Uhm Jung-hwa and Song Seung-heon are reuniting after a decade, following their proven on-screen chemistry in the 2015 film “Wonderful Nightmare”. This time, they return for “My Troublesome Star”, a heartwarming and humorous romantic comedy set to premiere on ENA on August 18.
The drama follows Bong Cheong-ja, Korea’s top star, who suddenly finds herself transformed into an ordinary middle-aged woman overnight. Having lost 25 years of memories, she must navigate the challenges of reclaiming her place in the spotlight. Supporting her is Dok Go-chul, a maverick traffic police officer who disguises himself as her manager while aiming for a return to the violent crimes division.
Both leads have expressed strong affection for the project. Uhm Jung-hwa described it as “fun and meaningful”, praising the cast and production team’s dedication. Song Seung-heon called it a “drama full of humor, joy and heartfelt moments”, adding that he was thrilled to work with Uhm again after so long.
Directed by Choi Young-hoon (One the Woman, Good Casting) and written by Park Ji-ha (Miss Night and Day), the drama brings together a creative team with a track record of audience favorites. Uhm takes on the role of legendary star Im Sera (Bong Cheong-ja), who vanished from the entertainment scene and awakens decades later, determined to stage an emotional comeback. Song plays Dok Go-chul, whose unexpected encounters with Cheong-ja lead to dramatic and comedic twists.
Their reunion has fueled anticipation, with fans eager to see if the duo can surpass ENA’s previous record-breaking hit “Extraordinary Attorney Woo”. Interest spiked after the first teaser, released July 16, surpassed 960,000 views, showcasing Im Sera’s disbelief at her sudden aging and Cheong-ja’s comical yet poignant struggle to accept reality.
“My Troublesome Star” promises a mix of laughter, romance and touching moments, exploring how love and resilience can shine even at life’s turning points. The drama will air its first episode on August 18, exclusively on ENA.
