| After winning hearts throughout Asia with his performance in My Lovely Sam-Soon, Hyun Bin shows another side of himself in the highly anticipated KBS drama The Snow Queen. Based on the Hans Christian Andersen fairy tale of the same name, The Snow Queen is helmed by Lee Hyung Min, director of hit dramas Winter Sonata and I Am Sorry, I Love You. To his latest work, Lee brings that same compelling mix of heartwarming romance and heartbreaking tragedy with distinctive aesthetics and a lingering atmosphere. Hyun Bin, departing from his roguishly boyish image, adopts a more rugged look to portray a lonely, troubled boxer. Opposite Hyun Bin is former FinK.L. member Sung Yu Ri (A Prince's First Love, One Fine Day) who has slowly come unto her own as an actress.
Both uncommonly gifted in math, high school prodigies Tae Woong (Hyun Bin) and Jung Kyu (Lee Sun Ho) initially don't get along, but they soon become best friends. Together they experience the growing pains of adolescence, sharing their dreams and anxieties. When Jung Kyu's life is tragically cut short after Tae Woong wins over him in a math competition, life as Tae Woong knows it also ends. Eight years later, Tae Woong, now going by the name Deuk Gu, is a third-rate boxer struggling to make ends meet. Unable to get over Jung Kyu's death, he continues to punish himself for the past by living in despondency, desperately trying to fulfill his friend's dream. But then he meets Bo Ra (Sung Yu Ri), a wealthy and petulant young woman with a heart as cold as his.
