Super Junior's member Kim Ki-bum and actress Park Ye-jin [CJ E&M]

Actress Park Ye-jin and Super Junior's member Kim Ki-bum have been cast to play the main characters in cable network tvN's upcoming series.

"I Love Lee Tae-ri," an urban fantasy romance series, will feature Kim as a 14-year-old who wakes up as a 25-year-old man one day, and falls in love with an heiress from a rich family, Lee Tae-ri (played by Park Ye-jin).

While the production and cast crews will go into shooting the series on April 23, the drama will hit the airwaves on May 28, after Kang Hye-jung and Lee Gyu-han's series "The Wedding Scheme" ends its run.

"I'm very lucky that I got to play such a fun character in the drama," Kim said in the statement.

Kim, who made his debut as a singer in group Super Junior in 2005, has made a strong impression as an actor by playing in historical drama "Deep Rooted Tree" on SBS last year.

Meanwhile, his acting partner, Park, is returning to the small screen in a year after she has starred in MBC's "My Princess" with actor Song Seung-heon and actress Kim Tae-hee.
