Singer IU will star in a new drama "Moon Lovers" with top male actor Lee Joon-gi.
"Moon Lovers" is a remake version of the Chinese drama "Bu Bu Jing Xin," which aired in 2011 in China.
The fantasy-romantic drama is about the fourth son of Emperor Wang Geon in the Goryeo Kingdom (918-1392), and a girl who is accidentally sent from the 21st century.
Lee will play the fourth son, who becomes Goryeo's fourth Emperor Gwangjong (949-975), and IU will play Hae-soo, the girl who time-travels to the kingdom.
The drama will air in the second half of the year.
