SYNOPSIS

A peculiar mermaid attempts to become a human in just 100 days to meet the human man she loves. Surplus Princess is a story about a mermaid who lives as a human in a world where unemployed people are not treated as people. For the story of a mermaid learning to live in the human world, Jo Bo Ah, On Ju Wan, Song Jae Lim, Nam Joo Hyuk, Kim Min Gyo, and Kim Seul Gi have been confirmed as the new cast.

CAST

Jo Bo Ah was cast as the mermaid princess, Hani, who longs to become human and gets into several comical situations during the process.

Oh Ju Wan will play Hyun Myung, an applicant preparing for employment. Rather than the arts or passion, Hyun Myung is a realist who puts importance in living day by day. He is expected to have a romantic relationship with Hani.

Song Jae Lim will play a narcistic and pretentious man. As he′s mostly been shown as a cold and stiff antagonist on both the big and small screens, Song Jae Lim′s new transformation is being anticipated.

Nam Joo Hyuk has been cast as a graduating university student who says he′s preparing for employment, but is actually just freeloading off of his parents′ money. Although he is living in a comfortable environment, he is a character that lacks his parents′ love.

The drama will follow the three of them as they suffer the daily grind and the hardships of the job search, with romance and fantasy to add a little whimsy to the proceedings.
