Kim Tae-ri is looking at a possible return to television after three years away. The actress is reviewing an offer to star in the new drama “Sister, I Am Queen in This Life,” which is based on a popular webtoon.
On July 1, 2026, an industry insider reported that Kim Tae-ri would return to the small screen with this new project. Her agency, Management mmm, confirmed that she received an offer and is positively reviewing it as her potential next project.
“Sister, I Am the Queen in This Life is being considered as her next project,” Management mmm stated.
If she accepts, this will be her first television drama since tvN’s “Jeongnyeon: The Star is Born,” which aired in 2024. That means fans have been waiting for her return to TV for about three years.
What Is “Sister, I Am Queen in This Life” About?
The drama comes from a Naver webtoon of the same name. The story follows a woman who faces a terrible betrayal. Her fiancé, her older sister, and even her parents abandon her. After this happens, she travels back 15 years in time. She then sets out to take revenge on everyone who wronged her and works to become queen.
The show combines fantasy, romance, and revenge elements. The main character gets a second chance at life and uses it to change her fate completely.
Production and Filming Schedule
The project is currently in the early stages. Pre-production is expected to start in the second half of 2026. Full filming will begin in 2027.
The broadcasting network and release date have not been decided yet. More details about where and when the show will air will come later.
