Actor Lee Seo-jin, 44, will appear in MBC’s new Saturday-Sunday TV drama, tentatively titled “100 days’ Wife.”

The drama is a story about a terminally-ill single mother who enters into a contract marriage for her daughter. Lee plays the role of the male protagonist, that of a veteran song writer, Han Ji-hoon, who is popular among women for his good manners.

Lee’s last small screen role was last year with the drama “Good Days” that aired on KBS. Since then, he has appeared in various popular reality TV shows such as “Grandpas Over Flowers” and “Three Meals a Day.”

The new drama will air in February next year.
