Korean actor Jung Gyu-woon and actress Yoon Seung-a will be teaming up for director Han Seung-hoon’s first commercial film.

An official from their agency fantagio told the magazine over the phone Tuesday that Jung and Yoon have been cast as the lead characters in “Be the Pretty Ones” [translated title], which will hit theaters in the first half of 2013.

He explained Jung has already started filming his scenes since the early October, while Yoon took part in her first shooting this morning.

The upcoming comedy drama centers around a man named Jung-do [played by Jung] who prepares for the state bar exam. He realizes the meaning of true love after meeting a tomboyish woman, Kyung-hee [played by Yoon].

Jung made his debut in 2004 with a role in the mobile drama "Five Stars" and has since starred in popular dramas such as "Dr. Champ (SBS, 2010),” “Sign” (SBS, 2011) and "Salaryman, Cho Han Ji" (SBS, 2012). He is currently promoting movie "The Spy" with actor Kim Myung-min since its first premiere on September 20.

Yoon burst into the entertainment landscape here in 2006 by appearing in the music video for solo artist Alex’ “Heartbreaking Words” [translated title]. She recently wrapped up Channel A’s drama “Miss Panda, Mr. Hedgehog," opposite actor Donghae of Super Junior, on October 7.
