The lineup for Genie TV original ‘Good Woman Busemi’ (directed by Park Yoo-young, written by Hyun Gyu-ri) has been revealed.

‘Good Woman Busemi’ is a crime romance about a poor bodyguard who enters into a contract marriage with a terminally ill conglomerate chairman, dreaming of a one-shot deal, during the three-month countdown until her life is reset. She must change identities and survive for three months while avoiding those who are after her huge inheritance. Based on a novel, it is a collaboration between drama ‘Kidnapping Day’ director Park Yoo-young and movie ‘Owl’ writer Hyun Gyu-ri. Jeon Yeo-bin, Jin Young, Seo Hyun-woo, Jang Yoon-ju, and Joo Hyun-young will star.

According to the production team, Jeon Yeo-bin plays the role of Kim Young-ran, the bodyguard for the owner of Gaseong Group. Kim Young-ran is a character from a poor family who has lived a miserable life because of money, but she is given the life of a fictional character named ‘Busemi’, who boasts luxurious specifications that are the complete opposite of her own. She is called the good woman Bu-semi and faces a 180-degree different life. Jeon Yeo-bin‘s unique challenge, which will be her new transformation into Kim Young-ran, is highly anticipated.

Jin-young plays the role of Jeon Dong-min, a single father who raises his son while farming strawberries in the countryside. He is the only person in the village who is wary of the perfect teacher Bu-semi (played by Jeon Yeo-bin), who has become his son’s new kindergarten teacher. Jin-young‘s appearance as a prickly but warm-hearted man who transforms from a villain to a hero in front of the fake kindergarten teacher Bu-semi, who has a fake identity, is drawing attention.

Seo Hyun-woo plays the role of Lee Don, the personal lawyer for the chairman of the family who will do anything for money. He is a case of a man who became a dragon from the stream with his brilliant mind, but he realizes the reality tainted by school ties and blood ties and tries to change his life with the determination to become an eel if not a dragon. I am curious about the character of Lee Don, a man who is the best at money, who will be born with Seo Hyun-woo’s delicate acting.

On the other hand, Jang Yoon-ju will transform her acting by taking on the role of Ga Seon-yeong, the stepdaughter of the owner of Ga Sung Group. Through Ga Seon-yeong, who is skilled in image making to the point of going to any lengths to get what she wants, she will show her duality, which is completely different on the outside and inside. Attention is focused on the cold and creepy character of Ga Seon-yeong that Jang Yoon-ju will portray.

Lastly, Joo Hyun-young plays Baek Hye-ji, who works as a helper at the Ga Sung Group owner‘s family’s mansion. Baek Hye-ji, who lives as a roommate with Kim Young-ran (played by Jeon Yeo-bin) in the annex of the mansion, has a natural and innocent side, but also an attitude that is hard to read. With Joo Hyun-young‘s versatile acting, she will show off her strong presence that is hard to predict.

The production team said, “We feel more secure that actors with talent, wit, and acting skills are working together,” and added, “In a materialistic society, we will present an unpredictable thriller surrounding money and desire, as well as a story where the scent of humanity coexists with excitement and warmth that money cannot buy, so please show a lot of interest and anticipation.”

‘Good Woman Busemi’ will be released in the second half of 2025 through Genie TV and ENA.
