tvN’s upcoming drama “Surviving as a Celebrity Manager” (literal title) has shared a glimpse of Joo Hyun Young in character!
Starring Lee Seo Jin, Kwak Sun Young, Seo Hyun Woo, and Joo Hyun Young, “Surviving as a Celebrity Manager” is a remake of the hit French series “Call My Agent!” The original series consists of four seasons and captures the fierce struggles of top stars and their managers in a realistic and witty way.
tvN’s remake will showcase how pro managers working with Korea’s top stars are inevitably amateurs in their own lives as they navigate work, love, and ambition.
The newly released stills show Joo Hyun Young completely transforming into So Hyun Joo, a rookie manager at the big entertainment company METHOD Entertainment. Joo Hyun Young, who captivated viewers’ hearts with her outstanding acting as the lovable Dong Geurami in the hit drama “Extraordinary Attorney Woo,” will show a new side of herself as the clumsy yet responsible rookie manager in the new drama.
Furthermore, the drama’s new stills also share a look at the busy life of So Hyun Joo who can be spotted holding her cell phone 24/7 as she is expected to answer endless incoming calls and messages regarding the top star that she is in charge of anytime and anywhere.
Other photos have So Hyun Joo’s hands full of coffee and scripts, giving viewers an idea of the kinds of tasks she has as a newbie in a big company. Despite working without rest, So Hyun Joo doesn’t look tired and rather even looks eager, with her eyes focused on the next tasks given to her, showing her passion as she finally scored her dream job.
So Hyun Joo is said to have earned her job as a pro manager after a lot of twists and turns. She dreams of becoming a manager because she admires the way they selflessly work behind the scenes to make the stars shine brightly.
That’s why although she unintentionally causes mistakes and accidents because she is a rookie, through those trials and errors along the way, she is eager to prove herself as a professional manager someday. Her growth as a manager is also said to be one of the key points to anticipate for this drama.
The production team remarked, “Passionate rookie manager So Hyun Joo is a character who empathizes well with others and shows excellent wit with young thinking and an open mind. As she steps into the world of managers, viewers will be able to discover a new side of Joo Hyun Young that they have never seen before through this drama.”
The staff ended their statement with praise for Joo Hyung Young, saying, “So Hyun Joo and Joo Hyun Young’s synchronization is beyond perfect. She is turning completely into So Hyun Joo, so we ask for your love and interest to meet her as the first broadcast is approaching.”
tvN’s remake of “Call My Agent!” premieres on November 7 at 10:30 p.m. KST.
