Go Kyung Pyo, Seohyun, Kim Hyo Jin and Kim Young Min are all set to scheme cons in new series Private Lives!
jTBC probably is my favorite network in terms of how they promote their dramas. Just like how they did in Private Lives, it undeniably piqued my interest on what it will offer.
Plot Sketch
Slated to broadcast on October 7, Private Lives is billed to revolve around the story of a scammer, who inadvertently falls into an issue of national level, competing against established and big companies.
Blending sweet romance, mystery and suspense, the series aims an engrossing drama experience for its viewers.
Main Leads
Seohyun as Cha Joo Eun
Challenging the role of a fraudster, Seohyun goals a new exciting addition to her drama portfolio which has seen quite interesting range in the last two years. Nurturing her journey as an actress, her new character Cha Joo-eun is described as a master of disguise. She brilliantly changes not only her styling, but also her expressions and behaviors to suit her con missions.
Learning the ropes from her scammer parents since her childhood, she knows just how to manipulate a private life without hesitation to get to her goal.
Seohyun confessed how she really wanted to do Private Lives. “I remember reading the script one day. It was so interesting that I didn’t know how time passed,” she said.
She further explained details about her character. “Everything in my life was stained with lies and fraud without my knowledge. As I grew up learning and seeing fraud activities naturally through my parents, I learned the principle of the world faster than my peers. I have an excellent sense of reality so I can objectively grasp the situation I am in.”
Go Kyung Pyo as Lee Jeong Hwan
For his post military project, Go Kyung Pyo suits up to his new character Lee Jeong-hwan. He is a neat and sophisticated team leader of a huge company. Relaying thoughts about his new role, the actor hints about his other life apart from being an ordinary office worker.
He also takes pride of the synergy he created with fellow main leads that will surely manifest in the story.
Kim Hyo Jin as Jung Bok Ki
Playing the role of top-tier scammer Jung Bok-ki is actress Kim Hyo Jin who has broken her acting hiatus through Private Lives.
Jung Bok-ki has achieved the top 1% in any field. She is a successful businesswoman, but in reality she is the best scammer in the industry. Labeled to belong in the top 1% of scammers, she can trick even hustlers with her con games.
Kim Young Min as Kim Jae Wook
Rounding up the main cast is Kim Young Min who takes the role of Kim Jae-wook. He is revealed as a big-picture expert and a fraudulent partner of Bok-ki.
Sharing details about his new role, the actor expressed how Jae-wook is a possessor of cold reason and relentless sensibility. He struggles to reveal his thoughts well. “If you watch from the standpoint of each character, you will be able to enjoy a more diverse story,” he confidently recommended.
The Creative Team
Penning the script for the series is writer Yoo Sung Yul who worked on Heartless City, a well-received espionage themed drama. The series will be directed by Nam Gun with DOREMI Entertainment backing up the series. The production team has worked on notable dramas such as I Can Hear Your Voice, Beating Again and Queen of Housewives.
Private Lives chalked up October 7 release on jTBC and will be streamed worldwide on Netflix.
