Lee Da-hae, Ryu Soo-young
The casting lineup for upcoming weekend drama Tale of a Good Witch is now complete: Lee Da-hae (Hotel King) and Ryu Soo-young (Father Is Strange) will play the main couple, and Ahn Woo-yeon (Age of Youth 2), Bae Soo-bin (My Heart Twinkle Twinkle), and Yoon Se-ah (Just Between Lovers, My Sassy Girl) have signed on as the supporting cast.
Tale of a Good Witch begins with a kind housewife who starts living a double life due to unavoidable circumstances. Her second identity is her twin sister, a stewardess who is known as “Cutting Witch” for her cold, nasty personality. Ryu Soo-young plays an intelligent and well-traveled pilot who lives a YOLO lifestyle, avoiding the possibility of a sad marriage. His life is upended when he meets Lee Da-hae’s character, and he begins to question his stance on marriage.
Despite his growing affection for Lee Da-hae, of course this love line will be complicated by the existence of her husband, played by Bae Soo-bin. He’s an unemployed bum with the gift of gab, who is excessively emotional and more invested in updating his social media than seeking employment.
The airline that Ryu Soo-young works for is Hangong, a family-run conglomerate. The director of Hangong will be played by Yoon Se-ah, the hotheaded eldest daughter of the CEO. Her brother (Hangong’s CEO’s youngest son) is a mischievous troublemaker, who will be played by Ahn Woo-yeon.
Double identities, chaebols, and no-good husbands—sounds like an awesome makjang already! Now that casting is finished, filming will begin soon for SBS weekender Tale of a Good Witch. It will premiere at the beginning of next March, following the end of currently airing Bravo My Life.
