MBC is enjoying top ratings with the hit period drama "Queen Seon-deok", and the broadcaster is expected to continue captivating viewers with its new sitcom "High Kick Through The Roof" and dramas "No Limit" and "Assorted Gems" (aka "Jewel Bibimbap").

"No Limit" made headlines when it was confirmed that U-Know from the popular boy group TVXQ would appear as the ambitious football player Cha Bong-gun.

It will be the first time for the 23-year-old singer to appear in a television series, and according to the production team, he has been working hard not to disappoint fans.

"Even after a long day of filming, I come home and I can't wait to go back to the set", he was quoted as saying by MBC.

When asked about his first attempt at acting, the singer said, "I'm pretty brave. Having a limit is like growing up. You have to overcome it to move forward. I think after the drama, I'll probably have grown a lot more than before".

"Ajumma" is a Korean term that refers to middle-aged women who are married and usually represented as strong, fearless and dependable.

Two television networks have already aired dramas depicting the lives of these women: MBC's "Park Jung-geum, Heavenly Beauty", and SBS's "First Wives' Club".

Now, Korean fans will welcome another drama full of romance, humor and humanity, all conjoined into the life of a normal, but courageous "ajumma".

Choi Jin-sil and Jeong Joon-ho, from "Marrying the Mafia" (2002), have teamed up with director Lee Tae-gon for the new drama, "Last Scandal" (working title) a Cinderella story of a 39-year-old "ajumma".

At the press conference, Korea's famed actress Choi Jin-sil, from "My Rosy Li...| More
