The drama's rep told Ilgan Sports on September 18, "We are in talks with multiple actresses, so Han Ye Seul is only one of the candidates." Her agency Key East Entertainment also told MyDaily, "Han Ye Seul received the casting offer for 'Birth of a Beauty'... She is reviewing it and currently spending time overseas... She will return through a good production soon."

If confirmed, this will mark Han Ye Seul's long-awaited return from her hiatus since 'Spy Myung Wol' in 2011. She was also previously in talks for 'Thrice Married Woman' and 'Angel Eyes', which she didn't end up starring in and recently started anew under Key East Entertainment.

Joo Sang Wook is also in talks for 'Birth of a Beauty', which is the work of 'Giant' and 'Midas's PD Lee Chang Min and writer Yoon Young Mi. The drama portrays the story of a woman who starts anew after undergoing plastic surgery and losing weight and is set to premiere in November!
