New Zio drama to air in Feb




Hard-bodied actor Oh Ji Ho has been cast in his next role — as a single dad, in the KBS2 drama 'Single Papa in Love'.
Oh costars with Kang Sung Yeon, who also appeared in the film The King and the Clown and the drama Let’s Get Married, in the drama about a man raising his son alone after being abandoned by his first love. By day he works as a pest exterminator, by night as a martial artist. The baby momma is played by Kang, a cold and proud woman who left her family to study abroad as a pianist.
Oh Ji Ho’s last drama 'Get Karl' may have flopped, but he fared well in 2006’s Fantasy Couple. And while there have been plenty of single-mom dramas and movies out there, the single-father angle has been explored much less frequently. Although, given how Oh’s character in Fantasy Couple was very nearly a single father (single uncle, raising three young nephews on his own), perhaps this role won’t seem so unfamiliar after all.
'Single Papa' will follow 'Bad Love' (starring Kwon Sang Woo) and airs in February.

Hi,

Thanks for the great work that you have done, I am so glad to see there is a Zio fan club in Singapore.

I read that Zio's current drams is suffering from low ratings, and I am amazed that a great drama like Get Karl did not get good ratings too!!

It is a shame if the show is good but the ratings are low due to bad timeslots. I think Get Karl is one of the best shows that I have seen, surpassing even Kim Sam Soon. I really hope we can start an online petition to show the people in the TV stations that Zio has a big fan base outside of Korea and prevent him from being dropped into obscurity. He is such a fantastic and talented actor, especially all that has happened to him last year, he has really picked himself up and honed his acting skills even better now! Keep up the great work Zio!!

Hi there,

Its great to see a Zio fan club here! I had watched Couple or Trouble (aka Fantasy Couple) and totally falls in love with the show. His co-star is really good too! Watched it 2 times and still loved it! Just finished with "Get Karl" , wowww.. he's getting better with his acting! His eyes really could "talk", when he's sad or angry or bitter.

I'm glad to have this blog to share with Zio's fans out there. Hope to hear more news about him.
