The two idol stars will be going head-to-head, as actors.

2PM’s Taecyeon and Dong-bang-shin-ki (TVXQ)’s Max Changmin both received acting roles in two different upcoming dramas.

Taecyeon will have his acting debut in KBS’s “Cinderalla’s Sister“(신데렐라 언니) a new twist on an old fairytale. In this rendition, “Cinderella,” played by Seo Woo (Tamna the Island) is looking to get revenge against her not-so-evil stepsister, played by Moon Geun-young (The Painter of the Wind). Moon Geun-young’s main love interest will be played by recently discharged from the military, Chun Jung-myung (What’s Up Fox). So, where does that leave Taecyeon? The 2PM rapper will be the second guy who loves Moon Geun-young, but his part is far from being the main character, which is probably good for the drama and Taecyeon, in the end. “Cinderella’s Sister” will begin broadcasting in March of this year.

Max Changmin has his own acting debut as the main character in KBS’s “Paradise Meadow” (파라다이스 목장), a romantic melodrama set in a rural pasture. Max Changmin is placed opposite of Lee Yeon-hee (East of Eden) Filming for “Paradise Meadow” started in September of last year, but the air date was pushed back since the original announcement. “Paradise Meadow” will also begin broadcasting in March of this year. After fellow group members U-Know Yunho and Hero Jaejoong, Max Changmin is the third to receive an acting role. Let’s hope “Paradise Meadow” has a better turn-out than the prematurely ended “Heading to the Ground.”

This March, idol fans will have a lot of look forward to. Do either of these dramas sound interesting to you?
