Nam Ji Hyun has accepted the offer for "Suspicious Partner" (formerly titled "Be Careful of This Woman"), costarring with Ji Chang Wook. Actor Choi Tae Joon has also confirmed his role in the drama.

The new mixed-genre legal thriller rom-com comes from the writer of I Remember You and tells the love story of a man and woman who are being chased by a killer. Nam Ji Hyun will play Eun Bong Hee, a judicial trainee and former Taekwondo athlete who finds herself a suspect in a murder case. Ji Chang Wook plays Noh Ji Wook, a young man who became a prosecutor to fulfill his father’s dreams. He carries a trauma from his past, and he’ll end up changing careers to become a private attorney. Choi Tae Joon will play an attorney who has been friends with Noh Ji Wook since childhood. Complicating matters is an amnesiac killer who keeps reenacting one crucial moment, and is out to kill our two leads.

"Suspicious Partner" is scheduled to follow "Saimdang, Light’s Diary" on Wednesdays and Thursdays in May.

This is the same drama that was originally courting Lee Sung Kyung, but she turned it down. I adored Nam Ji Hyun in Shopping King Louis, so I'm excited about this pairing. I trust the writer of I Remember You to give me something great. It's going to be hard to separate Choi Tae Joon with his Missing Nine character, but apparently he's real life BFFs with JCW so it's cute they get to be in a drama together.

lulz i don't think lee sung kyung turned it down, she was one of many actresses offered the role as said by the production company when lsk casting news first got out, and they also said they were trying to get han ji min to sign - if anything han ji min turned it down and they decided to just go with nam ji hyun instead of lsk.

I'll take it. I was fully on board with LSK but I can be down with this pairing as well.

I kind of want to see Ji Chang Wook in a cheesy romance drama but I get its not his thing.

Might give this a watch (but I'll probably skip the too serious parts of the storyline -- unless it's written particular well)

I still have to finish I remember you, i can't seem to get into it...even with my bae SIG in it.
NJH is a great actress, she'll do a good job. Hopefully this will be a great send-off drama for JCW (i actually thought K2 was his last project).
