Jung Woo makes his personal method in new Psychological Coach Jegal teaser
by missvictrix
All it takes is a wacky teaser to get my drama radar up, and tvN’s upcoming drama Psychological Coach Jegal (beforehand Psychological Coach Je Gal-gil) does simply that. Promotion for the therapeutic sports activities drama is in full swing, with the premiere a month away, and a determined want in dramaland for one thing humorous and uplifting.
The fundamental story is that our hero Jung Woo (Mad for Every Different) — the eponymous Je Gal-gil — was as soon as a nationwide taekwondo athlete. Now, after a fall from grace, he’s provided the place of a psychological coach for different struggling athletes. The brand new press stills present Gal-gil each in his athlete glory and later as a seemingly profitable coach. I’m unsure whether or not we’ll see his preliminary fall from grace (and the nationwide staff) real-time or by way of flashback, however both method it appears like one of the best components of Mad for Every Different in a wholly new setting.
The story’s heroine is performed by Lee Yumi (All of Us Are Lifeless), who performs ice princess and quick observe gold medalist Cha Ga-eul. However she winds up needing teaching by means of a tough spot in her life/profession, and that looks as if the purpose the place our characters intersect. And, offering there isn’t a romance shoe-horned in right here between the 2 (don’t even give it some thought, Present!), this has all of the markings of an exquisite platonic and therapeutic relationship.
Within the new teaser, we see Jung Woo doing what he does finest: being lovable and hilarious. Critically, you’ll be able to’t watch this and never love him. The idea is straightforward sufficient. His character hobbles over to a fence that’s acquired a giant NO ENTRY signal on it, with some added scribble that there’s no highway forward. However our hero doesn’t settle for that, and assaults the fence (hilariously), thus making his personal path. It’s a enjoyable intersection of bodily comedy and metaphor, as a result of that’s what the theme of the drama guarantees to be. The textual content screens within the teaser match the tagline on the newest poster: “I select the tempo and route of my very own life.” I believe I really like this present already!
Written by Kim Ban-di (Particular Labor Inspector Jo, Offended Mother) and directed by Sohn Jung-hyun (Ought to We Kiss First), the drama has mounted a premiere date for September 12, in tvN’s Monday-Tuesday slot.
