Choi Ji Woo Is Cast As The Female Lead For New tvN Drama

Actress Choi Ji Woo will play her first ever campus life role as Ha No Ra who is reliving her twenties again. New tvN Friday-Saturday drama ‘My Second Twenty-Years Old (literal translation)’ will take over ‘Oh My Ghost’ when it is over and Choi Ji Woo has been confirmed as the female protagonist.

‘My Second Twenty-Years Old’ is about a woman, Ha No Ra, who became a mother at the age of 19 and twenty years have passed since then. It is a romantic comedy about entering college for the first time and experiencing campus life. A freshman, Ha No Ra adjusts to university as she tries to communicate with her twenty-year old peers for a youth reply project.

This drama was written by So Hyun Kyung, who wrote ‘Brilliant Legacy,’ ‘Prosecutor Princess,’ ‘Seoyoung, My Daughter’ and ‘Two Weeks.’ Director Kim Hyun Sik, who directed ‘Secret Door,’ ‘Suspicious Housekeeper’ and ‘Sign’ will be in charge.

Through this drama, Choi Ji Woo will be in her first tvN drama and will be acting as a wife and mother. Her character, Ha No Ra, who dreamed of becoming a dancer, will start her university life at a late age due to meeting her husband, Kim Woo Chul, in high school and getting pregnant. In order to stand tall and proud next to her university professor husband and her son, Min Soo, she applied for college and will enter alongside her son.

According to the producers of the drama, “Showing an innocent lover to a coy cold city woman through various dramas and always trying a new role, we thought Choi Ji Woo’s bright and strong personality would best fit Ha No Ra so we casted her. We imagine the youthful faced and young sentiments of Choi Ji Woo will realistically show Ha No Ra’s fresh and exciting campus life. Please anticipate how Choi Ji Woo’s second 20-years old will be.”

Meanwhile, this drama will crank in in the middle of July after finalizing the rest of the cast and will start airing at the end of August.
