South Korean actresses Lee So Yeon and Choi Yeo Jin will appear in a brand-new KBS drama!
Both Lee So Yeon And Choi Yeo Jin have been confirmed to work alongside each other in the upcoming KBS 2TV weekday drama "Miss Monte Cristo." The said drama is slated to broadcast in early February 2021.
"Miss Monte Cristo's" title and concept was taken from the classic French novel "The Count of Monte Cristo." The series will be a suspense drama that will tell the story of a woman whose life crumbles when her most trusted friends betray her. She then decided to have her revenge on those people who made her life miserable, so one day, she returns to reclaim the life that was stolen from her.
Lee So Yeon is said to portray the character of the tragic leading lady Gong Eun Jo, a promising fashion designer who dreams of creating "joyful" clothing like her late father. She seems to be living a life full of contentment, however just as she begins to achieve success in her line of work as well as starting to build a beautiful love life, Gong Eun Jo's almost perfect life crumbles in a blink of an eye when her friends whom she trusts ends up betraying her.
This project also marks Lee So Yeon's first drama in over a year and a half!
On the other hand, Choi Yeo Jin will be taking the role of Oh Ha Ra, a woman with a wealthy background who is a chaebol heiress and a socialite. She will become Gong Eun Jo's rival. Her family background may not be normal as she is born from a chaebol's mistress, which caused her to have an inferiority complex. She is arrogant and known for being a troublemaker within her social circle.
The kindhearted Gong Eun Jo is the only friend that Oh Ha Ra trusts very much and she opens up her true feelings to Gong Eun Jo. Unfortunately, their friendship falls apart when they get involved in a love triangle with a man.
