Whereas in the first series she was an ordinary wife to a salaryman, in Queen of Reversals she will play the daughter to a chaebol.
Queen of Reversals is directed by Kim Nam-won of Good Job, Good Job, while writer Park Ji-eun returns after penning the original series. The production is aiming to begin filming in early September.
Producers are trying to get Jung Jun-ho and Park Ye-jin confirmed; the two are currently considering the project.
And here are a few photos of Kim Seung-woo and Kim Nam-joo together:

Beautiful photos! A man that attractive would have to have a stunning wife, and he certainly does. What is it about a man in glasses that is so yummy? Hottie nerds are just too hard to resist.
Thanks JB! :-)

Back to topic, let's hope the writer doesn't screw the script up again this time. No extensions, please.

I hope they will sign up Yoon Sang Hyun for this sequel! Indeed TB & JA characters are very well recvd in QoH. Its quite surprising that KNJ's character will be different in this sequel.... Please get YSH!

There is a new series named "The Woman Who Only Love Once" starring Kim Nam Joo. Is this the same actress?

Oh, LOVED Kim Seung-woo in Hotelier. Knowing he'll be in Athena too has suddenly re-awoken my anticipation for it.

Not totally disappointed it's not a direct sequel... But I am disappointed it looks like Yoon Sang Hyung won't be in it. This series' premise would have been the perfect setup to FINALLY get Ji Ae and Tae Joon together at last! I'd love to see Lee Hye Young again too...
