Lee Jun Ki is in charge of playing Wang So, the fourth son of Taejo Wang Gun of Goryeo Dynasty.  He lives imprisoned in his cold mask, but he takes this off thanks to Hae Soo and is able to passionately love another.  Hae Soo will be played by IU and is a girl from modern times who falls into the Goryeo Dynasty. 


A rep from the drama stated, "Could it get any better than this?" in response to the two actors' decisions to join the cast as the leads!  No, no it cannot! 


First filming will take place on the 20th.
