Hallyu star Ryu Si Won (40) is coming back for the first time in 3 years as a thoughtless husband.

Promoter Bliss Media revealed that Ryu Si Won has been casted to play the main character of upcoming Channel A drama "Goodbye Wife (Goodbye Manool)". He will take on the role of former kickboxing champion and current famous sports center CEO Cha Seung Hyuk. On their 5 years of marriage, he is sick and tired of the married life, and only sustaining such life based on his loyalty to the wife rather than romance.

The production said, "It would interesting to see Ryu Si Won change his style of acting for the first time unlike his gentleman-like image he's been pursuing all these years".

Ryu Si Won's appearance in a drama is the first time in 3 years since 2009 SBS drama "Style".

"Goodbye Wife" is a romantic comedy about a thoughtless husband who dreams of reuniting with his first lover and a wife who gets confused as her long time lover who dumped her returns. The show will air on channel A on May 7.
