Actress Han Chae-young, who stars in the hit KBS drama ``Boys Over Flowers,'' has been cast alongside popular actor Jang Dong-gun in the upcoming film ``Good Morning, Mr. President,'' Yonhap News Agency reported Monday.

Han's agency BH Entertainment confirmed the actress will play the role of the outgoing president's beautiful daughter, who falls in love with Jang's character.

"Good Morning, Mr. President" will be a film about three fictional Korean presidents: an old, outgoing president who wins the lottery, a young charismatic president and Korea's first female president. Expectations are running high for the film since Jang will be portraying a youthful president patterned after U.S. President Barack Obama.
