Rising child star Kim Sae-ron will appear in her first adult role in a JTBC TV drama tentatively titled "Witch Bogam."
In the historical fantasy fiction story, Kim, 15, portrays a girl named Seo-ri, a princess-turned-witch who unwillingly harms people with her magical powers, which she is trying to get rid of.
Male lead Yoon Shi-yoon will portray royal physician Heo Jun (1539-1615) from the Joseon Kingdom (1392-1897), who compiled the oriental medicine guidebook "Dongui Bogam."
The drama will portray a fictional romance between Heo and Seo-ri.
The network plans to air the drama during the first half of this year.

In the movie, she played a girl who escapes being murdered by an organized crime group, with the help of a former black operation soldier (Won Bin).
Last year she won the Best New Actress Award at China's 24th Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Awards.
