Actress Shin Min-a will pair with an up-and-coming star, Kim Seon-ho, in a new TV series set to begin later this month.

In "Hometown Cha-Cha-Cha," she plays a down-to-earth dentist in a seaside village who becomes curious about a neighborhood man who is always the first one to appear and provide help when somebody needs it.

The romance series is Shin's first since she appeared in JTBC's drama series "The Aide: People Make the World Go Round" two years ago.

Excitement is building about what kind of chemistry the two will display in their first project together.

The much-anticipated series will begin on cable channel tvN on Aug. 28.
