The new SBS drama "Saimdang: Light's Diary" is a fusion historical about a lecturer named Seo Ji-yoon (Lee Young-ae) who discovers Saimdang's (Lee Young-ae) diary in Italia and travels back and forth in time to discover the truth.

Lee Young-ae is coming back with a historical drama for the first time in 13 years since the 2004 drama "Dae Jang Geum". Lee Young-ae plays the historical figure, Saimdang. She hasn't lost her elegant touch yet and she's perfect for the role of Saimdang. In the previews of the drama, Lee Young-ae couldn't have been more perfect for the role as she plays two roles at once in the drama; living in two different periods of time.

The new KBS 2TV drama "Good Manager" is the story about Kim Seong-ryong (Namkoong Min) who has a natural instinct for money and he joins TQ Group in an attempt to be highly successful once and for all. However, he ends up fighting with injustice, then saves the company that is failing. Namkoong Min was previously in the successful dramas "Remember" and "Beautiful Gong Shim".

Namkoong Min is playing a completely different character from his last two dramas.

In "Remember", Namkoong Min left a big impression as the evil Nam Gyu-man and in "Beautiful Gong Shim" he was a romantic man who sought revenge. In "Good Manager" Namkoong Min takes up a big role as Mr. Kim and be an all-round player.
