The upcoming Genie TV original drama 'My Troublesome Star' has unveiled its official teaser poster and first trailer on July 16.
Starring Uhm Jung Hwa and Song Seung Hun, the romantic comedy is set to premiere on August 18 at 10 PM KST. The series promises an emotional and entertaining journey as a once-glamorous star faces a new reality after losing 25 years of her memory.
'My Troublesome Star' tells the story of Bong Cheong Ja, played by Uhm Jung Hwa, a former top celebrity who wakes up one day with no memory of the past 25 years. She finds herself in the body of a middle-aged woman, struggling to adjust to a drastically changed world. Helping her along the way is Dokgo Chul, played by Song Seung Hun, a lone-wolf traffic officer whose life takes an unexpected turn after meeting her. The drama follows their chaotic and heartfelt journey as they confront the past and rediscover themselves.
The series is directed by Choi Young Hoon, known for his work on 'One the Woman' and 'Good Casting.' The script is written by Park Ji Ha, who previously impressed audiences with 'Miss Night and Day.' The reunion of this trusted creative team has raised anticipation among viewers looking for a fresh yet meaningful romantic comedy.
The teaser poster for 'My Troublesome Star' features Bong Cheong Ja looking into a mirror, visibly shocked by the unfamiliar face staring back at her. Once the elegant and beloved star Im Sera, she is now dressed in rubber gloves, far removed from her glamorous past. The caption, "Woke up and 25 years disappeared?!" hints at the dramatic shift in her life and sets the tone for the series. The first teaser video expands on this, showing Bong Cheong Ja insisting she is still the same Im Sera. Her confusion and desperation to prove her identity lead to both comedic and touching moments.
In one scene, she asks Dokgo Chul if he knows her. His indifferent reply, "Should I?" quickly turns into curiosity when he realizes she might be the famous actress Im Sera. Their developing relationship adds intrigue and emotional depth to the story.
Uhm Jung Hwa delivers a dynamic performance as Bong Cheong Ja, a star who has lost everything except her determination.
Song Seung Hun plays Dokgo Chul, a demoted traffic officer hoping to return to the violent crimes unit. His life changes when Bong Cheong Ja suddenly appears, claiming to be a long-lost celebrity.
'My Troublesome Star' will premiere on ENA at 10 PM KST on August 18. New episodes will air every Monday and Tuesday, with exclusive free VOD streaming available on KT Genie TV immediately after broadcast.
