KBS2 is gearing up to deliver a quirky and heartfelt romantic comedy with its new series “My Girlfriend Is the Man!”, officially set to premiere on July 23 at 9:50 p.m. KST.
Based on a popular webtoon of the same name, this offbeat and imaginative story revolves around a college couple navigating an outrageous twist of fate.
The plot centers on astronomy major Park Yoon Jae, played by ASTRO’s Sanha, who is madly in love with his girlfriend Kim Ji Eun, portrayed by OH MY GIRL’s Arin.
However, their relationship takes a dramatic and bewildering turn when Kim Ji Eun unexpectedly transforms into a man due to a rare hereditary gene.
She adopts a new identity as Kim Ji Hoon, played by newcomer Yoo Jung Hoo, throwing their once-straightforward love story into comically chaotic territory.
As if things weren’t complicated enough, the transformed Kim Ji Hoon captures the heart of Kang Min Joo, a popular student on campus, played by beloved idol Chuu.
This tangled web of identities and affections sets the stage for a unique and refreshing take on romance, gender identity, and self-discovery.
KBS has released the first official poster for the drama, giving fans a cheeky glimpse into the love triangle at the heart of the story.
The visual shows Park Yoon Jae caught in a flustered embrace by both versions of his girlfriend—Ji Eun and Ji Hoon—perfectly capturing the surreal emotional whirlwind ahead.
“My Girlfriend Is the Man!” will take over the timeslot of the currently airing drama “The First Night with the Duke,” starring Girls’ Generation’s Seohyun and 2PM’s Taecyeon.
With its unique premise, a cast of rising stars, and the backing of a successful webtoon, the new drama is already generating significant buzz.
KBS’s decision to adapt such an unconventional storyline reflects the growing trend in Korean television of embracing more diverse narratives that challenge traditional romantic tropes.
As fans eagerly count down the days until its premiere, “My Girlfriend Is the Man!” promises not just laughs and love, but also a deeper look at identity, relationships, and the meaning of connection beyond appearances.
Viewers can expect a rollercoaster of emotions, witty dialogues, and endearing performances that will keep them hooked from the first episode.
With an ensemble cast featuring popular idols and actors, the drama is poised to be a standout in KBS’s 2025 lineup.
