Song-Song to return to small screen
SEOUL: Fans of the Songs will be delighted to know that both of them are returning to star in their own TV dramas after a break of about two years following their marriage.
Song Joong-ki confirmed Thursday his upcoming production will be a tvN periodfantasy drama tentatively titled ‘Asadal Chronicles’. He will star as a character with a tragic fate who tries to revolt against the fabled kingdom of Asadal.
The drama series is expected to be a blockbuster production with other big-name cast members such as Kim Ji-won and Jang Dong-gun. It will be Song and Kim’s second time working together, following ‘Descendants of the Sun’ in 2016.
Song Hye- kyo is also to star in a tvN series, tentatively titled ‘ Boyfriend’. She will play the daughter of an influential politician who marries into a wealthy family. She is cold and ignorant, but is to change, meeting the male lead character.
Her partner will be national heartthrob Park Bo-gum. The casting, confirmed earlier this month, grabbed the public’s attention as Park is known to be close to Song Joong-ki, as they had starred together in an ad campaign.
Though shooting for ‘Asadal Chronicles’ and ‘Boyfriend’ both is to start soon, ‘Asadal Chronicles’ is set to air next year, as the production involves a great deal of computer graphics postproduction. ‘Boyfriend’ will air later this year.
