Appearing in KBS drama "Again, My Love"

Actress Park Ye-jin, who has been popular for her candidness on a reality entertainment program, is now playing a totally opposite role in a drama series.

In KBS 2TV's Wed-Thurs series "Again, My Love" (script Jo Hee, producer Kim Jong-chang), which first aired on Wednesday, Park plays the intellectual and beautiful news anchor Choi Yun-hui. The ambitious Hillary Clinton wannabe is miles apart from her persona in the hit SBS entertainment show "Family Outing".

In the drama's recent presentation event, she clearly drew a distinction between the two: "In 'Family', I show off my jolly side as I mingle with the other cast, but the drama character is completely different. I will work hard to digest the role".

Park is truly enjoying her popularity from her role in "Family" these days, but she actually debuted a decade ago in the 1998 horror flick "Memento Mori".

Park said, "I'm just returning to my original gig, acting, so there's no dif...| More

Veteran actors, with their impeccable acting and experience, are returning to the small screen, recently dominated mainly by good-looking younger people. Some of Korea's favorite actors are getting together to bring the life, love and passion of middle-aged men and women to the small screen with the drama "Again, My Love" on KBS.

Actors Park Sang-won, Choi Myeong-gil and Jeon In-hwa are famous for their acting, and viewers will have the chance to see them perform together for the first time in the 24-episode series.

"We will show more mature, perhaps even reckless relationships through the drama", Park said at a press conference last week.

Park, 49, is known as one of Korea's best male actors, with his soft smile and charismatic roles in hit dramas like "Sandglass" (1995) and "The Legend" (2007). Choi, 46, made it big with the hit drama "Last Empress" (2001) as Empress Myeongseong of the Joseon Kingdom (1392-1910), while Jeon, 43, is also fa...| More

Tonight viewers face two choices: tune into the escapades of a strikingly handsome knight or go for a brand new melodrama.

For the past two weeks, ancient Korean hero Iljimae of MBC's "Iljimae Returns - Moon River" has been winning the Wednesday and Thursday night miniseries ratings race. Now, the competition is heating up with a new series joining tonight's line-up.

Titled "Again, My Love", KBS' latest installment takes Korean dramas back to their roots, with a twist. Instead of the usual tortured love triangle, "Again, My Love" centers on an unconventional quintet of stars.

Rising celebrities Park Ye-jin and Jeong Kyeo-woon and veterans Choi Myeong-gil, Park Sang-won and Jeon In-hwa weave a web of deceit, betrayal, and yes, adultery in the 24-episode series.

"I have done a lot of conventional family melodramas", said director Kim Jong-chang of the hit series "My Rosy Life" (2005) at a press conference Thursday.
