South Korean actress Lee Young-ae will star in a KBS drama series for the first time in 26 years.

KBS 2TV announced on Friday that Lee is set to star alongside Kim Young-kwang and Park Yong-woo in the mini drama series, tentatively titled in English as "Lucky Day," set to air on Saturdays and Sundays starting September.

Lee will portray the lead character Kang Eun-su, a homemaker in desperate need of money, as the series revolves around a bag filled with narcotics.

Kim will play Lee Kyeong, the art teacher of Eun-su's daughter Su-a, while Park will star as Jang Tae-gu, a narcotics detective.

The last time the 54-year-old actress worked on a KBS drama series was in 1999, when she starred in "Invitation."
