IN PHOTOS: Get to know the characters in 'Extra-ordinary You'
This November, GMA News TV brings comics to life in its latest K-drama offering, 'Extra-ordinary You.'
The series follows high school girl Dani (Kim Hye-yoon) who is a student at a prestigious academy. By chance, she discovers that she is a character in a comic book titled “Secret” and is only a side character with a lame set-up.
Not satisfied by her fate, she forges her own destiny by changing the story's plot and even goes against the will of an omniscient and omnipotent “Writer.”
Get to know Dani and all the characters in 'Extra-ordinary You' in this gallery:
Kim Hye-yoon
Kim Hye-yoon is a 23-year-old South Korean actress who debuted in 2013 as a supporting character. At the time, she focused on her studies after receiving a full scholarship at Konkuk University, one of Korea's leading universities, where she majored in film studies.
After graduating, she became known for her role in 'Sky Castle,' where she received massive success and won her Best New Actress at the 55th Baeksang Arts Awards.
Dani
Kim Hye-yoon's role as Dani in 'Extra-ordinary You' is her first leading lady role that earned her the New and Excellence Actress at the MBC Drama Awards.
Dani is a beautiful student and the only daughter of a wealthy family. She later finds out that she is inside a teen fiction comic book called "Secret."
Rowoon
K-pop idol Rowoon began his acting career when he appeared in the TV series 'School 2017.' He began receiving bigger roles afterward and was nominated for the New Actor award when he appeared in 'Where Stars Land' in 2018.

Like Kim Hye-yoon, 'Extra-ordinary You' is Rowoon's first leading role. Since appearing in the series, he was nominated at the MBC Drama Awards and was awarded Best News Actor.
In the series, he plays Number 13, a handsome student that Dani starts noticing and liking after he saves her multiple times. Unlike Dani, he is a nameless extra to the point that even the other characters are not aware of his existence.
