Lydia Forson takes on tough role in Puzzled

After winning the Best Supporting Actress at this year’s Africa Magic Viewer’s Choice Awards (AMVCA) for her role in Isoken, it is a forward movement for actress Lydia Forson as she stars in a new television series titled Puzzled.

In a role which she describes as her toughest yet, The Scorned actress plays a human rights activist called Korkor Coffie, who fights for the rights of children,

women and especially, the less privileged who can’t afford legal services.

Korkor and her team at Kork and Co. are renowned for their work but it seems their perfect professional lives is a mirage as Korkor has her own internal battles she fights each day.
