The keyword for 2012 sitcoms is 'reverse casting'.

Sitcoms next year have recruited casts out of the usual expectations. Including Oh Dal-soo, Cha In-pyo and Kim Hye-ja, many of them have never been in sitcoms before and the plans is to bring forward 'reversal fun'.

Known as the master of comic acting, Oh Dal-soo has the lead role of SBS sitcom "Salamander Guru and the Gang" coming next year. It's about two thieves and Im Won-hee is being talked about as the his opposing partner.

This is also the first time since 2009 that Oh Dal-soo is appearing on home screens. He is about to show his comedy acting he's shown in movies so far through sitcoms.

Cha In-pyo, who is known for his gentleman-like atmosphere will try out sitcoms next year through KBS 2TV "I Need a Fairy". The production team is looking forward to his performance. He has done very serious and heavy mood acts in "King of Ambition" and "Gyebaek" recently, so his breaking down in the sitcom should be a taste of difference. His opposing partners are actresses Kim Ri-won-I and Hwang Woo Seul-hye.

Middle aged actress Kim Hye-ja is also heading out for sitcoms. She will be leading the fun things that happen in a family house in Cheongdam-dong in the general service drama "I Live in Cheongdam-dong".
