South Korea's top actress Jeon Do-yeon will return to the silver screen with a remake of the 1960 film ``A Maid'' after a one-year hiatus.
According to MiroVision, the production company of the movie, Jeon, who won the best actress award at Cannes Film Festival in 2007 with ``Miryang (Secret Sunshine),'' will play the role of a housemaid who is obsessed with jealousy and desire.
``A Maid,'' directed by Kim Ki-yong in 1960 and by Lim Sang-soo this time, depicts the ruinous process of a man who had affairs with a housemaid while his wife was away.
The movie's filming will begin in December and will be screened in theaters in May next year.
Jeon, 36, is a highly-acclaimed actress who has won many awards. In particular, she is most famous for her extraordinary portrayal of a broken woman who has lost everything in ``Miryan,'' directed by Lee Chang-dong.
She spent five years starring in television dramas before winning fame with her debut film ``The Contact'' opposite Han Seok-gyu.
