Kim Hye-yoon transforms into a ‘gumiho’.

She will be creating a buzz by taking on the role of a gumiho in the new SBS drama ‘I‘m Human Starting Today’, scheduled to air in the second half of the year.

She will continue the global popularity and interest she gained through her previous work ‘Seonjae’s Pick-up and Run’.

‘I‘m Human Starting Today’ is about a gumiho who refuses to become human and a star soccer player who prioritizes himself over the team. Director Kim Jung-kwon of ‘Maestra’ and ‘Daejeon’ will be directing.

Kim Hye-yoon plays the role of Eun-ho, a gumiho with a unique personality who enjoys her unchanging youth without becoming human.

More than anything, the reason why this role is drawing attention is that it continues the ‘Genealogy of the Gumiho’, which is a means for actresses to transform their images and a ‘straight course’ to become top stars.

Previously, Ko So-young, Kim Hee-sun, and Shin Min-a each played the role of a gumiho in their leading roles and gained huge popularity.

The gumiho that Kim Hye-yoon transforms into is different from the existing ‘foxes’. Instead of being a gumiho who seduces men and eats their livers to become human, she is a ‘eccentric’ who avoids men and does good deeds in case she becomes human.

Kim Hye-yoon’s cute and lovable charm is expected to be fully captured in ‘I‘m Human from Today’, which depicts the story of this unique gumiho.

It also draws attention by highlighting the ‘romantic comedy’ and ‘hello’ romance, which are the box office hit codes of K-drama. The role of Kim Hye-yoon and her bickering partner is played by Romon, who rose to stardom through ‘Now at Our School’ and ‘Family Plan’.

He plays the role of a striker for a famous foreign soccer team with strong narcissism and has an extreme confrontation with the gumiho.
