Actress Uhm Jung-hwa will be returning to the small screen through the Genie TV drama ‘My Golden Star’.

‘My Golden Star’, scheduled to be released in the second half of this year, is a tearful and runny romantic comedy drama that unfolds after a top star in Korea suddenly becomes an ordinary middle-aged woman. It is expected to contain a delightful story about a top star who took a break from her career and takes a new leap toward her dream.

Uhm Jung-hwa plays Bong Cheong-ja, a top star who lost 25 years of memories after a break from her career.

The other identity of Bong Cheong-ja is none other than top star Im Se-ra, who dominated the Korean entertainment industry and then disappeared in an instant. She appears as an ordinary middle-aged woman Bong Cheong, having lost 25 years of her life, and faces a completely new life.

Uhm Jung-hwa catches the eye by reuniting with Song Seung-heon for the first time in 10 years through this drama. The two acted as a married couple in the 2015 film ‘Miss Wife’.

In the meantime, Uhm Jung-hwa has shown stable acting with delicate expressiveness in various works regardless of genre, such as the dramas ‘Our Blues’, ‘Doctor Cha Jung-sook’, the films ‘Okay Madam’, ‘Splendid Her’.
