tvN’s new drama Queen Cheorin (literal title) has confirmed Shin Hye-sun, Kim Jung-hyun, Bae Jong-ok and Kim Tae-woo as it’s main cast!
Queen Cheorin will be a historical-fantasy drama about a man in modern times whose soul gets transported into the body of a Queen from the Joseon Dynasty. The series will be breaking conventional mindsets as it takes on the fight against gender stereotypes.
The production team of the new drama commented:
This is a drama where the charms of the characters are as important as the unique subject matter. The actors, who are all sure of their own colours, will maximize the charms of their characters. You will be able to see the appeal of the perfectly new historical fusion comedy. Please look forward to it.
Shin Hye-sun will be playing the role of a queen, Kim So-yong, that has a soul of a male from modern times trapped in her. The actress plans to show off her acting abilities through her dynamic character. This will also be Shin Hye-sun’s first role in a historical drama since her debut in 2012!
Kim Jung-hyun will be playing the role of a secretive king, Cheol Jong. The character looks easygoing and gentle on the outside but is ferocious and forceful on the inside. The actor will be able to showcase his duality as he finds a good balance between the two personalities.
