New Ko Hyun-jung, Kwon Sang-woo series to air Oct 6

A new TV series starring top Korean stars Ko Hyun-jung and Kwon Sang-woo is scheduled to begin its run on October 6, according to the drama's production company Lee Kim Productions on Wednesday.

An associate from Lee Kim explained, "The new drama with Ko and Kwon tentatively titled "Big Thing" will join the Wednesday and Thursday night primetime line-up during the latter half of the year," explained an associate from Lee Kim.

"Big," based on the comic book series of the same title by Park In-kwon, is about a first-class gigolo (played by Kwon) who helps a human rights lawyer (Ko) to achieve her dream of becoming Korea's first female president.

"Big" will premiere after a series tentatively titled "The Legendary Fox with Nine Tails is My Girlfriend" ends its run -- the show will start its run in August succeeding action drama "Bad Boy" which will air next week.

Ko made her debut into the entertainment industry as a former Miss Korea in 1989. She is known as one of the top actresses in the country after her role in the hit series "Queen Seon-deok."

Kwon has starred in several dramas and movies since his debut in 2001. He is well-known for his roles in the 2003 TV series "Stairway to Heaven" and Korean films "My Tutor Friend" and most recently "Into Fire."
