Lee Jun Ki and Nam Sang Mi Reunite To Create More Onscreen Chemistry

Lee Jun Ki and Nam Sang Mi, who starred together in the 2007 MBC drama "Time Between Dog and Wolf," are set to create more onscreen chemistry in the upcoming drama "The Joseon Shooter."

Lee Jun Ki plays Park Yoon Kang, the era's last great sword fighter. He becomes a sharpshooter to avenge the death of his sister and father. Lee Jun Ki, who was last seen in the action thriller "Two Weeks," is no stranger to trappings of the Joseon dynasty. He appeared in several roles set in that time, including the film "The King and The Clown," and the dramas "Iljimae" and "Arang and the Magistrate."

Nam Sang Mi will play Soo In, his love interest.

"The character that I play seems like she is living a sheltered life", said Nam. "But she dares to go on an adventure and has a lot of curiosity about the world. "

She was attracted by the character's strong will.

"The way she tried to get away from all the norms and traditional customs was rare in the Joseon era," said Nam Sang Mi.

She was happy to be reunited with Lee Jun Ki again and promises to create some magical chemistry,

"I will try my best to depict the ardent love between Soo In and Yoon Kang," said Nam, who was last seen in the drama "Goddess of Marriage" and who appeared in the short film, "You," and the film, "The Peach Tree," both directed by Gu Hye Sun.

Also joining the "Joseon Shooter" cast is Jeon Hye Bin. She plays Choi Hye Won, a peddler who knows how to fight. She wants to acquire wealth and the power it brings, but her plans are upset when she falls in love with Park Yoon Kang. It's an obsessive love and one that threatens to undo her.

Jeon, who last appeared in "God of the Workplace" and also appears on the variety show "My Heart Beats,' said that her "Joseon Shooter" character is very ambitious.

"She's a very charming character who chooses tragedy after she realizes that love is not something she can ever have because she dreams of love with Yoon Kang," said Jeon Hye Bin.

The drama also stars Han Joo Wan, Yoo Oh Sung, playing the villain, and Otani Ryohei, playing a Japanese warrior. "Joseon Shooter" will air in June after the series "Golden Cross" is finished.
