This September, Netflix Korea sent the green light, much to the fans' delight, confirming the production of the comedy drama "Aema" which the two were previously in talks for.
Netflix Confirms Production of New Drama 'Aema'
Jin Seon Kyu and Lee Honey reunite in their second acting project together this 2023.
On September 11, Netflix announced that the two sterling actors will decorate the new fictional comedy series that depicts the creators of the film "Madame Aema" in the 1980s.
The film-in-a-film narrative portrays the stories of star actresses, rookie stars, producers and showrunners of that period as they distribute films with a comically enticing appeal.
In the series, Lee Honey plays top actress Jung Hee Ran who loses her new acting project due to differences with the production crew.
Jin Seon Kyu transforms into Gu Jung Ho, a popular producer who favors rookie actresses with so much potential in hopes to make a legacy in the competitive film industry.
"Aema" marks the two actors' first ever project together since their hilarious collaboration in "Extreme Job" in 2019.
It's also Lee Honey's first drama after giving birth in 2022. Meanwhile, "Aema" is Jin Seon Kyu's new acting gig, following the success of his works "Revenant" and "The Uncanny Counter 2."

While Bang Hyo Rin makes her first terrestrial appearance through "Aema," Jo Hyun Chul has a small resume of works. He's known for his remarkable performance in "D.P." with Jung Hae In.
With the addition of the two as supporting actors, it is expected that "Aema" will be more whimsical, chaotic and interesting.
