For the upcoming KBS comedic family drama Father is Strange, an earnest patriarch and his dedicated wife live in the outskirts of Seoul along with their one son and three marriageable daughters until one day, a Hallyu celebrity becomes a permanent resident in their home. The actresses to play the three daughters are, from eldest to youngest: Kim So-yeon (All’s Well With a Happy Home), Jung So-min (D-Day), and Ryu Hwa-young (Age of Youth).

Kim So-yeon and Jung So-min confirmed recently, and it’s only Ryu Hwa-young, up for the youngest sister’s role, who has yet to make a final decision. Kim So-yeon’s character is a beautiful, intelligent lawyer who radiates confidence. Mostly wrapped up in her own life, she doesn’t care to involve herself in family affairs, but does so when she is needed. Jung So-min plays the second sister, who, when compared to her successful siblings, is often found to be lacking. However, she possesses a strong spine, cheerful personality, and hearty appetite.

Ryu Hwa-young is considering the offer to play the family’s maknae. Her character is so glamorously attractive that she doesn’t remember a time when she didn’t have an on-call boyfriend. Her main flaw is that despite her gorgeous face and figure, she’s naively simple, which leads her to make reckless, scatterbrained decisions. I’ve seen Ryu Hwa-young in Ex-Girlfriend Club and Age of Youth, and she seems to have been typecast in the role of the curvaceous girl with more boobs than brains. I am hopeful that because Father is Strange is a longer drama, her character will become more nuanced, and she will have more opportunity to demonstrate her acting skills as the series progresses.

Other actors who have signed on to star in the cast include: Lee Joon (Woman With a Suitcase) as the self-absorbed Hallyu star, and Kim Young-chul (All’s Well With a Happy Home) and Kim Hae-sook (Yeah, That’s How It Is) as the parents of the central family. Father is Strange will begin broadcasting on KBS in February 2017, in the weekend slot currently occupied by Laurel Tree Tailors.
