It was revealed yesterday that South Korean actress Uee is coming back with a new drama series after the success of 2017’s “Marriage Contract”, K-Pop Herald reports.

According to a statement of MBC, a broadcasting network in Korea, it has cast her and Kim Kang-woo as the main characters in “Husband Oh Jak-du”, with the role of husband being played by Kim, and that of the wife Han Seung-ju by Uee.

The story revolves around Han, a TV producer in her 30s, who pretends to be married by having Oh move in with her, in an effort to protect herself from the social prejudice against single women.

“The story will resonate with many young Koreans who want to lead a single life despite social pressure against it,” the network added.

Producer Paik Ho-min, who also made the popular series “My Daughter, Geum Sa-wol”, will direct the drama, which is expected to air on March. JB
