Finally! I thought we’d never see Gong Myung (Extreme Job) in the promo material for JTBC’s Melo Suits Me. New stills of Gong Myung and Chun Woo-hee (Argon) have been released, and though I’m excited for the male leads to woo our ladies, I’m more in this for the female friendship and camaraderie that I hope we get lots of in this female-driven rom-com.
Gong Myung will be reuniting with his Extreme Job director Lee Byung-heon in this show, which is something I take as a huge positive, since I had never really warmed up to the young actor until I watched the hilarious cop comedy earlier this year. In Melo Suits Me, he’ll be swapping his detective’s badge in for an office one, as the newbie marketing team maknae at the drama production company where Han Ji-eun (100 Days My Prince) works. This sounds like a noona romance in the making, though the would-be couple has an uphill battle on their hands, what with them working at the same company and Han Ji-eun being a young, single mother.
I wonder whether his character will cross paths with Chun Woo-hee in a professional setting, as well, since she is a drama writer. I’ve only ever seen the actress briefly in the film Beauty Inside, and her scenes were pretty serious, so I’m looking forward to her in this role. Her character is described as completely unpredictable and slightly off-kilter, with a tendency to be a little too blunt. But although she may appear a little reckless and maybe a tad strange, the drama writer has a lot of heart and always gets what needs to be done, done. Aw, I’m rooting for her already and the show hasn’t even started.
JTBC’s Melo Suits Me will premiere on July 26.
