Jeon Hye-bin as the other Oh Hae-young in tvN’s mystery romance

by girlfriday

This is pretty much perfect casting, on the heels of Seo Hyun-jin (Let’s Eat 2) and Eric (Discovery of Romance) confirming the new tvN mystery romance drama Oh Hae-young Again. Since the series is about two women who share a name and keep getting entangled in each other’s professional and love lives, it’s pretty important to get a strong second lead, so I’m happy about them getting Joseon Gunman’s Jeon Hye-bin onboard.

I just really liked Jeon Hye-bin’s character in Joseon Gunman and kind of wanted her to be the main character. She’ll be great in Oh Hae-young Again as the prettier, more popular, more successful Oh Hae-young — the woman the heroine has always been compared to during their school days, and can’t seem to get away from in adulthood. On top of sharing the same name and both working in the catering business, Jeon Hye-bin will be hired at Seo Hyun-jin’s catering firm as her new boss.

Even worse is the fact that they’ll share a love interest in Eric, a sound director in the film industry. Jeon Hye-bin is his ex-fiancée who left him at the altar and just vanished without a trace that day. He has the ability to see the future (maybe an ability brought on by the trauma?), and will spend the series trying to get away from both women named Oh Hae-young.

It would really suck to be the other Oh Hae-young next to the “Pretty Oh Hae-young,” which is actually what Jeon Hye-bin’s character will be called, but Seo Hyun-jin is so great at the endearing underdog character, so the more formidable her rival is, the better the journey will be and the more we get to root for her.

Oh Hae-young Again follows Pied Piper on Mondays and Tuesdays in May.

Jeon Hye-bin is so freaking under-rated. I'm not going to complain that she is the 2nd lead because she is capable of stealing the spotlight like she has done in the past.

This will be interesting. I love both ladies but Seo Hyun-jin will have to step it up a notch.

Agreed. She's amazing. I really need to go back and watch more of her dramas (Queen Insoo is all the way to 41 speaking of which :D). I agree she can work a smaller role like nobody's business, but I really hope she can get more leads in the future. She definitely deserves it.

I have no complaints for both ladies. Both are underrated, but they are good. Even as supporting characters they can steal the spotlight. So looking forward for both.

Eric is lucky because he gets to act with two good actresses. The casts are solid, just hoping the plot will not ruin them.

I thought Jeon Hye Bin is more exist in k-entertainment industry compare to Seo Hyun Jin. This kinda rivalry is very interesting. Both underrated actress with good looks, charming and sexy appearance (Hye Bin is hotter though).

I always have a little trouble with her roles in general, but I don't know if it's because of her or just because I did not like the drama in itself :/ .

By cons is always a bit strange to see her like this for me, because I found her so attractive in the past. It's kinda like Lee Dahae, they were so memorable for me, one through "My girl" and the other one via X-Man, now I always have a little trouble with their new face.
Although both are very nice, and everyone does what he wants with his body!

I can't wait for this drama.

I've only watched her in Witch's Amusement, which was a looongg time ago - and she didn't leave a great impression to me. So this is a nice surprise to see her getting positive responses - I'm looking forward to this !

I didn't just kind of wanted her to be the lead in JG, I wished she could've been both first and second lead because Nam Sang-mi is just... I can't even.

I'm still a bit confused on the premise of this drama. Two heroines sharing one name and a hero who sees the future. It's weird :/ But I really like all the actors so I'll give it a shot.

I hope they'll do something more interesting than making her the bitch who makes the lead insecure and the show is as gloriously wacky as it sounds instead of just being a tepid love triangle thing with clairvoyance.

Yesss!!! This is great news! Great casting again! I really liked her in JG, the first role I've seen her in.

I can imagine her in this new role already. =D

hah I feel sorry for the underdog Oh Hae Young already since the pretty & popular Oh Hae Young seemingly has everything going for her. I just hope they don't make her to be super bitchy and snobby kind.

Can't wait to find out why Jeon Hye Bin was a runaway bride (cold feet, commitment phobia, accident...?).

Casting wise, it's perfect.

Great casts. Jeon Hye Bin is one hot lady. I think I will have second lead syndrome in this drama because of her. Imagine Eric + Hye Bin +romance + TvN.....BURNING!!!!

Maybe this time around, we will have second lead syndrome for second female lead? ;) I had enough with SLS with second male lead (even i never suffer from this syndrome) but tbh i always suffer second lead syndrome for 2nd female lead.

For eg Yoo in Young in Mask. While Soo Ae's character is easy to forget, but I still can remember Yoo In Young's character. Especially her scene when she is drinking the wine and playing with the straw :D

Anyway. both ladies are awesome. Looking forward to this drama. Just hope the plot will not turn to mess.

Looking forward to seeing Jeon Hye-Bin again. I hope she will get a leading role after this drama. She was so good in Joseon Gunman.

I like her more than Seo Hyun Jin for Eric. I think they match well.
