News from Ten Asia on January 9 said that Ji Chang Wook had recently been offered the major role in the new drama "The Mantis."

"The Mantis is a thriller about a woman who was jailed for being a serial killer a long time ago and what happens when someone copies her killing style and starts a string of murders."

People were interested in the project because it's a remake of the French thriller with the same name that came out on Netflix in December 2017.

Earlier, actress Go Hyun-jung made news when it was said she would play the major female role in the Korean remake of "The Mantis."

Merry Christmas and MegaMonster will work together to make the show.

So far as the plan stands, production will start in earnest this year.

Fans of JTBC's show "Welcome to Samdal-ri" are saying nice things about Ji Chang Wook's performance.

In this show, he plays Yong-pil, the soulmate who comforts Sam-dal (Shin Hye-sun) when she goes through hard times. This character brings both warmth and excitement to the fans.

Actress Kang Ye Won got emotional as she opened up about why she took a break from broadcasting and why she’s finally giving love a chance.

On the March 3 episode of tvN STORY’s Can I Love Now?, Kang Ye Won made her debut as a new participant looking for romance.

During the broadcast, she revealed that negative online comments had deeply affected her. "I used to cry all the time reading comments. I get hurt easily. What might be a small wound for others feels like a huge blow to me," she shared, expressing the stress she faced from malicious remarks.

She also admitted that at one point, she wanted to leave everything behind. "I kept thinking, ‘How long do I have to keep working this hard?’ and it became overwhelming."

She added, "At one point, I thought, ‘I should just quit everything and move to the countryside,’ and that idea actually gave me peace," she confessed.

When it came to dating, Kang Ye Won shared that she had always been content watching others fall in love.

"It never worked out for me. I wasn’t the type to ask for introductions either. I just found comfort in living as an observer. Maybe it’s my fate. I’m fearful, and I lack courage. If I feel like someone might hurt me, I block them out from the start," she admitted.

However, the actress revealed that she ultimately joined Can I Love Now? for her father. "My dad was born in 1943. He had me late in life, and his health isn’t great."

She added, "I realized that if I continue living alone like this, I won’t be able to give my parents any hope until the moment they pass away," she said with tears in her eyes. "My perspective on life has changed. I no longer think just about myself, but about my parents."

Kang Ye Won’s heartfelt confession touched many viewers, leaving fans rooting for her to find happiness.
