Buoyant atmosphere at Suspicious Partner script read

by tineybeanie

SBS’s upcoming rom-com drama Suspicious Partner just held its first script read, and it looks so cute already. Ji Chang-wook (The K2)) is starring as a prickly tsundere prosecutor—the epitome of a sexy brainiac—while Nam Ji-hyun (Shopping King Louis) will be playing his love interest, an energetic new judicial trainee who breaks through the walls of his heart.

She’s an outsider who becomes involved in a suspicious case, and together they fall in love as they work together to get to the bottom of this mystery. Previous character synopses say that she is supposed to have been a professional martial artist who suddenly decided to pursue a law degree instead. I wonder if the catalyst for her career switch may be somehow related with the case.

PD Park Sun-ho, who co-produced Legend of the Blue Sea and Jackpot, is taking the lead on this project, and Protect the Boss’s writer Kwon Ki-young is in charge of the script. Welcoming their actors and staff, PD Park said: “Making precious bonds with each other, let’s have fun on set, and let’s work hard try to create beautiful pictures that we will be proud of.” Writer Kwon added that she was honored to work with everyone that she would do her best.

The two second leads Choi Tae-joon (Missing 9) and Hello Venus idol member Nara were also present at the script read. Choi, who is real-life besties with Ji Chang-wook, will be playing his friend in the drama, who is a lawyer that grew up without a lot of love. It was reported that the production staff were surprised at how reliable Nara’s acting skills were at the script read. So it looks like Suspicious Partner is coming along well.

Wednesday-Thursday drama Suspicious Partner will begin airing on May 10.

The glasses are too much. I'm not sure I can handle that much cute. I don't even care if they're goofy fashion glasses. Hoping this is a good one!

The ultimate dilemma: Do I get started on another drama with sexy leads (on top of the tens I have on my list already) orrr get not started on another drama and focus on my school work? Pfft who am I kidding we all know the answer here (I think sadly but not totally sure LOL)

Is Ji Chang Wook serious right now? He looks so freaking good and it's like he's in a photoshoot? How. Also I love his glasses! On the other hand, Nam Ji Hyun looks GORGEOUS with that hairstyle!! I hope it's her official hair style for the drama.

I'm feeling alot better about the casting after seeing how relaxed and jovial the cast seem with one another.

Oh goodness I can't wait to see JCW's lovestruck expressions in this drama, that's all I can think about now...

Sorry for the big block of text, it seems the comment section doesn't recognize paragraphs or spaces.

I hope DB Staffs could fix the paragraph spacing. There are beanies who commented long in recaps to share their wonderful insights. I love reading comments be it short or long but with the absence of paragraph spacing, I tend to skip it after reading few sentences.

You can't see it, but I'm praying/conducting rituals/offering sacrifices to ALL the dramagods that this drama turns out well, since this is the last time I'll have Ji Chang-wook on my screen before the army takes him away. *whimper*

I registered on Dramabeans only so I could gush over my Korean crush JCW <3 He looks nice even in that ill-fitting shirt. Why would I want to look at anybody else when I have such a devastatingly handsome man before me!?!?

It sounds like a very boring story with beautiful male leads. I hope the plot will be a good surprise... I'll always check something out with Ji Chang Wook in it. Especially if he wears glasses.

I'm on board with a one way ticket to Wookie-land (his special island). Nam Ji Hyun is looking so beautiful! The more I stare at JCW the more I'm tempted to plant a kiss on my screen. His smile is a drug.

I'm still amazed by the fact that her and Ji Changwook's characters ended up together in Warrior Baek Dongsoo although Nam Jihyun played the younger version of the lead girl and Ji Changwook played the older version of Baek Dongsoo. :D Looking forward to this~

Ji Chang Wook is one of my favorite actors. Plus he's so handsome. His stare I just cant hehe. Nam Ji Hyun is also a good actress for me. Her acting in What Happens to My Family was nice and Bokshil is one of my fave characters in dramaland. Expect this pair will be another cutie couple. Anticipating.

Nam Ji-hyun looks so pretty! I mean she has always been pretty but now she is an actresss without "child" in it.
On the other hand, I hope Choi Tae-joon does not get typecasted in cold or psychopath characters like Nam Goong-min before Beautiful Gongshim due to his role in Missing 9. He seems to deliver comedy well according to his stints in variety TV.
