New Character Posters for Saimdang Bask Lee Young Ae and Song Seung Heon in a Warm Dreamy Halo

Things are still looking up for Lee Young Ae‘s acting comeback after over a decade away from the screens, but this is one comeback that may have benefited more from the live shoot process than the current trend towards pre-production. SBS scooped up Saimdang: Light’s Diary and eagerly slotted it for a fall airing this October, but due to the summer scrimmage between South Korea and China over THAAD, the airing of Saimdang has now been pushed back to early 2017 in hopes that the drama will get Chinese airing approval so it can be simulcast as intended. I feel like this lull between the excitement when Lee Young Ae announced her comeback late last year to when the drama will broadcast has simmered down the anticipation. At least SBS has done a good job of doling out the goodies, the latest character posters of leads Lee Young Ae and Song Seung Heon trade the darkness of the first set of posters for halo-esque light that turns Lee Young Ae into a hanbok madonna.
