Shin Hyun-bin, Moon Sang-min

A new rom-com called Cinderella at 2AM is in the works, potentially pairing Shin Hyun-bin (Reborn Rich) and Moon Sang-min (Duty After School) in the leading roles. Based on a web novel and webtoon by the same title, production for the series is still in the early stages. In the meantime, we can expect to see both actors when their current projects go on air, in ENA’s Tell Me You Love Me and tvN’s Wedding Impossible respectively. [Star News, TV Daily]

Ma Dong-seok (Police Unit 38, The Roundup: No Way Out) may be returning to the small screen, putting on his hero’s cape again for the new action Twelve. If he accepts, Ma will be playing the character Tae-san, who leads the fight against the big bad monsters. Still in the planning stages, the series is aiming to broadcast sometime next year. [Osen]
