These new photos of Lee Mi-yeon are beautiful, showing the actress dressed in hanbok for her latest television role as Merchant Kim Man-deok. The real Kim Man-deok rose from the low status of gisaeng and became a successful merchant and philanthropist.

The cast of the KBS historical drama shot the drama’s titles and posters recently; the other leads are Han Jae-seok, Park Sol-mi, and Ha Seok-jin. Merchant Kim Man-deok airs on weekends on KBS following the currently running Reputable Family, and premieres on March 6.

    GAH! So pretty~
    Seriously, Korea’s traditional clothes are so beautiful. And so are the actresses. And the actors. Why don’t they wear traditional clothes instead of plain old jeans all the time? Haha, I can dream.

    Another actress makes a comeback in a sageuk. Is this going to be a trend?

    Absolutely gorgeous. I think the second pic is my favorite hanbok, but they’re all so beautiful it’s hard to choose just one.

    Ok. I love this sort of plot. Now we have a real story about a woman that not only yearn and all just about love and man but works and strive hard to be successful on her own.

    Traditional Korean clothing is very elegant. The hanbok especially is so feminine and flattering.

    She looks so natural and gorgeous in those hanboks!

    Though… why is that other woman scrunching her’s?
    It sort of hurts my eyes to see her doing that to the delicate fabrics of her hanbok…

    Lee Mi Yeon is stunning in hanbok, isn’t she? She really carries it so well. I still remember watching her in Empress Myeongseong, and even though she was rather overshadowed by the amazing acting of both her younger version (Moon Geun Young) and older version (Choi Myung Gil), she was so beautiful and elegant that it made the scene of her assassination that much more heartbreaking.

    SQUEEEEEEEE!!! My wig fantasies!!!

    Missed Lee Mi-yeon, and missed her more in saeguk dramas…*sigh*

    Anyhow, Lee Mi-yeon’s wig reminded me of The King and I.

    not a fan of her, but park sol mi, yes! if i were to watch this, it’s likely bcoz of PSM.

    Hmm, I’m not sure I like these pictures. Especially the first one, I thought she was pregnant and placed her hand there to feel the tummy. That’s a bad picture.
    The rest is just OK.
