Actress Kim Hye-yoon, who turned into a Gumiho, returns with a romantic comedy that will go beyond "Bounce with Sunjae."

Producer Kim Jung-kwon, actors Kim Hye-yoon and Romon attended the production presentation of the new Friday-Saturday drama "I'm Human From Today" (scripted by Joo Chan-young and Cho A-young) at SBS Hall in Mok-dong, Yangcheon-gu, Seoul on the afternoon of the 16th.

"I'm a Human from Today" is a fantasy romance about the left-handed relief of a MZ Gumiho who doesn't want to be liver and a man with excessive self-love, Kim Hye-yoon plays the role of a Gumiho Eun-ho from Myohyangsan Mountain, and Romon plays world-class soccer player Kang Si-yeol.

Producer Kim described "I'm a human from today," as "a fairytale-like drama of adults," and said, "It's not just a typical cuteness, but after watching Saint-Exupery's "The Little Prince," don't you get a big cry?" If you watch our drama until the end, I think you will feel a good resonance of your own," he said.

He said, "I made my debut with the fantasy movie 'Agreed' and I looked back on my memory. What I had in mind in this casting was authenticity. The two actors acted more sincerely than I did, and I think a good drama came out as a result."

Kim Hye-yoon said of her feelings about returning to her next film after the drama "Bounce With Sunjae," which caused a syndrome, "When I'm acting, I always try to show you a different side from what I've shown so far."

"I thought there was a difference between Eun-ho in the play because he has a different charm from Sol (in "Bounce with Sunjae") because he is gorgeous." I've been filming for a year, but I'm looking forward to seeing the drama after a long time, so I'm looking forward to it. It's half expectation and half burden, but I hope you enjoy it," he added.

Romon said, "I'm truly honored to meet Kim Hye-yoon as my first Rocco counterpart," adding, "I could see why I was Rococo Queen throughout the shoot." That's how good he is, and it was good," he said, expressing his trust in Kim Hye-yoon.

He also said, "I prepare two or three things on the spot and accept everything I throw. If you throw it, it seems like the chemistry came out automatically. Your concentration is amazing, too. When you go into filming, you become Eun-ho and you cry right away. When I hear the cut sound, I come back as (Kim) Hye-yoon, and every moment of that was very cool," he praised Kim Hye-yoon.

In response, Kim Hye-yoon said, "I was younger than me, but I felt like an older brother a lot," adding, "(Romon) takes good care of me on the spot and is considerate. Whenever I was having a hard time, I took care of him by giving him nutritional supplements and chocolate. I really appreciate it," he replied.

All three seasons are also the follow-up to the highly popular "model taxi." In response, producer Kim said, "The model taxi is SBS's flagship drama and branded work," adding, "I also watched it while cheering as a big fan. After that, our drama was organized, so I personally feel a bit of pressure," he confessed.

"If you look at the entire SBS lineup, our drama is the first Friday-Saturday drama (2026), and in baseball, you gave us the role of the No. 1 hitter. In baseball, the role of the first hitter is important, so the goal is to get on base somehow. The production team and actors are all ready because they worked hard. As the No. 1 hitter, I will get on base," he said, expressing confidence.

Kim Hye-yoon also said, "It's an honor for our drama to be attached to the back of the work that was greatly loved. I'll try to get on base with this momentum," he said, and Romon strengthened his will by saying, "I'll take over this momentum and hit it."

Then, how is the Gumiho, played by Kim Hye-yoon, different from the Gumiho in previous Korean dramas. Kim Hye-yoon said, "The biggest difference is that Eun-ho is not a common Gumiho," adding, "I tried a colorful styling that maximizes the character Eun-ho." Until now, a person named Kim Hye-yoon has never been so glamorous, but Eun-ho will be very glamorous externally," he said.

Kang Si-yeol, who Romon played, is a world-class soccer player who only knows soccer and himself, and who is proud but not indolent. Romon said, "It's too much to say, and I'm sorry if football fans are offended. I learned the relentless energy from Son Heung-min and Zlatan," he said.

When asked to send a video letter to Son Heung-min, Romon also said, "It's too much pressure, but if you watch this video, I hope you have a happy new year." I was greatly helped to make Siyeol. Thank you from the bottom of my heart," he said.

He also mentioned the ratings pledge. Producer Kim said, "Since there are so many dramas these days, it is a time when only double-digit ratings are good," adding, "Of course, I am desperate to be able to shoot double-digit ratings, and to put it a little more, I hope to shoot 11.10% or 11.11%. November 10 is Kim Hye-yoon's birthday and November 11 is Romon's birthday. I slightly referred to it at other production presentations. I will follow the actors as a pledge," he said.

Kim Hye-yoon made a pledge, saying, "Why don't we do a popular release together?" and Romon said, "I will appear on SBS soccer entertainment show 'The Goal-bashing Women.' If you're watching, please accept it. I will go to support you," he said, making a different pledge.

Meanwhile, "I'm a Human from Today" will premiere at 9:50 p.m. on the same day.
