Former member of B1A4, actor Jung Jin-young will feature in the drama adaptation of the popular movie Miss Granny, as reported by Xports. He will co-star in the lead role with veteran actors Kim Hae-sook and Jung Ji-so.

According to the report, Young will play a former member of the band Ignis, Daniel Han. In addition to being a gifted producer and songwriter, he was the group's leader. His life is abruptly rocked when he encounters Oh Doo-ri, a character played by Jung Ji-so.

Park Yong-soon, known for directing dramas such as Secret Mother, Wanted, and Divorce Lawyer in Love, is directing the drama adaptation of Miss Granny. Writer Heo Seung-min, known for Risky Romance and There is a Bluebird, collaborated with Park Yong-soon on this project.

Originally released as a film in 2014, Miss Granny was a huge success with over eight million viewers. The drama adaptation has completed filming and will be released to viewers soon.


Miss Granny: Cast and plot

In the 2014 film Miss Granny, a grandmother, Oh Mal-soon, is magically turned into Oh Doo-ri, aged 20. She then lives her life to the fullest once more. The upcoming drama is based on the original comedy-drama film. Actors Jin-young and Jung Ji-so were revealed to be part of the cast.

Kim Hae-sook will reportedly portray Oh Mal-soon in the drama, the harsh yet lovable grandmother who receives a bonus that feels like a godsend and aspires to realize her unfulfilled ambition. She hopes to make her idol debut by joining an entertainment firm. Veteran actress Na Moon-hee portrayed this part in the original movie.

Jin-young plays Daniel Han, an entertainment producer in Miss Granny. Daniel used to be a popular group's leader. He is a master planner who has a natural flair for album themes, production, composition, and image-setting for the group. He's an ideal lead producer because of his expertise, intuition, and sharpness.

Daniel Han's life is completely flipped upside down when the reclusive Oh Doo-ri, played by Jung Ji-so, shows up. Jin-young's character is anticipated to have a significant impact.


The production team of Miss Granny praises Jin-young

According to the report by Xports, the production team of Miss Granny stated:

"Jinyoung is an actor who is attracting attention for his solid acting skills. He will appear in front of viewers with a fresh appearance that is different from the original movie."

As an actor, Jin-young has featured in dramas such as Love in the Moonlight, My First First Love 1 and 2, Police University, and Sweet Home Season 2, where the actor played Private Park Chan-young, a soldier guarding the safe house for humans.
