Eunjung plays the role of an elite staff as well the daughter of the Korean software company’s president. Top Thai actor James Ma plays the role of the wealthy young man.

Eunjung will be continuing her activities as a singer in T-ara while filming the movie. She has also starred in numerous dramas such as 'The King and I,' 'Dream High,' 'Sweet Temptation' and movies such as 'White: The Cursed Melody' proving her capabilities as an actress.

We hope that her role in the movie will boost cultural exchanges between Korea and Thailand for future developments. This is also the first time a Korean girl group idol has starred in a Thai movie, so hopefully this will heighten the Hallyu hype, which would help in Thailand’s economy as well.”

I'm guessing the movie isn't mainstream, maybe indie. It's becoming a trend nowadays, asian countries importing actors from other asian countries. Ma isn't an A-list actor yet but I hope this will be his breakthrough. Eunjung is older, he is same age as Jiyeon. I hope the story is good so it will be a huge hit.
