"Housewives" heroine hopes efforts will shine in China

Kim Nam-joo, lead actress of MBC hit TV series "Queen of Housewives", hopes Chinese viewers will acknowledge the drama for the work she put into it.

"Rather than expecting it to succeed [in China], I'm just glad about the outcome because I did my best for the drama," Kim said at a press conference held to celebrate the show's airing in China. "So I hope the efforts I put into it will be recognized in China as much as it was in Korea."

"I hope [the Chinese people] will adore my character Cheon Ji-ae's fashion," the 38-year-old actress added.

"Housewives", a story about a 30-something housewife who struggles to help her husband succeed, remained No.1 on Korea's weekly TV charts for three consecutive weeks in May.

The drama premieres in China on CETV on September 25.
