It's been nine years since Lee Dong Wook and Lee Da Hae have worked together, but the former admits that his co-star is still as beautiful as the day they first met.

After meeting for the first time since the conclusion of their hit 2005 drama "My Girl", Lee Dong Wook told MBC's "Section TV", "The last time I saw her was nine years ago, but I can safely say that we've both managed to avoid the consequences of growing old."

"Even though some time has passed, she still has the same aura and personality that she had back then," he shared.

A very flattered yet flustered Lee Da Hae asked him if what he was saying was true, but he jokingly replied, "We're being interviewed. I can't just asked you why you look so old in front of the camera."

"Hotel King" is about the heiress of a seven-star hotel who will fall in love with a manager who goes against her father to protect the interests of the employees. It also stars 2AM's Im Seulong and Wang Ji Hye.

The drama will have its premiere episode on March 29.
