Baek Jin Hee did not get a whole lot of love in her role as the evil Empress Tanashiri in "Empress Ki." But she easily could make up for that in her new drama "Triangle."

In "Empress Ki" her character was so despicable she did not deserve to be loved. Her husband the Yuan emperor did not love her. Nor did the Korean king whom she loved. And the lack of love made her even meaner.

However, the odds of her finding onscreen love are looking up. In "Triangle," a tale of three brothers, she will play Oh Jung Hee, the woman who is loved by two brothers. JYJ's Kim Jaejoong will play one brother Jang Dong Chul. ZE;A's Im Si Wan will play the other brother, Jang Dong Jun. Both brothers fall for her character.

The two brothers who love her don't know they are brothers. They are two of three brothers who were separated when their parents died and they have not seen each other for 20 years. During the course of the drama they slowly become aware of each other's existence and are eventually reunited. But they have a lot of differences to overcome before they can consider each other family. One of the brothers grows up to become a police officer, while another falls in with a bad crowd and becomes a thug. The third grows up in a wealthy family and his life has been easy. And not only are they from different backgrounds but two of them are in love with the same woman.

The drama also stars Lee Bum Soo as the oldest brother and the police officer.

According to Baek Jin Hee's agency she has accepted the role.

"Baek Jin Hee will act in "Triangle.' We have high expectations for this worthy project."

The first day of filming has not yet been decided.  The actress is currently in New York City shooting the new SBS variety show "City Rules." According to the drama's production company, they will determine the filming schedule when she returns to Korea.

Before she appeared in "Empress Ki," the actress had roles in a few dramas, including "I Summon You Gold," "Jeon Woo Chi" and "High Kick: The Revenge of the Short Legged." She also appeared in several films, including "Horror Story 2" and "Rockin on Heaven's Door."

"Triangle" premieres in May after "Empress Ki."
