In an exclusive report, scene-stealer Lee Joo Bin has been casted to play the female lead of the upcoming K-drama "Guardian."

As for her next role, drama officials are yet to announce what character she will be portraying.

Bok Tae Ju works as an electronic supervisor and probation officer. He has a reputation for doing whatever it takes to punish the perpetrators and put them behind bars.

Interestingly, viewers' expectations are focused on the duo's upcoming work, as they both showcased amazing performances in "The Glory" and "Queen of Tears."

Lee Joo Bin on Her 'Queen of Tears' Character

During Lee Joo Bin's shoot with Esquire Korea, the actress dishes on her experience filming with a slew of top stars and veterans as well as playing the villain in "Queen of Tears."

According to the 34-year-old beauty, she confessed to having apprehensions before taking on the role of Cheon Da Hye in the hit rom-com K-drama.

"I'm anxious about who I will be among the amazing acting of the seniors I'm with," she said, adding, "When I see a senior who is good at acting, I try to imitate his lines at home alone."

As for her character, she initially didn't see Cheon Da Hye as the drama's antagonist because of certain emotions and actions she portrays.

"Watching the recent broadcast, I thought, 'Oh my gosh, she's a bad girl' and 'Let's live a good life, Dahye,'" she said, changing her perspective with the character.

In "Queen of Tears," viewers witnessed her chemistry with on-screen partner Hong Soo Cheol, played by Kwak Dong Hyeon.

The rom-com series is some of Lee Joo Bin's famous works; however, K-drama fans might recognize her from the hit K-drama adaptation "Money Heist: Korea," where she played secretary Yun Mi Seon.

As for her upcoming projects, she will be joining Ma Dong Seok in "The Outlaws 4" as cyber investigation team detective Han Ji Soo.
