Actor Son Seok Koo is making headlines as he’s currently in talks to join the cast of the upcoming drama “More Beautiful than Heaven” (working title), a new project by director Kim Seok Yoon.

Reuniting with the director who played a pivotal role in his career, Son Seok Koo is all set to create another memorable collaboration. Director Kim Seok Yoon’s project is still in the early stages, with the title and details under wraps as the production team and cast closely coordinate.

The drama is generating buzz for bringing together actors who have previously shown great chemistry with director Kim, including Han Ji Min and Lee Jung Eun, who are also in talks to star. Both actors previously worked with Kim on the acclaimed dramas “The Light in Your Eyes” and “Hip.”
