According to the Korean media outlet Joongang Daily, actress Soo Ae was involved in an on-set car accident while filming her melodrama "Mask" but she fortunately did not suffer any serious injuries.

The accident took place at 2:17 a.m. May 16 in an underground parking garage at the Lotte World Mall in Jamsil, Seoul. The 34-year-old actress was filming a scene when a car backing out of a parking space hit her. Her agency, Star J Entertainment, said that she was not seriously injured. She was taken to a local hospital and was discharged after being treated.

"Soo Ae has minor wounds on her back and leg but soon left the hospital after undergoing a medical examination. She will return to continue shooting for the drama," said the Star J Entertainment representative.

According to her agency, the injuries will not interfere with the scheduled premiere of "Mask" and it is still due to start airing on May 27.

"We will just think of it as a mishap that happened before unveiling the first episode of the upcoming drama," said the Star J representative. "Soo Ae also left for home without any hard feelings."

In her new drama Soo Ae plays a poor woman that winds up impersonating the woman set to marry a rich heir. Crippled by her father's debt and jaded about the idea of love, her character sees no other option but to marry a rich stranger. But it turns out that she is just what her wealthy husband needs. The man she marries, played by Joo Ji Hoon, eventually discovers her secret, but by then has fallen for her and does what he can to mask her identity.

Despite his help, she will not be able to hide her secret forever.

Soo Ae is best known for her dramas "Emperor of the Se," and "A Thousand Days' Promise," as well as the films "Sunny" and "Midnight FM."

Choi Jo Chul, who wrote last year's hit melodrama "Secrets," starring Ji Sung and Hwang Jung Eum, is writing the screenplay for "Mask." Boo Sung Chul, who directed 'My Girlfriend is a Gumiho' and 'Jang Ok Jung" will direct.

"Mask" will follow "Sensory Couple," starring Park Yoo Chun and Shin Se Kyung.
