On Jan. 15, the production unveiled first-look stills of Lee Si-woo, Jang Dong-joo, Kim Tae-woo, and Choi Seung-yoon―four players set to supercharge the show’s reality-meets-fantasy world with messy relationships and twisty, unpredictable arcs.
“Human from Today” spins a fresh fantasy-romance about a gumiho who has zero interest in becoming human and a gloriously self-absorbed mortal. Expect a playful, fast-paced ride that blurs the line between real life and imagination, all set in a gumiho universe we haven’t seen before. Adding to the buzz: the instant rom-com chemistry between leads Kim Hye-yoon and Lomon.
While the uncanny romance between the gumiho Eun-ho (Kim Hye-yoon) and world-class soccer star Kang Si-yeol (Lomon) takes center stage, the newly released photos spotlight a quartet who drive a powerful secondary storyline.
First up is Geum-ho (Lee Si-woo), striking in elegant hanbok. A fellow gumiho and Eun-ho’s deep-rooted past connection, Geum-ho was closer than family to her. But his path after becoming human ended in tragedy―an outcome that made Eun-ho swear off humanity altogether. Rising actor Lee Si-woo, seen in "My Lovely Liar" and "Money Heist: Korea - Joint Economic Area," steps in as Geum-ho to unravel a mysterious, secret-laced backstory.
Jang Dong-joo’s Hyun Woo-seok also grabs attention with stills that contrast past and present. Before Kang Si-yeol became a global star, he was just another youth player―while Woo-seok was the prodigy, a former youth national standout destined for greatness. Then a freak accident derailed everything, leaving him cut from even Korea’s fourth division. Known for steady, nuanced turns across film and TV, Jang promises a dynamic, layered performance as Woo-seok.
Meanwhile, the addition of veteran Kim Tae-woo raises the stakes. He plays Jang Do-chul, a mysterious shaman relentlessly hunting the gumiho Eun-ho, injecting razor-wire tension into the narrative. His unreadable gaze and an icy smile as he unsheathes an ominous blade suggest a chilling intensity. Why is he chasing gumihos―and what dark tie binds him to Eun-ho? The secrets around Do-chul only deepen the intrigue.
Rounding out the lineup, Choi Seung-yoon’s Lee Yoon is instantly legible―from his cool, cocksure grin to a hair-trigger temper. A fourth-generation chaebol brat who believes money can fix anything, he’s Eun-ho’s VIP client and a magnet for trouble, summoning her at the worst possible times. As the drama’s core villain, Choi is primed to make a formidable impression.
Director Kim Jung-kwon teased, “I can’t say everything yet, but I’m confident Lee Si-woo will win over many hearts by the end. Jang Dong-joo brought his signature depth and anchored a crucial pillar of the story. We’re grateful for every actor’s commitment―please keep an eye on their performances and these characters’ journeys.”
“Human from Today,” following "Taxi Driver 3," premieres Jan. 16 at 9:50 p.m. KST on SBS.
