 The popular TV drama “Rooftop Room Cat” will be turned into a play and staged from April 6 to May 30 at SM Tin Tin Hall in Daehangno, central Seoul.
Actor Lee Sun-ho, who is now garnering popularity for appearing in the variety show “We’ve Got Married” and actress Hwang Bo-ra will star in the stage version.
Lee will take the role of Kyung-min (played by actor Kim Rae-won in the drama) while Hwang will play Jung-eun (played by the late actress Jung Da-bin).
“Rooftop Room Cat,” based on an Internet novel written by the writer of the romantic drama “Full House,” touches upon friendship and love through a couple who is living together on the rooftop of an old building.
In the play, the couple will reside in a rooftop room in the year 2010. “Rooftop Room Cat” will not only focus on the romantic struggles of suffering youngsters but also show some of the hardship facing youth today.
The play will reinterpret the original story through the eyes of the youth living in 2010, called the “880,000-won generation,” a newly coined term referring to Korean youth who are unemployed or have temporary jobs, receiving low pay and living without job security.
The Aka Company said, however, the stage production will focus on the theme with a light, humorous touch.
Tickets cost 30,000 won. For more information, call (02) 501-7888.
