Girls’ Generation member Yoona is garnering attention in China with Hunan TV’s “God of War, Zhao Yun,” SM Entertainment announced Friday. The TV drama, based on the Chinese historical novel “Romance of the Three Kingdoms,” depicts the story of Chinese hero Zhao Yun, set in the turbulent years towards the end of the Han dynasty. Yoona plays the female lead Xiahou Qing Yi, who loves Zhao but becomes confused after learning that he killed her father.
