Seo Kang Jun and Lee Yeon Hee make their first appearance as leads in drama 'Hwajung'

On the latest episode of MBC's 'Hwajung', actor Seo Kang Jun and actress Lee Yeon Hee finally made their appearances as leads.

The two took on the roles of the grownup versions of their characters in the 7th episode as their characters were played by their child and teenage counterparts, Jung Chan Bi and Choi Kwon Soo,�for the first 6 episodes.

Lee Yeon Hee plays Princess�Jeongmyeong, who was tragically sold into slavery and works as a laborer. Even under harsh conditions, her character is strong, and she bravely helps her fellow workers. In the still cuts, you can see her with a dirt-stained face (though still looking pretty) as she looks like she is going through a difficult time.

Seo Kang Jun also made his first appearance as a character who was betrothed to Jeongmyeong back when she still held her title as princess. He has a stark contrast from Lee Yeon Hee in his photos as he is clean cut, still of a high position, and has a slightly cold and expressionless look on his face.

The filming for these scenes had taken place in early April, and although Lee Yeon Hee has historical dramas under her belt, this is Seo Kang Jun's first time in one. Doesn't traditional Korean clothing suit him though?
