Actress Choi Gang-hee is positively eyeing a new role in an upcoming SBS drama that will go on air after current series “City Hunter” starring Lee Min-ho and Park Min-young.

The role that Choi is considering in the new drama titled “Last Female Secretary” (translated title) is the female lead Noh Eun-seol, who, after being unemployed for some time, manages to get a job as a secretary at the office of a conglomerate firm.

The male lead of the drama will be Noh’s boss, a character named Cha Ji-heon who has yet to be cast as well.

The drama, which will be a 16-part romantic comedy helmed by producer Sohn Jung-hyun and scenarist Kwon Ki-young, would be Choi’s first small screen project in three years since starring in SBS's “My Sweet Seoul.”

Choi, 34, has starred in various films including “The Petty Love Affair” (2010), “Goodbye Mom” (2009) and “My Love” (2007) as well as TV dramas such as “Rules of Love” (2005) and “Sweet Buns” (2004).
