Fuji TV Contiues Its Love of Korea With a New Series

Aug 26, 2011 16:44

Japanese citizens are protesting Fuji TV, because they are airing too many Korean dramas and have too many Korean celebs appearing on their talk shows. Or something. They are mad about Fuji TV and their love of Korean celebs, I think. But, Fuji TV is continuing their love of Korea and its celebs with a new series - Boku to Star no 99 Nichi.

The series is a romantic comedy that tells the story of a dull 40-year-old part-time security guard, who finds himself the personal body guard of a Korean actress. The contract is for 99 days and of course, they fall in love.

The Korean actress will be played by Kim Tae Hee (IRIS;My Princess) while the security/body guard will be played by Nishijima Hidetoshi (General Rouge no Gaisen, Dolls). This is Nishijima first staring/lead role in a prime time drama and Kim is learning - and will speak - Japanese for the drama.

It begins airing in October.
