Shin Se Kyung might be returning to the small screen with a new rom-com K-drama.

Following the big move in her career, the 33-year-old beauty is in talks to headline the upcoming drama "Starting Today, I'm Human."

Shin Se Kyung Returns to Rom-Com With 'Starting Today, I'm Human'

As mentioned by the local media outlet, Shin Se Kyung has been confirmed to join as the female protagonist in "Starting Today, I'm Human."

The actress will transform into Eun Ho, an eccentric gumiho or a nine-tailed fox, for her K-drama comeback.

However, unlike the usual gumiho, who seduces men and eats flesh to become human, her character poses a totally different persona.

Eun Ho dislikes becoming human and only wants to experience the fun part of being an ordinary human being. For her, she values her eternal youth and beauty.

However, things will change when she meets the self-obsessed star soccer player after a sudden accident.

With this, Eun Ho finds herself starting to become a human and gets caught up struggling to fit in.

Meanwhile, "Starting Today, I'm Human" will be Shin Se Kyung's first project at her new agency.
