Kim Tae Hee Confirmed to Star in Chinese Period Drama

Further details have emerged about actress Kim Tae Hee’s role in a forthcoming Chinese television series. Late last month, the actress’ management agency, Lua Entertainment, confirmed that she had been offered a part in a period drama entitled “Wang Xi Zhi,” based on real-life historical characters.

It has now been confirmed that Kim Tae Hee has formally accepted the lead female role in the series, which will run for 40 episodes. She will play the straight-talking wife of a talented calligrapher who has to go to great lengths to support her husband.

A spokesperson for the agency revealed that Kim Tae Hee has already started to prepare for the role, explaining, “She has already taken up Chinese lessons, as well as a calligraphy course. In addition, she is reading up on the history of the main character.”

The agency also mentioned, intriguingly, that she will have to dress as a man at some point during the series.

Kim Tae Hee’s popularity in China has been on the rise of late, and she recently appeared on a reality TV program called “Bringing the Stars to You.”

'Triangle' Episode 9 preview

MBC's ' Triangle' is top-billed by Lee Bum Soo, JYJ's Kim Jaejoong, and ZE:A's Im Siwan.

The story revolves on the three brothers played by Lee Bum Soo as the eldest named Jang Dong-soo, Jaejoong as Jang Dong-chul is the middle brother, and the youngest is Siwan's character named as Jang Dong-woo. The three were unfortunately separated when they were young after their parents were killed in an accident. After twenty years, they met again without knowing their connection with each other.

Jang Dong-soo (Lee Bum-soo) became a detective just like his father, and is searching for his two younger siblings. Jang Dong-chul (Kim Jaejoong) became a leader of a gang and uses Heo Young-dal as his other name. Jang Dong-woo (Im Siwan) has no memory of his biological family, but was adopted by a wealthy chaebol family, so he uses the name Yoon Yang-ha.

'Triangle' airs on MBC every Monday and Tuesday at 22:00 KST.

This Valentine’s Day JYJ members Kim Jaejoong and Kim Junsu attended the VIP screening of new Korean film ‘Leaflet: Dangerous Rumours’ to support cast member and fellow C-JeS Entertainment label-mate, Park Sung Woong.

The pair both looked dashingly handsome on the red carpet in dark sunglasses, with Junsu sporting a bright and beautiful blue coat.

The film ‘Leaflet: Dangerous Rumours’ is called “Jjirasi” in Korean and references the Japanese word ‘chirashi’, meaning leaflet. It deals with the subject of online gossip and the affect of such gossip on the lives of Korean celebrities and their management companies.

The story follows a celebrity manager (played by Kim Kang Woo) who tries to uncover the source of a rumour that caused his client to kill herself.

The filmmaker has expressed his excitement in being able to tackle such a taboo subject, explaining “Like everyone else, I’m curious about how they start, who circulates them and why”.

The film will be released from the 20th February 2014 in cinemas across Korea.
