Choi Jung Yoon's role and Suh Ji Suk's role first meet when he asks her to chase after the run-away man by car. She has a nose-bleeding because she is a beginner driver. Even though her nose is bleeding, she still shows her fighting spirit (투혼, 鬪魂) unselfishly. Choi Jung Yoon shows her comical acting skill by presenting her tangled hair and nose-bleeding face, which is 180 degree different from her existing feminine image.

Actor Suh Ji Suk will play the role Lee Han (이한) in the tvN Wednesday-Thursday drama “Manny (매니)”.
The title “Manny” is the combination of two words ‘Man’ and ‘Nanny’ which means a male nanny. ‘Manny’ was first introduced through the famous American TV series “Friends”.
This romantic-comical drama is scheduled to be aired in mid April portraying the rushing and dashing (좌충우돌, 左冲右突) story between the most haggard ‘manny’ who was from New York and the single Mom with 2 kids by living together.
Suh Ji Suk plays the best Manny from New York and has the combination of haggard and arrogant personality. He has received childcare and cooking trainings for playing his role in this drama.
Suh Ji Suk says, “This compelling character seems to be the Number 1 charming ‘Manny’ in South Korea. His masculine charisma will attract female TV viewers.”

Below are Jisuk’s answers to the interview:
“There is not much information to be found on Internet about ‘Manny (Man + Nanny)’ and no reference to actor performing this character either.”
“Although I have not been influenced by people, I had received sports trainings since I was a kid.”
“The most important function of Manny is to be related to the children. Adults should not only appease the kids but also play with them, which relate to kids directly.”
“I like children and puppies the most. Sometimes, they are better than girlfriends.”
“I said that I should be able to raise my children after I read this drama scripts which are like the helpful text books.”
“So far, 8 out of 10 women I dated are older than me. None of them are younger than me. They are either older than me or at the same age as mine.”
“Therefore, I’d like to date a woman who is younger than me. I’d like to marry to a woman younger than me as well.”
Byun Jung Soo comments, “In fact, Suh Ji Suk is the type of man liked by women older than him because his eyes stimulate maternal instinct.”
