Kang Hanna, Kim Do-wan, Bae In-hyuk
tvN’s Frightening Cohabitation has snatched up Start-Up actress Kang Hanna to play an important role. Based on an ongoing popular Naver webtoon by the same name, Frightening Cohabitation will be about a 999-year-old male gumiho who ends up living with a female college student, and how they overcome their 977-year age gap and fall in love.
Jang Ki-yong (Born Again) and Hyeri (Miss Lee) have already been confirmed as the main leads. Kang Hanna is set to play Jang Ki-yong’s long-time friend, a former gumiho who is a vixen-like beauty. She seems like a perfect beauty, but her personality is a total contrast–she’s a complete heodang through and through.
Kim Do-wan (Start-Up) was previously confirmed so we’re officially getting a mini Start-Up reunion next year. Kim Do-wan will play Hyeri’s best guy friend. When he falls in love, he goes completely head over heels, willing to give up his liver, his spleen, any organ for his lady love. He’s cute, physically fit, and has an awesome personality. However, he keeps falling into the trap of being the weaker side of a romantic relationship. He’s set to have a loveline with Kang Hanna’s character.
Newcomer Bae In-hyuk (The Spies Who Loved Me) will play the third leg of the main couple’s love triangle. He has intelligence, wealth, and beauty, and he begins a one-sided love for Hyeri, because she’s the first person to reject his advances firmly. He’s her college sunbae, so I’m looking forward to a lot of funny campus hijinks.
Frightening Cohabitation is tentatively scheduled to air in the first half of next year on tvN.
