Nam Ji Hyun has been confirmed to star opposite Ji Chang Wook for the SBS drama "Suspicious Partner" which was earlier known as "Be Careful of This Woman." It was earlier reported that 'Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok Joo" star Lee Sung Kyung was offered the role but negotiations didn't seem to pull through.
According to a report by Soompi, Choi Tee Joon and Hello Venus' Nara have also been confirmed to join the cast of "Suspicious Partner" along with Nam Ji Hyun. The first reading of the script is scheduled on April 4.
"Suspicious Partner" will tell the story of a man and woman who try to recover an important memory but are chased by murderers for it. The concept has been changed from before when it was reported that the drama will center around the judiciary and a judicial trainee will be suspected of murder, Kpopstarz reported.
Based on the new synopsis of "Suspicious Partner", Ji Chang Wook will play the lead role of prosecutor No Ji Wook, who is brilliant at his job but suffers from a trauma from his childhood. He will meet Eun Bong Hee, the character played by Nam Ji Hyun, a former judicial apprentice who becomes a lawyer. Hello Venu's Nara will play Ji Chang Wook's ex-girlfriend who is expected to cause trouble in his budding relationship.
Choi Tae Joon on the other hand, will play the part of lawyer Ji Eun Hyuk, No Ji Wook's childhood friend. Fans are looking forward to how Ji Chang Wook and Choi Tae Joon will portray their roles because the two actors are known to be good friends in the real life.
It can be recalled that Ji Chang Wook even appeared in an episode of "We Got Married" to take part in a prank he played on APink's Bomi. "Suspicious Partner" is expected to air on SBS starting May.
