Here were are, Revolutionary Love starring Choi Si Won (She Was Pretty) and Kang So Ra (Misaeng). It's a tvn dramas which tells a story of a chaebol with a hidden identity and a hardworking but dirt-poor heroine. Choi Si Won plays the chaebol heir who’s out to prove that he’s more than just his family name. His leading lady will be played by Kang So Ra, and his secretary-cum-shadow who dreams of surpassing him will be played by Gong Myung (Bride of the Water God 2017). Third-generation chaebol Siwon disguises himself as an unemployed slacker, but having been spoon-fed his entire life, he obviously possesses zero survival skills. He moves into Kang So Ra’s neighborhood, where all the working-hard-but-getting-nowhere youths live in their tiny one-room apartments.
In the teaser, we see that Si Won has no relevant work experience or certificates, but he has the one thing that is worth more than both: a powerful family. It’s written on his resume that his father is the CEO and his brother is the general manager for the company they’re all applying for, Kangsu Group. Despite his complete naivety at basic life skills and his narcissism, he has a bright personality, which will make it hard to hate him.
On the other hand, we have Kang So Ra’s resume, which is filled with a variety of certificates—everything from farm technician to food manufacturing. However, the actual experience she has is only through part-time jobs like waitressing and working at a construction site. Despite her chock-full resume, she’s still a full-time part-timer. In her voiceover portion, she says, “People like us who have nothing must keep our heads on straight and live with a determined mindset.”
Gong Myung is both Siwon’s best friend and the responsible one who gets him out of trouble every time. He has a first-class resume, having aced language tests despite never having stepped foot in a different country. His work experiences are also stellar, showing that he works at the secretarial office for Kangsu Group, but it looks like he’s also suffering on the inside due to his low family status. In previous synopses, his father was said to be the chauffeur of Siwon’s father, and that he strives to break out of the “servant” class and be on equal terms with Siwon. He closes the teaser by saying “I will endure whatever insults come my way.”
I am pretty satisfied with the casting as Choi Si Won is a perfect fit for comedy drama. He has those skills to make himself pretty amusing to watch. Meanwhile, Kang So Ra remains low profile even though she dates a famous actor, Hyun Bin. It would be interesting to see how she will manage to do her acting without bringing the dating rumors. Actually it's a bit surprising for me to hear that she dates Hyun Bin as they are not even that close. But who knows, because fate brings them together, even after years Hyun Bin has broke up with Song Hye Kyo (and she is getting married soon at the end of this month). Well, anyway, both actors have such credible experience and I am quite looking forward to see their acting.
