On July 10, 2024, the South Korean media outlet SPOTV NEWS reported that actor Lomon will be appearing in the upcoming fantasy drama Human Starting From Today. However, the actor's agency, Big Smile Entertainment, has not responded to the report. Meanwhile, another media outlet, Star News, reported that Shin Se-kyung will be appearing in the drama Human Starting From Today.
In response to the casting role, the actress's agency, The Present Company, stated to Ten Asia that the actress received an offer to star in Human Starting From Today and is positively considering it.
The upcoming drama Human Starting From Today will be helmed by director Kim Jung-kwon, known for shows like Love to Hate You, Lie After Lie, Are We in Love?, Heartbreak Library, and other dramas. It will be penned by screenwriters Park Chan-young and Cho Ah-young. Park Chan-young is known for the drama Best Chicken. Meanwhile, Binjiworks will handle the production of the upcoming series.
Lomon and Shin Se-kyung will reportedly chronicle the character of Kang Si-yeol and Gumiho Eun-ho in the upcoming drama
Human Starting From Today, also known as I Am A Human From Today, will depict a love-hate relationship between an outlandish and eccentric Gumiho (a nine-tailed fox in South Korean mythology) and an arrogant soccer star. The romance between the two polar opposite personalities will begin with bickering and flights and eventually transition to blooming love.
If Lomon and Shin Se-kyung accept the offer for the upcoming series, they will chronicle the characters Kang Si-yeol and Gumiho Eun-ho. Lomon will reportedly breathe life into the character of a star soccer player, Kang Si-yeol, who has a narcissistic personality and abundant self-love. He considers himself to be the best soccer player in the world. However, his life turns upside down when he encounters an eccentric Gumiho named Eun-ho.
Meanwhile, Shin Se-kyung is set to showcase a wicked yet entertaining side of herself through the portrayal of a wealthy MZ Gumiho, Eun-ho, with multiple hobbies. Unlike typical female gumiho, who used to seduce men and eat their livers to transform themselves into humans, Eun-ho lives a different life, avoiding men throughout her long life.
Eun-ho will flaunt her endless youth and beauty and avoid taking responsibility for anything. She has a sharp mind and treats the human world as a game where she would use her chance to enjoy things. The female Gumiho will refrain from carrying out good deeds and never show any desire to transform herself into a human.
Unfortunately, she transforms into a human after encountering soccer star Kang Si-yeol and faces an unwanted crisis. Soon, the duo starts having multiple fights and bickering and eventually falls in love with each other.
