It looks like we're going to add another series to our list of K-drama remakes because the popular American TV show, Jane The Virgin, will have a Korean spinoff!
Here's what we know *so far* about this upcoming drama:
What's the plot of Jane The Virgin?
Due to a medical mistake, Jane, a religious Latina virgin, suddenly becomes pregnant and her whole life turned topsy turvy. She was totally not prepared for this (she vowed to remain chaste until she gets married) but since what's done is done, Jane has to face this new chapter (and a loooot of plot twists) head-on. Jane The Virgin is loosely based on the Venezuelan telenovela Juana La Virgen and it ran for five seasons. The show was not only a hit in America but also in South Korea after it aired on Netflix! It also bagged numerous trophie, including Best Primetime TV Program for Comedy at the 2015 Imagen Awards.
Who are in talks to lead the Korean remake of Jane The Virgin?
According to JTBC, actress Im Soo Hyang (My ID Is Gangnam Beauty, Graceful Family.) is offered the role of Jane—the "daughter of a single mother who received her grandmother's premarital chastity education." She's also dating a man who understands what she believes in.
Another Korean actor who *might* join her in Jane The Virgin is Love (Ft. Marriage And Divorce) star Sung Hoon, who is poised to play the character of Raphael, the biological father of Jane's baby. He's a chaebol's son who survived cancer, and he divorced his wife after he found out that she's having an affair. The Korean version of Jane The Virgin was already planned in 2019 and Kim Jaejoong was initially offered this role. He turned it down because of "scheduling problems."
Once Soo Hyang and Sung Hoon accept this casting offer, Jane The Virgin will be their reunion project after a decade! They both starred in the 2011 K-drama New Tales Of Gisaeng.
