It appears there may be big news for fans of the 2023 youth drama Bitch x Rich!
Missing Crown Prince actor Kim Min Kyu may soon be joining the cast of the hit series for its highly anticipated second season.
On November 5th, the 23-year-old actor’s agency, Kang Entertainment, confirmed to Korean news outlets that the actor is “positively reviewing” an offer to join the drama, fueling speculation about the role he might play.
What is the plot of Bitch x Rich?
For those who haven’t yet watched the first season, Bitch x Rich is a high-stakes, suspenseful thriller that follows Kim Hye In (played by Lee Eun Saem), a student from a poor family, and the only witness to a brutal murder at her high school.
The story kicks off with her transferring to the prestigious Cheongdam International High School, where she is offered a place just to keep her quiet about what she knows.
But she soon finds herself entangled with the powerful and mysterious Baek Jenna (Ye Ri).
Interestingly too, while the first season dove into dark secrets, high-society drama, and a gripping mystery that kept viewers on the edge of their seats, it was also notable for a huge number of people rooting for the bully instead of the protagonist for much of the show.
After all, the latter was written to be so unlikeable.
Season 1, however, was still a decent hit, so fans have been eagerly awaiting news about Season 2.
Along with Kim Min Kyu possible joining the Bitch x Rich, Season 2 cast, multiple sources are also confirming key cast members from the first season, including Lee Eun Saem, Ye Ri, and Lee Jong Hyuk, are all reportedly in talks to return for the second season.
If that does happen, it could mean the drama will be continuing with more of its familiar faces and their intense rivalries on show for all to see.
