SBS's drama 'Mask' is heating up with Soo Ae, Yeon Jang Hoon & Jo Ji Hoon.

On the 28th May, according to Nielsen Korea the first broadcast of SBS new drama 'Mask' came in first spot taking 7.5%. The same time broadcast MBC's drama 'Warm and Cozy' is on 2nd spot at 7.0% while KBS2's "Masked Prosecutor" was at 5.3%

Taking over from the hit drama 'Sensory Couple'...looks like the new drama Mask is rather intriguing and challenging to watch. When Sensory Couple was first broadcasted it was on 5.9% while Mask overtook it by extra 1.9% in ratings. In terms of age group and audience, it was almost women aged 40+ are the biggest viewers. 

Mask is a drama about of a woman Seo Eun Ha (played by Soo Ae) who is meant to marry the man she doesn't love- Min Woo (played by Joo Ji Hoon). Min Woo is a heir to a chaebol family and has been suffering from a trauma and typical clean freak. Eun Ha then meets her doppelganger, Byun Ji Sook who lives a harsh life paying his father's neverending debts. Ji Sook gets to test a luxurious lifestyle when she replaced the rich Eun Ha who is engaged to the cold mysterious Min Woo. 

2nd leads are none other than Yeon Jang Hoon (Vampire Prosecutor, I Summon You

 Gold) and Yoo In Young (Three Musketeers, My love from another Star). They play as husband and wife in the rich family. Mi Yeon is Min Woo's sister and she is a alcoholic. She knows her husband, Seok Hoon married her for the sake of wealth. In fact Eun Ha has a soft spot for Seok Hoon. Min Woo knows the doppleganger isn't his real wife but he starts having a strange feeling for Ji Sook. Even the first episode we see that Seok Hoon is behind the entire scene where Ji Sook was trapped in a car falling into a cliff. He advised her to take the offer and do whatever he says...and by all means if she has to die, she has to obey the order. By killing off her identity Ji Sook, she is then able to resume the identity of Seo Eun Ha.

We have a brilliant cast from the veteran actors such as Jeong Dong Hwan and Yang Mi Kyeon who are Ji Sook's parents and Park Jung Geum (Hyun Bin's mother in Secret Garden) as Min Woo's evil step mother. For INFINITE fans- here's your chance to catch Hoya playing as Ji Sook's younger brother, Ji Hyuk. Unfortunately Yeon Jang Hoon is casted to play as the second lead role instead of the main. He definitely looks like the master of all minds. Meanwhile Yoo In Young sure does look villainess of all time! She hasn't changed ever since she did so many dramas...  I do remember clearly many years back she was in Love Letter-Bali Special where all men were fighting to be her partner. Anyway it was hillarious when FTTSky's Brian was expressing his love for her while Hwanhee just dished out the truth that Brian already has a gf. Hahaha! 

Be sure to catch this interesting drama on how Seok Hoon plots and gets Ji Sook to replace the rich Eun Ha while she adjusts to her new rich lifestyle and identity. Mmm...
