By Lee Gyu-lee
Actor and singer Ok Taec-yeon has picked up a romance drama with KBS' upcoming series, "My Heart Is Beating," (direct translation) as his new project.
The broadcaster announced that its new series has confirmed actors Ok and Won Ji-an as its leads and is scheduled to air in the first half of this year.
The fantasy, romance series will follow the love story between half-human and half-vampire Sun Woo-hyul (Ok), and coldhearted woman Joo In-hae (Won).
Woo-hyul is a trendsetter who is keen on new trends and technologies. He has been unsuccessfully trying to become human. One day, he crosses paths with hardworking but insensitive In-hae. Living under the same roof, the two bring unexpected changes to each other.
Ok, who is also a member of K-pop boy band 2PM, made his way into acting with the 2010 KBS series "Cinderella's Stepsister." He recently starred in tvN's 2022 crime mystery series "Blind," which aired its finale in November, and the blockbuster period film "Hansan: Rising Dragon," which hit theaters last July.
