Still images of Korean actor Cha Seung-won on the set of his new MBC drama were revealed today.

Major Korean broadcaster MBC released the photographs on Wednesday, showing actor Cha talking on the phone while another showed him posing in a kitchen for the upcoming MBC TV series tentatively titled "The Greatest Love."

In "The Greatest Love," Cha will take on the role of top actor Dok Go-jin who is the love interest of Goo Ae-jung, a has-been female singer played by actress Kong Hyo-jin.

The series is written by famed scenarist sisters Hong Jung-eun and Hong Mi-ran of hit dramas "He is Beautiful" (SBS, 2009) and "My Girlfriend is Gumiho" (SBS, 2010).

The show, which also stars actress Yoo In-na and actor Yoon Kye-sang, is scheduled to air on May 4 after ongoing series "Royal Family" finishes its run.

Cha led a successful career as a model until his role in the 1997 SBS' sitcom "New York Story." He made his film debut the same year in "Holiday in Seoul" but rose to stardom after starring in the Korean comedy "Kick the Moon" opposite actress Kim Hye-soo and Lee Jong-su.

He appeared in various works such as the KBS series "Bodyguard" (2003) and in movies "Blood Rain" (2005), "Small Town Rivals" (2007) and "Blades of Blood" (2010). He recently starred in the SBS action series "Athena."
