Actress Lee Yo-won (Night Light) is eyeing tvN’s Buam-dong Revenge Social Club as her next potential project. Based on a webtoon by the same name that was released from September 2014 to December 2016, it’s about a trio of women who set out for revenge against the individuals who wronged them. Lee Yo-won is up to play one of the three women, a chaebol heiress named Jung-hye.
One of my fave ajummas ever, Ra Mi-ran (Laurel Tree Tailors), is up for a main role as part of the threesome. If she confirms, she’ll be playing a fish market vendor who has lived a harsh life. The last character in the trio is an orphan named Mi-sook, but the actress to play her has not yet been decided.
PD Kwon Seok-jang will be at the head of this new project; while I did enjoy Pasta and Golden Time from him, Ex Girlfriend Club and Woman With a Suitcase do make me a little more nervous about what to expect. But the webtoon is a known property with an unusual premise and so far the cast is looking strong, so this will be a project to look forward to.
Buam-dong Revenge Social Club is slated to premiere sometime in the latter half of this year on tvN.
