Why Kim Da-som's New Drama Role Has Fans Hyped

Kim Da-som is Back and She's Playing a Bulldozer Character

The moment casting news dropped, fans knew exactly what kind of energy this role was going to bring. Kim Da-som is officially back — and not in a quiet, reserved way. Her new drama “Baby, We’re Having a Baby” is already being labeled a must-watch, and we haven’t even hit premiere week yet.

This isn’t just another rom-com comeback. It’s bold, messy, funny, and unapologetic — the kind of character-driven chaos Gen-Z viewers eat up. And Da-som is stepping straight into the center of it.

Kim Da-som Is Back — and She’s Playing a Bulldozer Character

Here’s the headline: Kim Da-som has been cast in Channel A’s upcoming Saturday drama “Baby, We’re Having a Baby”, premiering January 17 at 10:30 PM. The series is already gaining buzz for its unconventional setup and high-energy cast.

The drama is a reverse-romance romantic comedy based on a popular webtoon and web novel. It follows two people who swore off marriage — until a one-night stand flips their lives upside down. Yes, it’s chaotic. And yes, that’s exactly why fans are excited.

Hwang Mi-ran Is Basically Da-som’s Power Zone

Da-som plays Hwang Mi-ran, a brutally honest, bright, and fearless friend character who says exactly what she thinks — no filter, no hesitation. When asked why she chose the role, her answer made perfect sense.

She shared that she was immediately drawn to Mi-ran’s honest, positive energy and was curious about how the original webtoon and web novel would translate into a live-action drama.

It’s a role that aligns perfectly with Da-som’s strengths. From projects like Salon de Holmes, Could It Be Fate?, and The Season of Kokdu, she’s consistently shown she knows how to stand out — even in ensemble casts.

“The character’s honest, bright, and positive energy drew me in immediately.”

The Friendship Chemistry Is Already a Selling Point

For fans who love strong female dynamics, this drama is already delivering. Da-som’s Mi-ran shares a close friendship with Jang Hee-won, played by Oh Yeon-seo — and their scenes are expected to be chaotic in the best way.

Da-som explained that while she personally relates to Hee-won as a character, Mi-ran herself is more uninhibited, more aggressive, and far more expressive than she is in real life. That contrast is exactly what makes the character pop on screen.

She also revealed that Oh Yeon-seo is the mood-maker on set, which explains why fans are expecting their chemistry to feel natural, fast-paced, and genuinely funny.

Scenes Fans Should Absolutely Watch For

Da-som highlighted the scenes where Mi-ran openly expresses her feelings and makes bold moves toward her love interest Min-wook, played by Hong Jong-hyun. These moments, she says, really capture Mi-ran’s honest and confident personality.

In other words: expect direct confessions, zero hesitation, and a lot of forward energy. If you love characters who don’t wait around, Mi-ran is about to be your favorite.

The rest of the cast adds even more weight — with Choi Jin-hyuk as Kang Doo-jun and Oh Yeon-seo as Jang Hee-won. Direction comes from Kim Jin-sung, known for balancing humor and tension in previous projects.

Why This Drama Feels Like a Full Package

Da-som summed it up best herself. The drama blends reverse romance, friendship dynamics, emotional bonds, and straight-up comedy into one story.

You’re not just getting romance. You’re getting friendship, chaos, growth, and moments that actually feel lived-in — which is exactly why fans are already hyped.
