'My Guilty Human' production team expressed confidence in its unique appeal.

On the afternoon of the 16th, a press conference for tvN's 'Creator Talk 2026' was held at CJ ENM Center in Sangam-dong, Mapo-gu, Seoul. Attendees included Park Sang-hyuk, head of the Media BU under CJ ENM's Platform Business Division; Jang Shin-ae, CP of the new drama '100 Days of Lies'; director Ham Seung-hoon, co-director of 'Gift'; Kim Ho-jun, CP of 'My Guilty Human'; Hong Jin-ju, PD of the variety show 'Undercover Chef'; and Bang Geul-i, PD of the 'Iron Girl Squad' series.

On this day, Kim Ho-jun CP stated regarding 'My Guilty Human', which has been scheduled as tvN's new Monday-Tuesday drama: "When I heard it was about a chaebol, I worried whether audiences would be immune to such stories. However, the work offers a unique flavor that is both familiar and different. It combines familiar and unfamiliar tastes, incorporates a significant amount of BL (Boys Love) code for added entertainment, and ultimately delivers the catharsis typical of romantic comedies."

He continued: "Based on a webtoon, its most exciting point was this. While I have worked on many rom-coms, they often follow a predictable pattern where the 'kiss scene' leads to a loss of momentum once love is fulfilled, making it challenging from a producer's perspective. However, 'My Guilty Human' blends thriller and romance elements, leaving plenty to discuss even after the midpoint. As a complex genre work with diverse themes and items, I felt it was rich in weaponry."

Kim Ho-jun CP also revealed details about casting Lim Si-wan and Seol In-ah. He said: "Given its unique setting, the casting bar was high. For Lim Si-wan, who plays a cautious character like Goyang, it took nearly a year to finalize his casting. As CP, I made only one request: 'Let's create a male lead character in a rom-com that has never been seen before.'"

Regarding Seol In-ah's casting, he added: "When thinking of iconic cross-dressing female characters, many would recall Go Eun-chan from 'Coffee Prince' (2007), portrayed by Yoon Eun-hye. We decided to challenge Seol In-ah to reinterpret that role. I urged her to finish meetings quickly and head straight to the salon. Through this process of diligently matching her physicality, she delivered an outstanding performance. It became clear how comfortable it is when a female actress uses her body effectively. Seol In-ah's action scenes without stunt doubles are truly powerful."

'My Guilty Human' (script by Moon Soo-jeong, directed by Park Dan-hee) is based on the popular web novel and webtoon 'Why Don't You Know I'm a Woman?'. The drama follows the intense thriller romance between Yoon Yi-jun (played by Lim Si-wan), an arrogant third-generation chaebol accused of murder, and Kang Jae-hee (played by Seol In-ah), a special forces veteran who goes undercover as his personal secretary. The first episode will air on October 19 at 8:50 PM.
