Dasom, Noh Jong-hyun, Go Yoon-jung, Jang Eui-soo
tvN has added a number of fresh-faced rookie actors to the cast lineup of their new rom-com That Psychometric Guy. Joining Jinyoung (School of Magic) of idol group Got7, will be Dasom (Sister Is Alive), Noh Jong-hyun (Life on Mars), Jang Eui-soo (Beauty Inside, the film), and new actress Go Yoon-jung.
Jinyoung has been cast as the lead, a guy named Lee Ahn, who has the psychometric ability to read people’s hidden secrets by touching them. His costar is Shin Ye-eun (A-TEEN), she will be making her TV debut as Yoon Jae-in – a highly guarded young woman who would rather die than reveal her hidden secrets and scars.
Dasom (formerly of the idol group Sistar) has been cast as Eun Ji-soo, a special forces detective who is described as unreserved and frank. She is aware of Lee Ahn’s special powers and often includes him in investigations. Jang Eui-soo will play her colleague, the rookie special forces detective Lee Seung-yong.
Noh Jong-hyun plays Lee Ahn’s best friend, Lee Dae-bong while Go Yoon-jung will be playing an outsider named Kim So-hyun.
Jinyoung actually first caught my eye back on Dream High 2. He was green, but he stood out as one of the few cast members whose acting was somewhat natural. (I still somehow watched the whole thing because that’s the power of Park Seo-joon apparently.) However, Jinyoung doesn’t yet have a lot of experience and the cast in general for That Psychometric Guy is quite new. Still, tvN has proven in the past, particularly with their Answer Me series, that new can be a good thing. I’m putting my trust in you, tvN!
That Psychometric Guy is currently planned to air in the first half of 2019 on tvN.
