Actor Lee Jin Wook attracted plenty of attention for his performance as a time-traveling newscaster in the drama "Nine: Nine Time Travels." But the actor may not be done traveling through time.
The actor who is set to play Crown Prince So Hyun and Jung Yong Hwa's romantic competition in "The Three Musketeers" may follow that drama role with a film titled "Time Renegade."
"Time Renegade" is a film about two men, one in the past and one in the present, who use time travel to change a woman's life.
Lee Jin Wook plays the man in the present.
In "Nine: Nine Time Travels" Lee Jin Wook's character learned the hard way that traveling back in time can create more problems than it solves. Hopefully his new character's success at time tempering will be less complicated.
Even if Lee Jin Wook's character encountered time travel problems in "Nine," the drama was a critical success and had a very positive effect on the actor's career.
"Nine: Nine Time Travels" is currently being adapted for American television. Yunjin Kim, the actress so starred in "Lost" and now appears in the American television drama "Mistresses" is the producer.
Lee Jin Wook's career also benefited. He followed his success in "Nine: Nine Time Travels" with a comic role in the film "Miss Granny" and a major role in the action film "The Target."
Lee Jong Suk was originally in the running for Lee Jin Wook's role, but there's no word on why he turned it down.
Jo Jung Suk, who recently appeared in the films "The Face Reader" and "Fatal Encounter" and the dramas "King 2 Hearts" and "You're The Best Lee Soon Shin," will co-star in "Time Renegade." He will play the man from the past and he will also try to change the woman's life.
Im Soo Jung, who was last seen in the film "Secret Temptation," will play the woman whose life is such a mess that two men want to help her change it. Im Soo Jung is primarily a drama actress, as she has not appeared on the small screen since the 2004 series "I'm Sorry I Love You."
The "Time Renegade" director also has an impressive resume. Kwak Jae Yong previously directed teh hit films "My Sassy Girl" and "Classic."
"Time Renegade" begins shooting later this year. "The Three Musketeers" is currently filming and will air in August.
