The photo from SBS up-coming drama “Jang Ok Jung Live for Love” (장옥정) was revealed. The main leads, Kim Tae Hee and Yoo Ah In, were both wearing black outfit on that event that held on February 12.

Kim Tae Hee and Yoo Ah In will perform as couple for this drama. Yoo Ah In will portray King Sukjong, and Kim Tae Hee as his ambitious mistress, Jang Hee Bin. In this first meeting, they both already built good chemistry, they look natural.

Actually I really wonder about their love line in this drama,since the official said that they will make the story light, because based on history their love story ended tragically.

“Jang OK Jung, Live for Love” will replace “Yawang” on April.

Finally, Yoo Ah In agrees to come back on sageuk drama after three years. He already confirmed to join on SBS’s up-coming drama “Jang Ok Jung” (장옥정, 사랑에 살다). On January 22nd, the drama’s representative announced that the actor will portray the charismatic and romantic king.

“Jang Ok Jung, Live for Love” is different point of view of the most ambitious woman on Joseon dynasty, Jang Hee Bin (Kim Tae Hee). The story will focus on her dream and passion as designer. The drama will follow up “Queen of Ambition” on March.

Our fashion king, Yoo Ah In, is ready for comeback to the small screen, and he’s potential to become the real King on his next project. His agency confirmed that the actor is still reviewing the offer from Kim Tae Hee’s up-coming sageuk drama “Jang Ok Jung, Live for Love” (장옥정, 사랑에 살다).

“Jang Ok Jung” is modern re-interpretation of Queen Jang Hee Bin, she was one of the most powerful and ambitious women on Korean history. In other dramas or movies, Jang Hee Bin was presented as the great villain, especially for Queen In Hyun. But for this drama, Jang Hee Bin will be shown lighter, because this drama will tell about her other side, her dream and spirit as the Joseon fashion designer.

If Yoo Ah In agrees to engage on this drama, he will portray Jang Hee Bin’s spouse, King Sukjong. Actually, on the real life, this couple ended tragically. I hope even inspired by the real history, maybe this drama will bring something different here. Absolutely, we don’t want to see the main couple killing each other right???

“Jang Ok Jung” planned to start airing on March through SBS to follows “Queen of Ambition” (Yawang). Meanwhile, these days, Yoo Ah In, is still caught under his movie project “Tin Can” (깡철이) on Busan.
