TV actress Lim Eun-kyeong will debut in a Chinese TV drama. Elite Planning, Lim's entertainment agency, disclosed on Dec. 14 that "Lim Eun-kyeong has been cast as the lead actress for a new romantic drama involving insurance fraud produced by 'Huaxin Yingshi' (華新影視), a Chinese TV drama production agency".

This drama features a story about the romance between a man and a woman who are working for an insurance company. In the drama, they are embroiled in an insurance fraud case together and argue with each other at every opportunity. It will be aired throughout China early next year.

Lim will leave for China on Dec. 23 to film the drama. She will stay in Hangzhou, China for three months starting from late December.

A Korean drama entitled "Bodyguard" and a Korean movie entitled "Doll Master", both starring Lim, have hit Chinese-speaking markets such as Taiwan before. But this is the first time Lim is making a full-fledged debut in China.

Opening with a hilarious grainy sequence, which feels like a homage to Lars Von Trier's ("Dogville") silent film-making technique, we are informed that "This film is based on a poem", before being treated to a re-enactment of Hans Christian Anderson's "The Little Match Girl"...| More
