Scarlet Heart: Ryeo, the upcoming Korean adaptation of the wildly popular Chinese series Scarlet Heart (Bu Bu Jing Xin), is drumming up a lot of excitement for its stellar cast and Universal Studios backing. Newly released are photos of lead actor Lee Joon Ki and lead actress IU, regally outfitted and posed similarly with one hand clasped over the other. Handsome Lee Joon Ki is charismatic in black, while beautiful IU is angelic in white.

The new stills were posted on May 16 via the drama’s Facebook account. The timing of the release made it a gift for IU and her fans, as on her photo was a special message: Happy Birthday, IU!
