The Penthouse’s Uhm Ki-joon joins Little Women cast

On April 29, Uhm Ki-joon’s agency, Your Entertainment, announced that the actor was confirmed to feature in tvN’s new thriller, Little Women. The 46-year-old will play the role of Park Jae-sang, an amateur politician who is secretly involved in an accident that impacts the three sisters’ lives.

Uhm Ki-joon’s character will play a vital role in the thriller and keep the viewers on the edge of their seats by creating more tension.

The three female leads in Little Women, Kim Go-eun, Nam Ji-hyun, and Park Ji-hu, will essay the roles of Oh In-joo, Oh In-kyung, and Oh In-hye, respectively.

As the eldest, In-joo knows the value of money and wants to do her best to protect her financially struggling family. The middle child, In-kyung, strives only to do what’s right and refuses to bow down to money. In-hye is the youngest child who is often worried and overwhelmed by her sisters’ love for her.

Wi Ha-joon also joined the Little Women cast in January. The Bad and Crazy star will play Choi Do-il, a consultant who graduated from a prestigious university in the United Kingdom. His charms will include his sophisticated personality and a sharp sense of judgment.

Uhm Ki-joon’s previous body of award-winning work includes the 2008 drama World Within, the 2011 drama Scent of a Woman, the 2017 drama Innocent Defendant, and the 2018 drama Heart Surgeons.

The star rose to superstardom with the makjang (exaggerated, over-the-top concept) drama The Penthouse: War in Life.

The Seoul native even has a cameo in Kim Young-dae and Lee Sung-kyung’s Shooting Stars.

Meanwhile, the main Little Women cast selection seems to have been completed. There has been no word on the estimated production start date yet.
