Actors An Bo-hyun, Lee Sung-min, Soo-hyun, and Ha Yoon-kyung have confirmed their appearances in the new JTBC drama 'God's Pearl'.
The new JTBC drama 'God's Pearl' (written by Jeong Hyun-min / directed by Jeong Dae-yoon / produced by Celltrion Entertainment, SLL) is a military action melodrama set during the Goryeo Dynasty (AD 1258), at the peak of the 30-year war with the Mongol Empire. It depicts the heroic struggles of the escort unit searching for the sacred relic of the nation and the princess's efforts to save them.
Director Jeong Dae-yoon, known for his stylish directing in works like 'The Youngest Son of a Conglomerate', 'W', and 'She Was Pretty', teams up with writer Jeong Hyun-min, who wrote 'Mung Bean Flower', 'Jeong Do-jeon', and 'Assembly'.
An Bo-hyun plays the role of 'Baek-gyeol', a special commander of the escort unit who embarks on a quest to find the sacred relic of the nation, which is the Goryeo version of the 'Holy Grail' with miraculous powers. The passionate and pure young general 'Baek-gyeol' was a member of the royal guard, the Gyeonryong Army, but was appointed as the commander of the Boju escort unit and pushed into a dangerous situation because he loved the emperor's daughter.
Lee Sung-min plays 'Choi-gu', the leader of the Goryeo special forces, the Yabeolcho. One day, while living through fierce battles, Choi-gu is selected as the leader of the Boju escort unit and meets the inexperienced commander Baek-gyeol. The chemistry between the seasoned Lee Sung-min and the passionate young general An Bo-hyun is highly anticipated.
The emperor's youngest daughter, Princess Gyeonghwa, is played by Soo-hyun. Princess Gyeonghwa closes her heart to the world due to a political marriage. While spending her days in seclusion at Gyeonghwa Palace, she falls in love with the passionate and pure young general Baek-gyeol.
Ha Yoon-kyung transforms into 'Geol-seung', a gisaeng and guide for the escort unit in the marketplace of Ganghwa Island. Her once successful life begins to unravel due to Baek-gyeol's request for a guide for the Boju escort unit. Ha Yoon-kyung, who has showcased fresh performances with new faces in each project, is expected to captivate viewers once again with her acting transformation.
