Song Yoon Ah hasn't made a film for four years since she appeared in "Wedding Dress" and she hasn't had more than a drama cameo since playing a divorced mother in "On Air" in 2008.

Now she will return to the small screen in a new drama titled "Fearless Mama," which co-stars Hong Jung Hyun as her younger love interest. She will play an artist with a son. Her life is turned upside down when she learns she has a terminal illness.

The model, singer and actress has not acted for the past few years. After marrying actor Sol Kyung Gu in 2008, she stayed home to raise their daughter. Besides volunteering, she has only worked part time giving lectures at the Korean Central Academy of Fine Arts.

Song Yoon Ah met Sol Kyung Gu when they worked together on two films, "Jail Breakers" in 2002, and "Lost in Love: in 2006. But they did not date right away.

At a press conference to announce their upcoming wedding, she explained that they were friends for a long time before seeing each other in a romantic way.

"We appeared together in two films but we did not start dating until the fall of 2007," she said. "We spontaneously got to have mind to get marry each other."

She called their reunion fated.

Sol Kyung Gu has worked hard while Song Yoon Ah devoted her time to raising a family. In the last few years the film actor has been in high demand. In 2013 he starred in "Cold Eyes," "Hope" and "The Spy: Undercover Operation." This year he will appear in "My Dictator" and "Two Constables."

It was not the first marriage for Sol, who dissolved a 10-year union in 2006 after four years of living apart from his wife.

When the couple married Song Yoon Ah became the target of cruel remarks. Some said she began dating him before the divorce and other rumors said she fought with his ex-wife. The couple said that none of if was true.  But the rumors did not end.

In 2013 rumors that the couple were heading for divorce upset both Sol and his wife. On an episode of "Healing Camp," he said he declined to make a public statement about the rumors for the sake of his daughter. And he apologized to his wife for any pain she might have suffered. He praised his wife saying she never gave him any cause for divorce and that if there was any problem in his marriage, it was his fault.

Earlier this year, the actress decided to take legal action to stop the false rumors. After years of being slandered, Song Yoon Ah decided to prosecute those who have been most active in spreading the rumors.

It has not been easy for this couple, but they stuck together for better or worse.
