JYJ’s Jaejoong (Spy) is considering a return to the small screen through a 4-episode mini-drama called Invisible Man. It’s about a famous deceased photographer and the woman who was the last love of his life, and how their star-crossed love story plays out two generations later through their respective grandson and granddaughter. (So exactly like a condensed version of Love Rain except with one more generation skip?)
Kim Jaejoong is set to play the grandson, a human rights lawyer with no money or a big name. He begins pursuing his grandfather’s secrets and discovers more than he ever expected. He’s supposed to be a warm character who always has a readily available hand to extend to others and fights for justice on their behalf.
Well, the premise of the past love lines influencing the present is always an interesting concept to explore, even though not all dramas are completely successful in their execution (ahem *cough* I’m looking at you Saimdang, Light’s Diary). From what I remember of Jaejoong’s pre-army dramas, he was a steadily improving actor; so I think this could potentially be worth the watch, depending on how his chemistry is with the female lead.
Not many details have been released regarding the female character, but my dream pairing would be to have him with Wang Ji-hye again, because that dream sequence kiss in Protect the Boss was HOTT! In addition, I’ve been a fan of his since his DBSK days, so I hope he’ll manage to make a successful comeback.
As of yet, the broadcaster and time slot for Invisible Man are undecided, but it’s expected to air before the year is out.
