The Song-Song couple are no more, but her chemistry with Park Bo-gum in Encounter was electric: what can we expect from the That Winter, The Wind Blows star in the first potential K-drama since her divorce?

For those that consider Song Hye-kyo to be the queen of K-drama, some good news: it looks like she might soon return to our screens after a two-year break, in Now, We Are Breaking Up. Though her agency has not yet confirmed the details, we can’t help but get excited ahead of time – let’s dust off the red carpet ready for our queen’s comeback, shall we? It’s time for a recap.

If confirmed, it will be her first drama in two years

The last drama Song starred in after her marriage to Song Joong-ki was Encounter. The drama sent K-fans wild because of the between of the on-screen chemistry between Song and Park Bo-gum, especially since Park Bo-gum is widely known to be one of Song Joong-ki’s good friends.

The melodrama peaked in the ratings with an impressive 10.3 per cent audience share, according to Nielson, and Song’s fashion and make-up garnered just as much attention from audiences as her acting. However, she failed to take on any other projects after this one, making any potential comeback even more special for Song fans, especially since this is her first project since her highly publicised divorce.

Her eye for choosing successful K-dramas is well known. Before Encounter she starred in Descendants of the Sun, That Winter, The Wind Blows, and Full House. Since earning a reputation for being the queen of melodrama, new series Now, We Are Breaking Up could be another smart pick if indeed she is confirmed as one of the cast members.

She plays the part of a fashion designer, something new for her

Whenever she takes on a new role, Song’s on-screen fashion always seem to go viral – and the rumoured prospect of her playing a fashion designer in Now, We Are Breaking Up promises to multiply the effect.

In the past she has successfully taken on the part of a doctor, an aspiring writer, an heiress, and even a director.
