Lee Young Ae, Go Soo Young and Uhm Jung Hwa- Ratings queens

The so-called sisters are back in line. Their commonality is that these three actresses were born in the late '60s and early' 70s, debuted in the early '90s and became top stars ten years later becoming icons in their field of activity. They are Lee Young Ae (46), Go So Young (45) and Uhm Jung-hwa (48). Three actresses are returning to TV drama from
January to February this year.

The interesting fact is three actresses have different characters in the dramas they are in. Lee Young Ae gained fame worldwide for her periodic drama Jewel in the Palace as Dae Jang Geum.

It has been 10 years since Go Soo Young played in her last drama Blue Fish in 2007. Now she will be playing in the drama Perfect Wife as the role Shim Jae Bok who has lived like a habit for her family rather than herself, as her husband's affair and mystery starts to happen. A woman who has forgotten who she is and the process of dreaming a new life in the worst moments of her life. 

Scriptwriter Yoon Kyeong-A who wrote All About Mom (2015), Brain (2011) and God of Study (2010) is writing the drama. It is scheduled to broadcast in February after Hwarang.

Uhm Jung Hwa has released her mini album "The Cloud Dream of the Nine" in December 2016. Though it didn't receive great ratings but it showed a unique stage control and she still carries the nickname Korea's Madonna.
