Actor Kim Ji Hun is preparing to return to the small screen with an upcoming TV CHOSUN drama, “Sigor Amour” (literal title).
The production has officially announced its full cast lineup, bringing together several familiar faces, including Park Ju Hyun, Kwak Si Yang, Jo Jae Yoon, and Kim Ye Won.
The drama is scheduled to premiere in January 2027, raising anticipation among viewers ahead of its broadcast.
The newly announced lineup joins Kim Ji Hun, whose casting was previously confirmed.
Set around the lively Myeongsan Market, the series will explore the lives, relationships, conflicts, and unexpected connections of people from different backgrounds.
With a mix of romance, comedy, and drama, “Sigor Amour” is expected to present an engaging story centred on the people who make up the local market community.
Kim Ji Hun will lead the series as Ki Ho Tae, a debt collection lawyer who believes that money can solve almost every problem.
However, an unexpected incident brings him to Myeongsan Market, where his life begins to take an unexpected turn.
The character is expected to reveal contrasting sides, moving between a sharp, difficult personality and a warmer, more compassionate nature.
Park Ju Hyun and Kwak Si Yang Join Kim Ji Hun in Key Roles
Park Ju Hyun will portray Hong Mi Jin, the acting owner of Jinmi Butcher Shop at Myeongsan Market.
Described as a determined woman with a strong will to survive, Mi Jin is someone who cannot tolerate injustice.
Her personality frequently puts her at odds with Ki Ho Tae, whose belief that money can resolve everything stands in direct contrast to her values.
The two characters are expected to develop a lively relationship filled with arguments and clashes.
Their constant disagreements will gradually evolve into a bickering romance, adding a romantic element to the series.
Their contrasting personalities are likely to become one of the central attractions of the storyline.
Kwak Si Yang will take on the role of Kwak Jung Beom, a Harvard-educated architecture and landscaping expert.
Coming from a privileged background, Jung Beom is an ambitious elite who becomes involved in a tense rivalry with Ki Ho Tae over Hong Mi Jin, his junior from university.
His character is expected to introduce another layer of romantic tension and competition.
Jo Jae Yoon will portray Kim Il Bong, the powerful chairman of the Myeongsan Market Merchants’ Association.
Known as the story’s ultimate villain, Kim Il Bong will face off against Ki Ho Tae, creating conflict and tension throughout the drama.
Meanwhile, Kim Ye Won will appear as Bae Ju Mi, a Pilates instructor who has earned a reputation as the market’s official troublemaker.
Her quirky, unpredictable, and cheerful personality, combined with her particular interest in Ki Ho Tae, is expected to bring humour and energy to the story.
Veteran Cast Members Bring Myeongsan Market to Life
In addition to the main cast, “Sigor Amour” has assembled several experienced actors to portray the colourful residents and business owners of Myeongsan Market.
Their individual stories are expected to contribute to the drama’s portrayal of everyday relationships, personal struggles, and the joys and difficulties of community life.
Park Sang Myun will play Yoo Jung Deuk, the CEO of Jeil Produce, while Im Won Hee has been cast as Jo Deok Byung, who runs King’s Rice Cake Shop.
Yoon Bok In will portray Noh Sun Deok, the owner of Rose Chicken, adding another familiar face to the market’s community.
So Hee Jung will take on the role of Lee Sook Ja, who operates the Palpal Health Center.
Park Joon Myun, meanwhile, will appear as Jung Eun Sil, a vegetable street vendor.
Through these characters, the series will introduce viewers to people with different personalities, backgrounds, and experiences, creating a broader picture of life in and around the market.
With Kim Ji Hun and Park Ju Hyun leading the story alongside Kwak Si Yang and an experienced supporting cast, “Sigor Amour” is shaping up to be an ensemble-driven drama.
Its combination of romantic rivalry, colourful market characters, and personal turning points will form the foundation of the upcoming series.
TV CHOSUN’s “Sigor Amour” is scheduled to premiere in January 2027.
Viewers can look forward to seeing how Ki Ho Tae’s unexpected arrival at Myeongsan Market changes his life and affects the people he encounters there.
