Actress Lee Yo Won (32) celebrated a very interesting birthday this year on the set of her new drama, "49 Days". Although it may sound like a bit of a stretch, she's reportedly fascinated by the strange connecting lying between her birthday (04/09) and the drama's title.
An associate of her company said, "The on-site staff were all fascinated because the lead actress' birthday was same as the drama title. They held a small birthday party for her." In the released picture, Lee Yo Won is seen smiling as she holds her birthday cake beside fellow actor Jo Hyun Jae.
Even her co-star, Jung Il Woo, commented on the strange coincidence, after he uploaded a photo taken with Lee Yo Won as part of his birthday shoutout to the star. Jung Il Woo wrote, "Today is April 9th, our drama is '49 Days'. Today is Yo Won noona's birthday. Happy birthday noona".
The two are seen posing cozily with one another, and the warm feeling was doubly expressed by their coordinating pink and green pieces, which evokes a sense of spring.
Upon seeing the picture, netizens showed bemused (and slightly envious) reactions: "The two look really good together", "It's amazing, Jung Il Woo has the same face size as an actress", and "Why do the two look so friendly".
In "49 Days", Lee Yo Won tackles a fantasy-based role of a woman who slips into a coma, and has to fight for the chance to 'revive' by collecting tears from three people who love her that are not her blood relatives. The catch? Her spirit was transferred into the body of another woman who wanted to end her life. Though ratings were slow in the beginning, Lee Yo Won has been leading the rise in viewer stats with her strong acting.
