According to a report on April 5, the "Uncanny Counter" star Kim Sejeong is being courted to play as the lead character of SBS' forthcoming series "Today's Webtoon."
Following the success of OCN's "Uncanny Counter," the 24-year-old actress is now in talks to start in a drama with a different genre.
"Today's Webtoon" is originally based on a Japanese hit drama "Sleepeeer Hit," which was broadcast on TBS Japan in 2016. It tells the story of a woman who used to be in a Olympic Judo team and broke a new path in a webtoon editorial department.
