"Not Others" Premieres Today, Expect Cool Chemistry Between Mother-Daughter Jeon Hye Jin & Soo Young

Genie TV's original series Not Others, which premieres on the 17th, depicts the lively life of a house filled with the energy of a mother and daughter, like strangers, and their blossoming love. Let's examine some interesting points that make Not Others even more enjoyable.

1. Breaking the Clichés: A New Mother-Daughter Story

Not Others portrays the realistic dynamics of family relationships, often characterized as "wanting to be the other person but unable to." This drama delves into the stories of mothers and daughters that haven't been easily accessible in the domestic drama scene, exploring aspects that were often hesitant to be openly discussed in daily life.

Firstly, the mother character, Kim Eun Mi, differs from the typical tear-jerking, overly protective mother figures. Instead, she leads her life and protects her own life with a strong sense of autonomy. Rather than being an overprotective "helicopter mom" or a "kangaroo mom," she can be described as a "free-range mom."

Growing up under such an independent mother, Kim Jin Hee also possesses a unique personality. Kim Jin Hee has been both a guardian of her extraordinary mother and a housekeeper, sometimes even taking on the role of a husband. However, now she desires to establish a proper distance between herself and her mother.

The mother-daughter relationship in Not Others may be less tender and affectionate than typical stories of love overflowing with emotion. Nevertheless, their candid conversations will resonate deeply in our hearts. The drama brings us the most sincere dialogues, the honest and warm humor we wanted to speak and hear in our lives in 2023, and presents a true mother-daughter story filled with audacity.

2. Jeon Hye Jin, Choi Soo Young, Ahn Jae Wook, Park Sung Hoon, an Exciting Ensemble

Jeon Hye Jin, Choi Soo Young, Ahn Jae Wook, Park Sung Hoon, and other trusted actors come together in Not Others. Firstly, Jeon Hye Jin's charismatic and delicate performance is expected to perfectly portray the unique mother character, Kim Eun Mi. Choi Soo Young, who takes on the role of Kim Jin Hee, exudes confidence and cool energy, impressing the original author with a high level of synchronization with the character.

Furthermore, playing Park Jin Hong, Ahn Jae Wook will add excitement to the drama as he depicts a romantic relationship with Jeon Hye Jin. Park Jin Hong, a former ENT specialist pursuing an FM radio life, embarks on a youthful deviation for the first time at 48 after meeting Kim Eun Mi.

Lastly, in the role of Eun Jae Won, Park Sung Hoon brings a fresh love story and chemistry with Choi Soo Young. Eun Jae Won is initially burdened by the unexpected bombshell of being transferred to a demoted police station. Still, he will experience the emotions of an unpredictable romance that transforms from dislike to affection.

The synergy in Not Others promises to be exceptional with these trusted actors. We eagerly anticipate their stellar performances in this extraordinary drama.

3. A Beloved Webtoon Adapted into a Drama

Not Others is based on the popular Kakao webtoon of the same name by author Jeong Young Ryong. The webtoon has accumulated over 25 million views since its publication date and won the prestigious "Today's Our Manhwa" award, establishing a solid fan base.

While faithfully capturing the original work's essence, the drama version of Not Others introduces new adaptations. The drama has already garnered high expectations. Even before its premiere, various online communities are buzzing with comments such as, "I'm excited that my favorite webtoon is being adapted into a drama," "I enjoyed the webtoon, so I have high expectations for the drama," and "The webtoon was well-made, and now the drama has that same scent of quality." The emotional moment when beloved webtoon characters come to life is soon approaching.

Not Others will premiere on Genie TV, Genie TV Mobile, and ENA Channel on July 17th at 10 PM KST.
