Go Hyun Jung, Ahn Jae Hong, and Yeom Hye Ran will be starring in the upcoming Netflix series “Mask Girl” (literal title) together!
“Mask Girl” is based on the webtoon of the same name which gained great popularity for its unique characters and refreshing plot. The drama will be about an ordinary employee named Kim Mo Mi who is insecure about her looks. Every night, Kim Mo Mi is active as an internet broadcasting jockey (BJ) who works while covering her face with a mask. “Mask Girl” depicts Kim Mo Mi’s turbulent life story that unfolds when she unintentionally gets swept up in an incident.
Go Hyun Jung will be playing the leading role of Kim Mo Mi. The actress will be making a new drastic transformation after having done so in the past through “Reflection of You,” “My Lawyer, Mr. Joe 2,” “Dear My Friends,” and more. When she was young, Kim Mo Mi dreamed of becoming a celebrity, but she has always been dejected because her appearance does not fit the image of a celebrity. Although she suffers from an inferiority complex, she feels great delight when she puts on her masks and transforms into an internet BJ. Viewers are excited to see how Go Hyun Jung will use her gentle charisma to portray Kim Mo Mi and her strong resolve to do whatever it takes to achieve one goal in her turbulent life.
Ahn Jae Hong, who previously impressed with his roles in “Time to Hunt,” “The King’s Case Note,” “Melo Is My Nature,” and “Fight My Way,” will be playing Kim Mo Mi’s coworker Joo Oh Nam who harbors a one-sided crush on Kim Mo Mi. As a character who also feels inferior about his appearance and lacks presence in general, Joo Oh Nam’s only source of joy is watching internet broadcasts. He will get swept up in an unexpected incident with Kim Mo Mi.
Having showcased her great ability to interpret characters through “The Uncanny Counter,” “When the Camellia Blooms,” “Live,” and more, Yeom Hye Ran will be taking on the role of Joo Oh Nam’s mom Kim Kyung Ja. In addition to being born unlucky, Kim Kyung Ja divorced her husband and only lives to look after her son. After her son goes missing, she quickly puts her broken heart together and begins to search for Joo Oh Nam.
“Mask Girl” will be helmed and written by director Kim Yong Hoon, who won the Tiger Competition special jury award at the 49th International Film Festival Rotterdam for his crime thriller “Beasts Clawing at Straws.” The series will be produced by Bon Factory of “True Beauty,” “Encounter,” “What’s Wrong With Secretary Kim,” “Master’s Sun,” and more.
