Fans of TV dramas already have an ample lineup of witty programs to choose from, but the list will become more colorful with a number of top actresses returning to the small screen.
Movie star
Son Ye-jin is tapping into the small screen market with "
Personal Preference" (working title) after appearing in the dark thriller "
White Night" (2009).
Son will appear as Park Gae-in, the CEO of a famous furniture company, who dreams of having a gay guy friend. She gets close to her dream when she ends up living with Jeon Jin-ho, whom she mistakes as the perfect match for her. Jeon will be played by "
Boys over Flowers" star
Lee Min-ho.
The actress expressed the difficulty of portraying her "
White Night" character during press events and interviews, and it seems like she will be able to brush away the mysterious and dark personality. The movie may have not topped the box office, but it showed how fearless the 28-year-old is when it comes to acting.
"I wanted to be involved in a bright and fun drama and I liked the character ― cute and charming and always up to the task", Son said.
The actress has been lucky when it comes to co-actors, performing opposite some of the top stars in Korea, including
Bae Yong-joon,
Kim Joo-hyeok, Jeong Woo-sung and
Ji Jin-hee.

The news of the actress' sudden hospitalization Tuesday startled fans, as it was thought that she was recovering after resting for a month in Los Angeles.
