U-turn

I’ve finally seen all four episodes of Jisub’s comeback drama — a special mini drama aired on OCN Cable. Each episode is about 5 minutes (I told you it’s mini lol), and the result is… the man is back!!!

According to the news, earlier this month:

So Ji Sub makes his acting comeback in writer-director Jang Jin’s (Welcome to Dongmakgol, My Son) television debut project, U-Turn.

The four-part “special movie” aired its first episode on the 1st on cable channel OCN to favorable viewer response, and before the third episode aired on the 15th it enjoyed a sharp jump in repeat viewings. Although the Jang Jin and So Ji Sub combination could be expected to draw some amount of attention, the response has surprised even the broadcasters: “We didn’t expect the interest to be this high.”

As a result, songs from the movie are also enjoying rising popularity, such as a new track “Only You” from Go Yu Jin (of rock band Flower) and Wheesung’s “Love Seat” (posted below). The movie also integrates product-placement advertising, thus inciting further interest in commercial circles.

The plot is described as revolving around a “fateful” couple and their unfolding love story; So Ji Sub’s love interest is played by Lee Yeon Hee.

The four-episodes aired every Tuesday, beginning on the 1st of April and last week, it finally finished with a very surprising ending. (No, thank God Jisub’s character didn’t die unlike his previous roles in the past. lol.)

I’m sure many fans are still waiting for him to come back on the regular drama slot as he has returned from his army duty last year. The man is probably still choosing his next project, while doing a few commercials with his juliet from “DRESSED TO KILL” jeans commercial, Lee Ji Ah, who is also from the same management company, BOF. (same management as Bae Yong Joon also)
