Ji Jin Hee describes his latest action series with Kim Hyun Joo as a challenge and possibility.
Inescapably, the third collaboration of Ji Jin Hee and Kim Hyun Joo for the drama series Undercover has caught the attention of fans.
Their first meeting and project were Ms. Kim’s Million Dollar Quest. Then, they reunited with a melodrama series, I Have A Lover. After four years, they reunite for JTBC series Undercover.
The actor stated, “It’s amazing and mysterious. It’s amazing because we met with a romantic comedy first, a melodrama second, and an action-packed the third time.”
JTBC’s Friday-Saturday action drama Undercover follows the story of a top NIS agent. Han Jung Hyun (Ji Jin Hee) hides his identity to protect his children and wife, Choi Yeon Soo (Kim Hyun Joo).
Moreover, Choi Yeon Soo is a human rights lawyer and became the first Chief Investigative Officer. As she accepts the position, Yeon Soo discovered a shocking past about his husband.
Ji Jin Hee’s regrets in Undercover
As a 50-year-old actor, Ji Jin Hee portrayed many lead and action roles. He deeply expressed his regrets as Undercover finishes its production.
“There are many things I’m sorry about in action. I don’t know how long I’ll be able to act, but I want to know what would have been like if there were more,” the actor stated.
For him, filming Undercover feels he is not a “real actor.” Ji Jin Hee also expresses his sadness and grievance for wanting to perform some of the action scenes.
“I can only see that it’s not me. It was a pity to see that the body and behavior were different. In fact, there were many dangerous parts while taking action. My thumb is injured and my little finger is injured, and now my little finger is not moving, but I still feel so sorry to think what would have been like if I had done all the scenes.”
Ji Jin Hee takes another mystery drama series in the upcoming The Road: Tragedy Of One. The actor pledges to play more lead roles; “I didn’t smoke originally, and I stopped drinking 4 to 5 years ago. Since I can continue to work with luck, I will continue to make my own efforts to be shown healthy on the screen in the future.”

June 15, 2021 at 9:44 pmJust finished Undercover. It’s a brilliant remake of the BBC drama imbued with Korean context and history. I watched it for JJH and KHJ but the overall story and cast exceeded my expectation – intense yet emotionally engaging. And pleasantly surprised at the resemblance between Yeon woo-jin and Ji Jin-Hee or YWJ doing a good job channeling the latter.
Highly recommended!
