FT Island’s Lee Hongki in New Drama

　　
　　F.T. Island’s Hongki is working with famous Japanese actress Takashima Reiko for an upcoming KBS Chuseok special! His character will be a complete opposite of that of Jeremy, his loveable, cute persona on 2009′s drama “You’re Beautiful.”
On September 11th, KBS will be airing a Korean-Japanese 90-minute drama titled, “Noriko Goes to Seoul“. The drama will be airing in Korea first before it gets picked up by a network in Japan.
The story centers around a Japanese ahjumma named Noriko, who’s fallen head-over-heels in love with K-Pop stars. She coincidentally meets a young teen named Minha, who’s training to become a singer. Lee Hongki’s character keeps failing audition after audition despite his passion and love for music. By influencing each other’s lives, they use the power of family love to overcome obstacles.
Filming began in Korea on August 10th, and will start filming in Japan on the 24th. Representatives said, “This drama is worthy of becoming Hallyu content for all of Asia. The drama transcends cultural boundaries to touch the hearts of viewers and isn’t sensitive for both countries.”
Both actors are reportedly very excited to be working together. Other cast members include Maybee,Tani Rumiko, and Abe Mihoko.
