Moon Geun Young will be making her drama comeback in October. And for that comeback she has chosen a police thriller. It has been almost two years since Moon appeared on the small screen, as she wrapped up her role in "Goddess of Fire: Jeonji" in October 2013.

Her new drama is titled "The Village: Achiara's Secret" and it is due to air in October after the conclusion of "Yong Pal," starring Joo Won and Kim Tae Hee.

"The Village: Achiara's Secret" is set in the village of Achiara and the search for secrets begins with the discovery of a body. In an attempt to identify what happened to the body the police have to investigate the lives of the villagers and in the process they uncover some of their secrets.

According to an SBS representative, Moon Geun Young will play one of the lead characters, a woman named So Yoon, who helps solve the mystery.

"Moon Geun Young will be the female lead of the drama. She'll be the core character that solves the problem in the drama."

According to the Korean media outlet Nate News, Kim Min Jae, Lee Yeom Eum and Kim Jae Wook have also been cast in the drama. Kim Min Jae plays a police officer at the Achiara Police Station. His character left Achiara 15 years ago but has returned to work there.

Lee Yeol Eum plays a mature looking high school student who wants to be an idol singer. She's poor and her chances at improving her life are slim.

Kim Jae Wook plays Nam Gun Woo, an art teacher. Kim Jae Wook previously starred with Moon Geun Young in "Mary Stayed Out All Night." In that drama he played the man that she was forced into an arranged marriage with but he did not win her away from the character played by Jang Geun Suk. It is not yet known whether he will play Moon's love interest in this drama. His character has been described as carefree and popular with women.
