What do you think about Kang Ji Hwan and actress Moon Geun Young co-starring as romantic leads?

That may soon be a possibility.

On July 20, the Korean media outlet Munhwa Ilbo said that both actors have been offered roles in the upcoming KBS series "Home Alone."

According to Munhwa Ilbo, Moon has shown a positive response to the offer and is currently negotiating the details necessary for a contract. If she does take the role, it would be a drama comeback for the actress, who has not appeared on the small screen since 2013.

Her last drama role was playing a ceramic artist in "Goddess of Fire: Jeonji" with co-stars Lee Sang Yoon and Kim Bum. Since then she has appeared in a period film, playing Lady Hyegyeong in "The Throne." The film, which also starred Song kang Ho and Yoo Ah In, was her first film in eight years. The actress also appeared on the variety show "2 Days, 1 Night."

Moon Geun Young does have romantic comedy experience, most notably "Mary Stayed Out All Night" with co-star Jang Geun Suk.

Kang Ji Hwan also responded positively to the offer but his agency, Sim Entertainment, cautions that nothing is definite yet.

"Kang's participation in the drama has not yet been determined."

Kang is currently filming the Korean-Chinese production "Cheongangdaega and he would have to alter his schedule to participate in the drama. "Cheondangdaega," which has scheduled a winter release, is filming in Dalian, China.

A representative from Sim Entertainment told the Korean media outlet Joongang Daily that the actor is working hard.

"Kang is putting forth his best efforts for this upcoming movie. He's trying to communicate with each staff member, even in the scorching heat."

In the film he plays a man who is the subject of several romantic scandals and winds up in China. There he meets one of his biggest fans.

His last drama role was playing Kim Ji Hyuk in "Big Man." Kim was a poor man, who is tricked into thinking he is an heir so that he can become an unwilling organ donor.

Besides the film Kang is currently working on, he has considerable romantic comedy experience. One of his most notable romantic comedies was "Lie To Me" with co-star Yoon Eun Hye.

If he takes the "Home Alone," role, Kang will play a man who moves to the U.S. after he loses his family. When he returns to Korea he hires a woman, played by Moon, to watch his dog. But their relationship turns into more.
