All eyes are on whether actress Kim Tae-ri will make a dramatic return to the small screen with a hit webtoon-based series.
On July 1, JTBC Entertainment News reported that Kim Tae-ri is set to star in the new drama I'm the Queen in This Life.
If finalized, this would mark her first drama in about three years since tvN's Jeongnyeon: The Star Is Born.
Based on the wildly popular Naver webtoon of the same name, I'm the Queen in This Life follows a heroine abandoned by everyone — her fiancé, her sister, and even her parents — who turns back time 15 years. Vowing revenge on those who ruined her life, she awakens to seize her own destiny and become queen, delivering a cathartic, take-no-prisoners revenge arc.
Anticipation is already soaring over the explosive synergy Kim Tae-ri — praised for her chameleon-like performances — could unleash in this high-stakes time-reset revenge drama.
Fans reacted with excitement, saying, "I loved the original webtoon — I'm so hyped," "A regression drama led by Kim Tae-ri? So fresh," and "Curious how they'll adapt it for TV."
Meanwhile, riding the buzz over Kim Tae-ri's casting news, I'm the Queen in This Life is slated to go through pre-production in the second half of this year and begin full-scale filming next year.
