Leading entertainment company CJ ENM has revealed that its upcoming drama Delightfully Deceitful will be released in Japan on U-NEXT immediately after it airs on the CJ ENM-owned K-content channel tvN and TVING OTT service in Korea.
Produced by CJ ENM’s production arm Studio Dragon, Delightfully Deceitful is about a story that brings two extraordinary individuals, who exist on opposite ends of the emotion spectrum, together while embarking on a thrilling scheme for revenge.
Chun Woo-hee stars as Lee Ro-eum, a born genius blessed with outstanding memorisation skills. Falsely accused of a murder, she becomes an apathetic fraud with the goal of revenge.
