Next week is the last week viewers will be able to enjoy the comic antics and tears of actress Jun Ji Hyun in "You Who Came From The Stars." For the last few weeks, Jun Ji Hyun and Ha Ji Won have been the most popular k-drama actresses in their respective time slots, but now that "You Who Came From The Stars is ending another actress may have a chance at the spotlight.
Ha Ji Won will probably continue to rule Monday and Tuesday nights for the remaining 19 episodes of "Empress Ki." But she will soon have some competition from last year's Daesang winner Lee Bo Young in the new series "God's Gift - 14 Days," which also stars Jo Sung Woo. In 2013, Lee Bo Young delivered two stellar performances in "I Hear Your Voice" and "My Daughter Seo Young."
"God's Gift - 14 Days," is a drama in which a woman can travel back in time to prevent her child's death. It was due to begin Feb. 17 but was postponed due to the Olympics. The last episode of the drama "One Warm Word" will be shown next week and "God's Gift - 14 Days" begins on March 3rd.
Also competing on Monday night is the melodrama "The Full Sun," which stars Han Ji Hye and Yoon Kye Sang as star-crossed lovers. Ha Ji Won and Lee Bo Young are tough competition but melodrama fans love a good star-crossed lover story. And that drama has already started.
On Wednesdays and Thursdays the competition between leading ladies will fall to Lee Min Jung in "Cunning Single Lady," Park Ha Sun in "Three Days" and Im Soo Hyang in "Inspiring Generation."
"Inspiring Generation" has a head start on winning viewers and already earned an impressive 10 percent of the ratings against the hit drama "You Who Came From The Stars." And the first episodes of "Cunning Single Lady" may be at a ratings disadvantage. The drama, which begins Feb. 26, will have to compete with the final episodes of "You Who Came From The Stars." However the comedy about a divorcee who tries to win back her ex-husband's affections is Lee Min Jung's comeback project after her marriage to actor Lee Byung Hun. And some viewers prefer a comedy.
Park Ha Sun, who was last seen in "Two Weeks" with Lee Jun Ki, will play a police officer in Park Yoochun's new drama "Three Days." Park Yoochun's fans will certainly help boost the drama's ratings and may introduce more viewers to Park Ha Sun's talent.
Which actresses do you think will shine during the next few weeks? Let us know.
