Actor Hong Jin Gi has been reported to join the cast of SBS' new period drama "Hong Cheon Gi," or "Red Sky."

SBS's upcoming Monday and Tuesday Drama "Hong Cheon Gi" will be directed by Jang Tae-Yoo and written by Ha Eun based on a novel by Jung Eun-Gwol. The fantasy romance will be led by Kim Yoo Jung as the titular Hong Cheon Gi, the first female artist at the Dohwaseo, or the Korean Royal Academy of Painting. Exceptionally beautiful and optimistic, her art is her life - at least until she met Ha Ram, played by Ahn Hyo-Seop. The young man is an officer at the ancient office of science and divination.
