K-Drama fans are in for yet another exciting treat as ABS-CBN, dubbed the home of Asianovelas, has officially acquired the rights to air Love in Sadness in the Philippines.

Ever since the trailer for the MBC-produced show came out last February 19, K-Drama fans could not stop raving about the show for its interesting storyline.

Love in Sadness follows the story of a girl named Mari (Park Han-byul) who escapes her rich husband Franco (Ryu Soo-young) — an obsessive husband who violently abuses her.

With the help of a plastic surgeon named Joseph (Ji Hyun-woo), Mari will be given a new identity to help her get away from her husband and start a new life.

Park Hyun-bul, who stars as the abused wife Mari in the series, is a South Korean actress best known for her portrayal of Aira in K-Drama I Have a Lover which currently airs on ABS-CBN.
