This tale is currently just one plot for the upcoming MBC-TV drama series "The Good Woman and the Bad Woman", which airs its first episode in the New Year. But one actress involved in the project might consider the story line a bit too close to her own personal life. Choi Jin-sil, 38, is coming back to prime-time television as the "Good Woman" who has to put up with an unfaithful husband, his daughte...| More
