Haeundae Lovers

The drama is the next project from City Hunter and New Heart writer Hwang Eun-kyung, and the story sounds kind of awesome. Kim Kang-woo will play Lee Tae-sung, the best elite force detective in the WORLD (okay, I made that last part up) who goes undercover to infiltrate a crime family in Haeundae (Busan), and then gets into an accident and loses his memory. But because he’s undercover, the identity he recovers is the wrong one — the gangster identity that he falsified, not his actual cop one. Oh noes! That’s awesome! So it’s Infernal Affairs, the funny version?

And then Jo Yeo-jung plays the mob boss’ daughter, Go Sora. So he must fall for her thinking he’s just one of her father’s thugs, only he’s actually the guy trying to put Daddy away for life. Oh man, the conflict and the hijinks just write themselves. I can’t wait to see Kim Kang-woo play this character; even if played straight it’ll be funny because the situation is so broad.
