The cast of the new KBS Monday-Tuesday prime time series titled the "Sweet Stranger and Me" have gathered in one place.

[Soundbite] "I'm getting drunk"

Based on a popular webtoon, the show is a story of a woman who one day finds a younger man insisting that he is her 'father.' In addition to the curious story line, Soo Ae's acting transformation is also a point of interest.

[Soundbite] Soo Ae(Plays "Hong Nari") : "My previous roles on TV and film have been heavier. I wanted to try a lighter character this time around."

Soo Ae, who has taken on a brighter, lighter role this time, is accompanied by two younger men, actors Kim Yeong-gwang and Lee Soo-hyeok. 'Sweet Stranger and Me' is a romantic story but will also touch on subjects such as the love of family and include aspects of mystery and suspense. The cast has expressed its resolve to carry on the immense popularity of the previous series, Love in the Moonlight.

[Soundbite] Soo Ae(Actress, Plays "Hong Nari") : "I can't say I'm not burdened by the ratings. I believe viewers will respond if our team has great teamwork and chemistry."

It remains to be seen whether the new drama can come out on top in viewership ratings competition against other rivals in the Monday-Tuesday drama lineup.
