On March 28, several media outlets reported that top stars Jun Ji Hyun and Kang Dong Won will be working together with the brilliant team of Little Women. Reports stated that the two will be the main leads of the upcoming tvN K-drama titled Polaris.

Meanwhile, this will possibly be the grand comeback of Kang Dong Won to the K-drama scene. The actor previously starred in a series 19 years ago, in the 2004 K-drama titled Magic. Aside from this possible project, Kang Dong Won will also lead the upcoming movies The Incident, Jeon, Ran, and Possession.
