Jae Hee has a comeback drama!

Finally! Commence rejoicing.

Jae Hee has been out of the army for a while now, but has taken a bit of time getting back in the limelight. (He was discharged over a year ago.) Now he’s picked his new project: Cable drama Color of Woman, which you may recall is the show Eugene recently dropped after her younger sister was in a serious car accident.

Aw, that’s too bad; the two actors could’ve had a little reunion after acting together in Three Dads, One Mom. I didn’t like that drama — or, for that matter, either of their characters (he was so weirdly nasal and annoying, and played third sidekick) — but it’s always cute when people reteam for more projects. That drama was also Jae Hee’s last, but I prefer to remember him from better projects like Delightful Girl Chun-hyang or 3 Iron, where he got to show more of his acting talent.

Color of Woman sounds like the focus is really on two careerwomen who are rivals at their cosmetics company, but Jae Hee will play the leading man. His character is a good-looking, smart, and talented (sigh) chaebol, as he’s the head of the cosmetics company where the drama takes place. It’s okay, not all chaebols have to follow the cliche: He’s playing a guy who’s fiercely loyal, who takes responsibility for all his promises, and who has a good heart.

However, despite all appearances he’s quite lonely. His family left him emotional scars and he spent a lot of time resenting his father, but after Dad falls sick, he takes over as president. To save the company, he forms a strategic planning team and prepares innovative products to launch to the international market.

Jae Hee said, “I made this decision after a lot of deliberation, since it’s my first after serving in the military. After reading the synopsis, I decided without hesitation. I spoke with director Kim Soo-young several times and we communicate well, which gave me confidence.”

The comic melo series is casting for its two female leads and premieres in December on Channel A. It’ll air on Monday-Tuesdays, which will be pretty crowded with offerings also available on tvN, jTBC, and the Big Three broadcasters.

Okay, now I’m glad Jae Hee dropped his previously planned comeback, Hooray For Love, due to injury. I’ve heard that drama’s not so great, and I’d much rather watch him in a miniseries than a weekend 50-episoder.

O Drama, please be good. Please be good. Please be good…

Loooove Jae-hee. Not too excited with the description of the drama but for him I will give it a shot! It would've been so nice to see him re-team with Eugene though. Would've put a smile on my face. :)

Yay Jae Hee! Love that man. I've actually only watched his better projects, Sassy Girl Chun-hyang (which is love) and 3 Iron (which is amazing) and I guess I wouldn't touch his other things now you've mentioned it. But now that he's grown up (hopefully), he will choose a project that will bring out his full acting potentials. I will tag along with you "Drama please be good! Please be good! Please be good!"

haha well I absolutely adored Dal Ja's Spring and her character was lovable. She's also a good actress and very pretty. Haha her eyes sparkle. That's right, she's my girl crush ;)

+1 with Han Chae Young - they seemed ok together.

Or let's talk about the dad. Please let Jae Hee re-team-up with his dad from Chun Hyang.

Those two actors together just make me cry buckets at their daddy-son bromance. :((

Chae Rim! They're only one year apart, and she's also someone who has not picked any dramas as of late that truly make good use of her acting chops. I also wouldn't mind Choi Yeo Jin with Jaehee because she's someone I always felt has so much charm, especially when she's all playful and spunky and tomboyish (More Charming by the Day) or a self confident career woman (I Need Romance).

Lee Yoon-ji! I love her in serious and funny roles, and she totally kills the successful careerwoman - see Dandelion Family. Plus she needs a leading role, like, yesterday.

I wouldn't mind Lee Yoon Ji.
but for some reason, i'm kinda itching to see Song Ji Hyo take up a leading role. (crime squad doesn't count!) I think Mong Ji might look good with Jae Hee. (plus, maybe it's just me, I see a little semblance with Gary, only JH is more good-looking. (*x*) heh

Yeah, I would love to see the awesome Ace Ji-hyo go at it and an even more awesome drama, but she's currently occupied. X/ So Lee Yoon-ji or Choi Yeo-jin would be a good one.

Oops! A glitch in the system.
What I meant to say is:

Again??? I hope this one sticks. He is such a sweetheart, buy my heart doesn't go dugun dugun when I see him...

The only thing I remember from Delightful Girl Chun-hyang is the sexy, nosebleed inducer wink he gave her from the bus window. I had to replay that scene like 20 times!

I gasped when I read the title of your article. Welcome news!

Why are chaebols always emotionally scarred? Can't they have one that had a decent upbringing; no dramas?

But I will take this drama with JH anytime. Loved him in DGCH

Shades of Queen of Reversals, with the cosmetic company. Clothing, bread, makkoeli, cosmetics, construction . . . It would be interesting to see unsophisticated items like tofu and soy sauce.

Yes, I hope he doesn't bring back that nasal twang from Three Dads, One Mom. Even though I did have a good time laughing with that drama.

Welcome back to Jae Hee!

"He’s playing a guy who’s fiercely loyal, who takes responsibility for all his promises, and who has a good heart" sounds cliche but at least he's not arrogant and act almighty.

I only saw him in 3 Dads and 1 Mom and Chun nyuang (sp) and I found his acting to be very natural. I am excited to see him again. Wonder who's the leading lady will be.

That's too bad. I would have loved to see him and Eugene together. I liked 3 dads, 1 mom. It was entertaining for me.

YAY!!! This better be a good drama. He was wasted in Witch Amusement and 3 Days and 1 Mom.

I am worried abt his role being a chaebol role, though. I feel like he's meant to be like an average guy.

Reading his character and storyline.. Could it be All About Eve ver 2.0? His character is just the same as Jang Dong Gun's character. All About Eve and Colour of Woman. Even the titles have the same theme.
