The new KBS2 Wednesday-Thursday drama ‘my girlfriend is a tough guy’ (written by Lee Hae-na, directed by Yoo Kwan-mo, produced by Studio N, Blossom Entertainment, Playground), which will premiere on the 23rd, is based on the popular Naver Webtoon ‘my girlfriend is a tough guy’ (by Matstar). The story unfolds a chaotic romance between the girlfriend Kim Ji-eun (Arin), who suddenly becomes a handsome boy, and the boyfriend Park Yoon-jae (Yoon San-ha), who cannot give up on such a girlfriend.
‘my girlfriend is a tough guy’ is directed by Yoo Kwan-mo, known for works like ‘police class’, ‘woman of 99 billion’, and ‘perfume’, and showcases the exceptional writing of Lee Hae-na alongside a fresh synergy from actors Yoon San-ha, Arin, Yoo Jeong-hoo, and Chu, making it a drama to watch closely in summer 2025.
In this regard, ‘my girlfriend is a tough guy’ presented the third teaser, which features the complicated relationships and chaotic storyline involving Yoon San-ha, Arin, Yoo Jeong-hoo, and Chu. The 30-second-long ‘third teaser’ captures Park Yoon-jae's dizzy feelings as his girlfriend Kim Ji-eun transforms into the tough guy Kim Ji-hoon (Yoo Jeong-hoo). Kim Ji-hoon, wearing a large ribbon headband and holding balloons, recalls the cute behavior of Park Yoon-jae, but Park Yoon-jae upset Kim Ji-hoon by saying, 'Honestly, I think it will be hard to stay the same as before.' However, in the next scene, Park Yoon-jae, who was in front of the emergency medical center, leans on Kim Ji-hoon's shoulder, creating a heart-fluttering moment.
Following the ‘climax of romance’ where Kim Ji-eun and Park Yoon-jae share a kiss scene, Kim Ji-hoon proposes to Park Yoon-jae, saying, 'Let’s be friends until I turn back into a girl,' adding an unexpected bro-mance vibe. However, when Kim Ji-hoon, who suddenly wakes up screaming, struggles because he doesn’t turn back into a girl, strong reactions from Kang Min-joo (Chu), who has a special crush on Park Yoon-jae, provoke Kim Ji-hoon's anger as she grabs Park Yoon-jae’s cheek while drunk and exclaims, 'You feel like soft, white tofu.' Despite Kim Ji-hoon warning, 'Park Yoon-jae has a girlfriend,' Kang Min-joo provocatively retorts, 'Is that a problem?' and openly hugs Park Yoon-jae in front of people at the Gyeongbokgung Palace, shocking Kim Ji-hoon.
Moreover, after a caption stating 'While love can change, people cannot,' the story of Kim Ji-eun, also known as Kim Ji-hoon, and her family and friends emphasizes that ‘my girlfriend is a tough guy’ is not just a simple love story. Kim Ji-eun's sister, Kim Ji-hye (Choi Yoon-ra), who tattooed her arm to match Kim Ji-eun's, proudly states, 'No matter what happens, we must prove and believe in each other.' The warm gaze exchanged by Kim Ji-eun's parents, Lee Chun-hee (Do Ji-won) and Kim Soon-ho (Lee Yun-gun), while cheerfully making kimchi radiates warmth. Additionally, the joyful dance of Park Yoon-jae's parents, Kim Eun-sook (Jo Eun-sook) and Park Il-jo (Kim Gwang-sik), showcases their family love.
However, Kim Ji-hoon feels awkward when his best friend Choi Yu-ri (Park Ju-won) sees him as a man and confesses, 'Let’s date,' leading to a bittersweet moment due to Park Yoon-jae’s comment, 'I need some time.' Finally, after a heartwarming kiss scene between Park Yoon-jae and Kim Ji-eun, Park Yoon-jae corners Kim Ji-hoon against the wall, suggesting, 'Let’s try this. Cheat key,' creating an intimate two-shot that raises excitement for the ‘mind-blowing gender-change romance.’
