Choi Soo Jong Will Return to the Historical Drama Scene After a 5-year Hiatus

Actor Choi Soo Jong will make a comeback to the world of historical dramas this summer in 'The King's Dream'. Choi Soo Jong, who is known for his roles in historical drama series, hasn't taken a single role in a historical piece since 2007 in 'Dae Jo Yeong'.

Of course, as the master of the period pieces, Choi Soo Jong will return to the screen as none other than the king himself. Choi stated in an interview, "When I saw the synopsis, I couldn't help but get greedy. I couldn't waste this opportunity, letting it pass on to some other lucky guy, but at the same time, thinking about taking the role myself seemed difficult. However, I just couldn't turn this offer down." Despite Choi Soo Jong's mixed feelings, he is excited to act in a historical Korean drama once again.

Over the years, many critics have applauded Choi Soo Jong for his outstanding performances and ability to effectively portray the majestic and glorious air of ancient Korean royalty. With so much expectation for the star Choi Soo Jong, 'The King's Dream' will surely be a hit.

'The King's Dream' will begin airing in early September on KBS1.
