Kim Jaejoong (Protect the Boss) has been cast in the upcoming time-travel-medical-historical drama Time Slip Dr. Jin starring Song Seung-heon, in what will be the singer-actor’s first sageuk role to date. The manga adaptation features a Doogie-esque hero who travels back in time 150 years, where he learns that maybe there’s more to being a doctor than a massive IQ. Because apparently that’s not something you can learn after 1860. But… how will we know he’s a TV doctor if he’s not wearing the shiny white labcoat and model-strutting down the hall with two rows of interns at his sides?
Jaejoong will be playing Kim Kyung-tak, the descendant to a long line of master swordsmen, and the best warrior of his generation. He’s competitive and prideful, but he also has a softer, innocent side: his character has a single-minded devotion to his first love. Sigh, don’t they all? He’ll be going head-to-head with the hero Dr. Jin, though I’m wondering how literal that could be. Will the scalpel-wielder be picking up a sword and vice versa? Or are they just going to be fighting over a girl?
With all the time travel in dramaland these days, it’s a wonder we’re not going to end up with a prince on a proposal mission, a high school student as a doctor, and a neurosurgeon living on a rooftop. Fourth dimension’s a tricky thing, boys. Don’t get stuck in each other’s wormholes. Oh. Ew. I just grossed myself out.
Time Slip Dr. Jin is currently being shopped at cable networks, with reports that it’ll find a home at Channel A.

Date: 2012-02-22 02:21 am (UTC)As much as I like JJ, he doesn't have the air nor the presence to be Ryoma-san. I mean, he's too young & pretty for the role. But looking at the description, it looks like it fits Ryoma-san character since I guess they will fight for Nokaze's affection (though Jin-sensei only has his eyes on Miki).

Date: 2012-02-22 08:17 am (UTC)Please tell me Jaejoong is not going to bun up his hair but he'll have long hair like Jo In-Sung in Frozen flower. Also I would be grateful if there are at least half naked fighting scenes for Jaejoong.
