Jo Yeo-jung’s Stroke of Good Luck

by javabeans

There’s a new weekend comedy series on the horizon, and SBS has just cast Jo Yeo-jung (I Need Romance) to headline Ji Woon-soo’s Stroke of Good Luck. It’s a drama about an ordinary office employee, Ji Woon-soo (Jo Yeo-jung) who dreams of her life being turned around in a reversal of fortune. So… sort of like Salarywoman, the comic version?

The drama will follow the tenacious Woon-soo, who works hard to earn a living; she possesses an eerie talent for sniffing out money, which probably means she’s gonna be a penny-pinching, bargain-hunting, hilarious almost-ajumma.

She lives with a husband who’s a mere entry-level clerk (Im Chang-jung) and also with her parents. I’m sure that’s not awkward. Hubby’s kind of a loser and dreams of hitting the lotto jackpot, while comic veteran Lee Moon-shik plays a lotto service operator.

It sounds like a cute drama to liven up weekends, and it’s nice to hear of a drama casting months in advance for once, rather than a few weeks before premiere time. On the other hand, its director brought us Lie To Me (the writer penned the 2004 fantasy-action series Tale of the Nine-Tailed Fox), so… I’m not getting too excited just yet.

Ji Woon-soo’s Stroke of Good Luck will air in May.

Oh...a series where the main lead is already married. I hope it really is a comedy and doesn't go melo on us mid-way.

The Director and Writer makes me cringe. But I am looking forward to a good romp. Some laughter is always good for the soul.

Lie.To.Me., *shudder* this director who was responsible in Kang Ji Hwan's acting massacre, wasn't he/she? There's something I wish I just forget, because I can not forgive.
