The saying, 'a marriage destroys an actress' career has been long gone. Their age and experience makes for a better act and chemistry. The married women such as Lee Bo-young and Lee Min-jung are experimenting with something new.

Lee Min-jung? No more goddess but tough and relentless.

Lee Min-jung is coming back first, She's starring with the new MBC drama "Sly and Single Again" and is co-starring with Joo Sang-wook. She took to deep consideration for this one as it's her first comeback since marriage. She drops the 'goddess' name tag and is back as a tough single lady.

Lee Min-jung attempts at an image change this time. She's one who has done all sorts of work from phone counseling to department store clerk. However, this doesn't mean her natural appeal is gone.

Of course, there's pressure. The first day of the drama is likely to be on the 27th of this month which is the final episode of the SBS drama "My Love from the Star" starring troika Jun Ji-hyun.

MBC seems confident though. Apparently a lot of thought was given to the starting date as the competing drama extended its episodes. However it trusts the quality of the drama and it's a completely different genre from "Three Days" so it should be able to steal some viewers from SBS.

Lee Bo-young, a thriller?

Lee Bo-young's comeback is the new SBS drama "God's Gift - 14 Days" as a mother who travels back two weeks before her daughter is kidnapped. She's chosen a thriller instead of mellow.

She takes on the role of mother Kim Soo-hyeon who fights brain to brain with the killer and fights to protect her daughter, It's great she's attempting at something new but it's pressuring.

Cho Seung-woo is Lee Bo-young's co-star and her supporter. If "Sly and Single Again" is a romance between Lee Bo-young and Joo Sang-wook, Lee Bo-young and Cho Seung-woo are going to appear critical and pressing. Although it's their first dramas since being married, Lee Bo-young and Lee Min-jung have drawn attention to the genre of dramas they have chosen.
