Will upcoming drama "Ruler: Master of the Mask" be the latest set to feature a real-life romance? Excited viewers are already expecting sparks to fly between lead stars Kim So Hyun and Yoo Seung Ho as the actress admitted that her new on-screen partner is her ideal type.
According to a report by the Stars Post, Kim So Hyun said that among the actors that she has worked with, she saw Yoo Seung Ho as her ideal type. This comes as a major revelation because the roster of actors that the actress has worked with in her previous projects feature some of the hottest young stars in Korea. Among the hot young actors that she has starred with are 2PM's Taecyeon, Jisoo, Nam Joo Hyuk and Yook Seung Jae.
Fans are interested to see how the pairing of Kim So Hyun and Yoo Seung Ho will work out because both actors give out a different vibe from each other. While Kim Soo Hyun projects a youthful energy, Yoo Seung Ho gives out an equal balance of brooding seriousness and charm which makes him perfect for the lead role.
Based on the synopsis of "Ruler" Master of the Mask" Kim Soo Hyun will play the role of Ha Ga Eun, a righteous and smart woman who will attempt to seek revenge on Yoo Seung Ho's character, Crown Prince Lee Sun, whom she believes was the reason for her father's decapitation. However, the revenge plan will not quite pan out as she finds herself falling for the prince. Instead of hurting him, she ends up helping him to become a better ruler.
For his part, Yoo Seung Ho promised his fans that he will do his best to deliver a very different character from his previous portrayals. "I will do my best to show a new side of me, I haven't shown yet through 'Monarch' ('Ruler: Master of the Mask'), so please look forward to it," he said to All Kpop.
"Ruler: Master of the Mask" will air on MBC starting May 10. It will take on the Wednesday and Thursday 10 pm timeslot from "Radiant Office."
