Actress Chae-lim has been tapped to play the main female character in a new SBS drama tentatively titled "Oh My Lady!," making a comeback to the small screen for the first time in a year.

Her agency SidusHQ said Tuesday that Chae-lim will play the role of Yoon Gae-hwa, a divorcee who starts working as a manager of a top star to get her daughter back from her husband.

"This will be the second time I'm playing the role of a mother who has a strong will but I think I'll be portraying a more cheerful and comical character this time," the actress was quoted as saying.

Actor Lee Hyun-woo will play the role opposite Chae-lim in "Lady" and boy band Super Junior member Siwon will play the role of the top star.

The drama is set to air starting March after current Monday and Tuesday show "Wish Upon a Star" ends its run later this month.

Chae-lim has appeared in numerous dramas since making her debut in 1994. She became a star in China after starring in "Princess Sheng Ping", winning the award for most popular international star at the annual Golden TVS Awards in 2006.
