tvN's new Monday-Tuesday drama 'My Guilty Man', starring Im Si-wan and Seol In-ah, is generating significant anticipation. The series centers on a chaebol heir suspected of murder and a detective who infiltrates his life disguised as a male assistant to conduct a close-quarters investigation, sparking early buzz about their unique romantic dynamic.
Im Si-wan plays Yoon Yi-joon, the heir to Taegang Group and a murder suspect, while Seol In-ah portrays Kang Jae-hee, a special forces detective. Kang Jae-hee disguises herself as a man to become Yoon Yi-joon's assistant, and he, unaware of her true gender, gradually develops feelings for her. A recently released teaser shows Yoon Yi-joon attempting to confess his feelings, only for Kang Jae-hee to urgently stop him, stating, "I am a man right now," intensifying viewer curiosity.
Bloggers are highlighting the drama's fresh premise, which combines popular elements such as chaebol narratives, cross-dressing, undercover investigations, murder mysteries, and romance. There is particular excitement for Seol In-ah's cross-dressing character and her romantic chemistry with Im Si-wan. Many note that a cross-dressing romance, reminiscent of 'Coffee Prince', is a rare and intriguing setup in contemporary dramas.
