Two years after his last appearance on screen, Kim Jae Wook is finally ready to take on another challenge. The veteran actor is teaming up with "Police University" star Krystal Jung in the forthcoming romance comedy drama "Crazy Love"!
Kim Jae Wook Reveals Reason That Made Him Choose 'Crazy Love'
Ahead of its much anticipated release, actor Kim Jae Wook reveals his reasons why he decided to star in the new KBS drama. He also talked about how he prepared for his role in "Crazy Love."
The new KBS romance comedy drama depicts the catastrophic love story between the narcissistic CEO who constantly receives death threats and his terminally ill secretary.
In the drama, Kim Jae Wook plays the role of Noh Go Jin, the highly intelligent CEO of an educational company and South Korea's top Mathematics instructor. Krysta Jung plays Noh Go Jin's unattractive secretary Lee Shin Ah.
Kim Jae Wook, who was last seen in the 2019 rom-com series "Her Private Life," explained that he chose to appear in the new work because he wanted to give viewers something that will entertain them.
He reasoned, "Because we are in a difficult situation, I want to appear in a project that can make viewers laugh a lot rather than something creepy and frightening."

In the newly released individual poster, Noh Go Jin flaunts his narcissistic personality. Although he looks great in his suit and tie, his condescending gaze gives chills.
The caption in the poster translates to, "You're going to kill me? Me? I'm the IQ-of-190 genius Noh Go Jin!" Interestingly, he still boasts his intelligence even when threatened with murder.
Here's How Noh Go Jin Prepared for His New Acting Role
Kim Jae Wook described his character as a person with inhibitions. Noh Go Jin is a thorough businessman who doesn't fully trust people.
Because of his very high intelligence, Noh Go Jin doesn't try to understand others because he thinks he's superior to them.
In order to fully synchronize with his character, Kim Jae Wook spent his time researching for ways to portray his role properly.
"I looked into the descriptions of the job," Kim Jae Wook explained. "I also made sure that I get to familiarize Noh Go Jin's personality, his callousness, indifference and more."
