Jung Yong Hwa of CNBLUE has transitioned from receiving attention an ulzzang to become one of the most talented figures in Korean entertainment.

Jung Yong Hwa will return to television with the epic period drama "The Three Musketeers."

"The Three Musketeers" is a Korean adaptation of the Alexandre Dumas swashbuckling novel. It is one of the most anticipated Korean dramas of 2014, with grand scale costuming and fight sequences.

Jung Yong Hwa is cast in the role of Park Dal Hyang, the Korean equivalent of Dumas' D'Artagnan.

Teaser images and footage for "The Three Musketeers" indicate the dedication of the actors and command of stage combat techniques like sword fighting.

Park Dal Hyang is a far cry from the musical drama and romantic comedy roles that Jung Yong Hwa has previously performed in.

He previously starred in popular Korean dramas including fan favorites "You're Beautiful" and "Heartstrings."

Prior to music debut, Jung Yong Hwa received attention from citizens in Busan, as a model-worthy internet sensation. His handsome features led to his discovery by a talent scout and after some reluctance, Jung Yong Hwa auditioned for what is now known as FNC Entertainment.

He debuted as Kang Shin Woo in the 2009 musical drama "You're Beautiful" prior to the launch of CNBLUE. "You're Beautiful" was a tremendous success, helping to build the careers of the main cast members. Although, the drama was well received, CNBLUE debuted with humble beginnings.

CNBLUE were initially marketed in Japan on an independent label. As opposed to many K-Pop artists who debuted in Japan with dome performances, CNBLUE performed at subway stations and small venues. These experiences helped to shape the performance and perseverance of Jung Yong Hwa.

Since their debut, CNBLUE has continued to grow in success and has developed a worldwide audience. Jung Yong Hwa is well noted for his production and songwriting technique which has been repeatedly praised on "Weekly Idol."

Beyond CNBLUE, he has received recognition as a talented emcee and a variety show participant. He has appeared on "Running Man" more than any other idol. He witnessed an increase in fans after he was coupled with Girls' Generation member Seohyun in 2010 for "We Got Married."

"The Three Musketeers" is the fourth K-Drama he has starred in, including "Heartstrings" and "Marry Him If You Dare." The first installment of "The Three Musketeers" will air on Sundays on tvN beginning August 17.
