As you might imagine, the upcoming drama "A New Leaf" is about a man who gets the opportunity to turn over a new leaf. But it will also provide two actors who have worked together before to interact with each other in a completely different way.
Park Min Young and Jin Yi Han worked together in the drama Dr. Jin," playing a brother and sister. Only this time, his character falls in love with her character at first sight.
Park Min Young plays Lee Yi Joon, a poor girl who went to a not so impressive law school and who is now an intern at a top law firm. Her boss, Kim Suk Joo, played by Kim Myung Min, is not very likeable. He's a cold character and not above cutting corners when it comes to winning a case.
He and Lee Yi Joon do not initially get along. But after a car accident, Kim Suk Joo loses his memory. He must retrace his steps and try to make sense of why he made some of his life's choices. It's his chance to be a better person. And when he changes, Lee Ji Yoon begins to like him. But being a better person may also cost him some legal victories.
This will be Kim Myung Min's first role since he appeared in "the King of Dramas."
It will be Park Min Young's first drama role since she appeared in "Dr. Jin." She was previously seen in "Sungkyunkwan Scandal" with Park Yoochun, Song Joong Ki and Yoo Ah In, and in "City Hunter" with Lee Min Ho.
For the last half year Jin Yi Han has been adding to his fan base with his much-praised performance as Tal Tal, the Mongol warrior in "Empress Ki." "Dr. Jin" was his last drama before that although he had a cameo appearance in "The Master's Sun." In "A New Leaf" he plays a former judge who joins the same law firm and is considered something of a legal star. So he will rival Kim Myung Min's character for honors in the firm and possibly the hand of the leading lady.
From the drama's description, it looks as if Jin Yi Han will play the second lead although there is no word as to what his character will be called.
Kim Sang Joong plays the head of the law firm. The drama will also star Yoo Jung Seon, Ahn Seon Young, Lee Min Hyeok I, Lee Moon Jung, and In Gyo Jin.
The drama will air following the end of "Cunning Single Ldy."
