Jo Hyun Jae posts pics on dramaset Yongpal.

Actor Jo Hyun Jae has been avidly posting photos on his personal Instagram account on his current SBS drama- Yongpal with fellow co-actors and actresses. Jo is currently playing the evil role of Han Do Joon who is the brother to chaebol heiress Han Yeo Jin (played by Kim Tae Hee). He is spotted with a more matured and meanie look for his role this time.

Jo is famous for his previous works such as Love Letter with Soo Ae and Ji Jin Hee, Forbidden Love with Kim Tae Hee and Eom Tae Woong, One Mom and Three Dads with Eugene, King's Daughter Soo Baek, Ad Genius Lee Tae Baek and 49 Days with Lee Yo Won and Bae Soo Bin.

With Bae Soo Bin on 49 Days

I have to admit his drama Love Letter was the only one that drew my attention since he's playing as the naive and innocent Woo Jin/Andrew who vows to become a priest after been abandoned by his mother. 

eThe rest of the dramas were quite overshadowed by other actors until One Mom and Three Dads was super funny as he practically rents and lives in the same house with his other 2 classmates - one is a cartoonist and another is a cop and the three were panicked upon hearing they might be one of the fathers to the late friend's daughter. 

49 Days was a return drama for Jo Hyun Jae after coming out from military. He starred opposite Lee Yo Won, Bae Soo Bin, Nam Gyuri and Jung Il Woo. Quite a fantasy drama when he realized his first love's soul is borrowing another woman's body to express her last wishes and find out the bad deeds done by her husband to be. Scheduler was my interest while watching this drama...hehe!

Anyway Jo is back in action again but a secondary role for Yongpal since main leads were delegated to Joo Won and Kim Tae Hee. Nevertheless Jo still looks good for his age and suits are definitely better on him than sageuk costumes. 

While the drama is on top spot for Weds-Thurs night slot, recently it has been hit with latest rumors that the drama Yongpal has plagiarized the comic City Conquest. 
The TV station and HB Entertainment quickly came into defense that there is no such thing and Yongpal has not copied anything from City Conquest. In fact the writer behind Yongpal is the star writer for OCN's drama Reset. 

Come to think of it, Jo has worked with Kim Tae Hee in Forbidden Love before and now in Yongpal. Also Joo Won has worked twice with Jung Wong In (he was his elder brother in family drama Ojakyo Brothers). For some reason Jung always reminds me as the creepy murderer in the drama I Can Hear Your Voice.
