The third teaser video for KBS2’s new Wednesday-Thursday drama ‘My Girlfriend is a Real Man’ has been released.

KBS 2TV’s new Wednesday-Thursday drama ‘My Girlfriend is a Real Man’ (written by Lee Hae-na, directed by Yoo Kwan-mo), which will be aired for the first time on Wednesday, July 23rd, is based on the popular Naver webtoon ‘My Girlfriend is a Real Man’ (written by Masta).It is about a romantic comedy between Kim Ji-eun(played by Arin), who becomes a pretty boy overnight, and Park Yoon-jae(played by Yoon San-ha), a man who can’t give up on his girlfriend.

In relation to this, ‘My Girlfriend is a Manly Guy’ presented a ‘3rd teaser’ that contains the tangled relationships of Yoon San-ha, Arin, Yoo Jung-hoo, and Chuu and a story of great confusion.The 30-second ‘3rd teaser’ perfectly captures Park Yoon-jae’s confused feelings as his girlfriend Kim Ji-eun changes into the manly Kim Ji-hoon(played by Yoo Jung-hoo).Kim Ji-hoon thought of Park Yoon-jae acting cute while wearing a large ribbon headband and holding balloons, but Park Yoon-jae disappointed Kim Ji-hoon by saying, “Honestly, I don’t think it’ll be easy to continue being the same as before.” However, in the next scene, Park Yoon-jae leaned on Kim Ji-hoon’s shoulder in front of the emergency medical center, making his heart flutter.

Then, after the kiss scene between Kim Ji-eun and Park Yoon-jae, which was the ‘peak of romance’, passed by in a flash, Kim Ji-hoon suggested to Park Yoon-jae, “Let’s be friends until I turn back into a woman,” creating an unexpected bromance atmosphere.However, Kim Ji-hoon, who got up screaming, was distressed when he didn’t turn back into a woman, and Kang Min-joo(played by Chuu), who had an unusual reaction to Park Yoon-jae, grabbed the drunk Park Yoon-jae’s cheek and teased him, “You’re like soft, white tofu,” which angered Kim Ji-hoon.Kim Ji-hoon grabbed Kang Min-joo’s arm and warned him, “Yoon-jae has a girlfriend,” but Kang Min-joo provoked him, saying, “Is that a problem?” and instead, as if to show off, openly hugged Park Yoon-jae in front of everyone in the palace, shocking Kim Ji-hoon.

On the other hand, after the subtitle “Love can change, but people can’t,” the story of Kim Ji-eun and Kim Ji-hoon’s family and friends was included, emphasizing that “My Girlfriend is a Real Man” is not a simple love story.Kim Ji-hye(played by Choi Yoon-ra), who had a tattoo on her arm that looked exactly like Kim Ji-eun’s, showed her dependability by saying, “No matter what happens, we have to prove ourselves and trust each other.” Kim Ji-eun’s mother Lee Chun-hee(played by Do Ji-won)and father Kim Soon-ho(played by Lee Yoon-gun)warmly smiled at each other while making kimchi with fighting spirit, giving off a warm feeling.And the sight of Park Yoon-jae’s mother Kim Eun-sook(played by Jo Eun-sook)and father Park Il-jo(played by Kim Kwang-sik)becoming one in a dance of joy shone through with heartwarming familial love.

However, Kim Ji-hoon was embarrassed when his best friend Choi Yu-ri(Park Joo-won)blushed and confessed, “Let’s date,” upon seeing him as a man, and he was bitter after Park Yoon-jae said, “I need time,” and distanced himself.Finally, after the passionate kiss scene between Park Yoon-jae and Kim Ji-eun, Park Yoon-jae pushed Kim Ji-hoon against the wall and said, “Let’s try it too.Cheat key,” completing a super close two-shot, raising curiosity about the “gender-swap romance that goes beyond imagination.”

The production team said, “The ‘3rd teaser’ foreshadows the bizarre events that will occur due to the full-scale gender change, as well as the struggles of Yoon San-ha, Arin, Yoo Jung-hoo, and Chuu.” They added, “Please look forward to ‘My Girlfriend is a Manly Man,’ which people of all ages can enjoy.”

KBS 2TV’s new Wednesday-Thursday drama ‘My Girlfriend is a Real Man’ will premiere on Wednesday, July 23rd at 9:50 PM.
