Shin Hye Sun is set to return to the small screens in the upcoming SBS drama titled 30 But 17. Latest photo stills from the said series even showcased the actress' various charms as she portrays a young woman with the mind of a teenager.

Avid fans of romantic comedies can look forward to Shin Hye Sun's new drama Thirty But Seventeen, also stylized as 30 But 17. To portray the lead female character Seo Woo Ri, the actress tapped into her immature side given her role as a 30-year-old woman who has the mind of a 17-year-old teen. The said character's much younger mindset is a result of a coma that lasted for 13 years.

In the drama's recently released photos, Shin Hye Sun looked adorable as she expressed her character's childlike actions. One of the photos showed Sung Hoon's former Five Enough co-star in a messy pigtail with her face painted like a rabbit. Complete with whiskers and a black nose, the 30 But 17 star even pouted her lips to emulate the furry animal.

Another 30 But 17 picture featured a bored looking Shin Hye Sun who was sprawled on the edge of a hospital bed with her arms dangling on the side. Staying true to her unique role, the actress even went on a wheelchair adventure around various parts of the hospital as shown in the drama's teaser photos.

Unlike the actress' recent portrayal of a hardworking young woman in the KBS weekend drama My Golden Life, Shin Hye Sun's role in the upcoming 30 But 17 series is a livelier character. In a recent interview, she described Seo Woo Ri as a "bright" and "lovely" girl who possesses many charms that will delight viewers.

Apart from Shin Hye Sun, 30 But 17 also features Yang Se Jong who portrays the lead male character Gong Woo Jin. Described as a chic yet clumsy stage designer who turned into a recluse, Gong Woo Jin's fate became entwined with Seo Woo Ri following a traumatic accident.

30 But 17 will premiere on July 23 on SBS. The Shin Hye Sun and Yang Se Jong drama will replace the Monday-Tuesday series Wok of Love.
