SEOUL, Feb. 23 (Yonhap) -- South Korean rookie actor Lee Jong-won, who impressed through the MBC drama “Golden Spoon” last year, has confirmed to star in the upcoming MBC period drama “Flower Blooming at Night” (literal title), which veteran actress Lee Honey has already confirmed to take on the female lead role.

The upcoming comedy whodunit will follow a 15-year-old widow (Lee Honey) who crosses the wall at night but lives as a monk in the morning, and Park Soo-ho (Lee Jong-won), a born-to-be subordinate officer of geumwiyoung (one of the five military camps in the Joseon Dynasty).

The drama will see Lee as the perceptive officer with splendid martial art skills who refrains himself from building any deep relationships in the fear of losing his loved ones. Park Soo-ho will end up getting his life turned upside down by getting entangled in an unexpected incident after encountering the masked widow.

The upcoming comedy period television series is gearing up for production and will be aired in the second half of 2023.
