Kim Hye Yoon, the popular South Korean actress known for her standout performance in the viral K-drama ‘Lovely Runner,’ is reportedly in discussions to take on the lead role in the upcoming fantasy romance drama ‘I’m Human From Today.’ If confirmed, this role will mark her first project following the massive success of ‘Lovely Runner.’

Kim Hye Yoon to Potentially Play Lead in Fantasy Romance Drama

According to a report from Joy News 24 on August 16, 2024, Kim Hye Yoon has been offered the role of Eun Ho, the lead character in the highly anticipated K-drama ‘I’m Human From Today.’ This fantasy drama will revolve around the life of a gumiho (a mythical nine-tailed fox from Korean folklore) who is attempting to navigate life as a powerful being with the potential to become human.

Eun Ho, the character Kim Hye Yoon is considering, is depicted as a wealthy and carefree gumiho who enjoys her supernatural abilities and eternal beauty without taking much responsibility for her actions. She avoids men and focuses on performing good deeds, hoping that if she ever becomes human, her past actions will serve her well.

Joining Kim Hye Yoon in this potential project is Park Solomon, who is reportedly in discussions to play the male lead, Kang Si Yeol.

This potential collaboration between Kim Hye Yoon and Park Solomon is generating excitement among fans, as both actors have shown remarkable talent in their previous roles.
