Song Seung-heon on My Princess

Korean actor Song Seung-heon says his character in "My Princess" is the most cheerful role he has played since making his acting debut in a sitcom 15 years ago.

Song made the remark on Monday during a press conference for MBC's "My Princess" as he explained to reporters on why he decided to take on a romantic comedy where he plays the role of Park Hae-young, a diplomat and son of a conglomerate who is full of himself yet sulks or gets angry easily.

"I had thought of playing a light and cheerful character and that's when I was handed "My Princess". I really wanted to do it and I felt that viewers will see me in a the same light since my role in 'Three Men and Three Women'".

"My Princess" is about the love between a free-spirited female college student (played by Kim Tae-hee) and a self-made son of a conglomerate (played by Song).
