Fresh off the success of romantic drama "Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok Joo" where she was paired with Nam Joo Hyuk, Lee Sung Kyung is now in talks to star for an upcoming SBS drama entitled "Be Careful of This Woman." Like "Weightlifting Fairy," the new show will be a romantic comedy.
According to a report by Soompi, Lee Sung Kyung's management, YG Entertainment confirmed that she received the offer for the leading role in the drama. They said that Sung Kyung is currently studying the part to see if she will accept the role.
"Lee Sung Kyung has been approached to appear in the drama, and is currently reviewing the offer," YG stated. SBS for its part, also confirmed that it is eyeing the actress for the role.
Based on another report by Kdrama Kisses, aside from the romcom element, the new drama will also have a thriller element. The story will reportedly will revolve around prosecutors and judges who will be stalked by a dangerous killer.
The role being offered to Lee Sung Kyung is that of a judicial trainee who will end up as a murder suspect. Hopes are high for the drama since it will be penned by the writers of "I Remember You" and "Protect the Boss."
There is no doubt that Lee Sung Kyung can carry out a role in a romantic comedy but there is high hope that she will also be able to do justice to a more intense role. Aside from "Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok Joo", she also did justice to her role as the mentally unstable third party in "Cheese in the Trap." She also played an antiheroine in "Doctor Crush."
"Be Careful of This Woman" is being eyed for a May release in SBS. The timeslot for the new show, as well as the other cast details are still being finalized.
