Upcoming drama “Check in Hanyang” has unveiled more stills of Jaechan!
Set in the Joseon Dynasty, “Check in Hanyang” is a historical romance drama that depicts the growth and love stories of youths who join as “interns” at Yongcheonru, the largest inn in Joseon.
Jaechan plays Go Soo Ra, an ambitious young man who joins Yongcheonru as a trainee with the goal of becoming a full-fledged staff member in order to restore his family’s lost honor and achieve success. The new stills highlight his innocent yet determined side as he joins the inn.
Jaechan shared his reasons behind choosing the project, stating, “’Chek in Hanyang’ is a drama that feels like the hot sunlight of midsummer that we meet in the middle of winter.” He continued, “I believe that the journey of growth of these young people, who had lived different lives, as they experience events together after joining Yongcheunru, perfectly captures the light of youth.”
He also spoke about the drama’s genre, saying, “I’ve always wanted to challenge myself with historical dramas.” Jaechan added, “Being able to experience the Joseon Dynasty, which I had only learned about through history, was a precious experience. Everything was new, including costumes, settings, and the way people spoke, so I had to study a lot. I feel like I’ve learned so much from this project in many ways.”
Jaechan described his character Go Soo Ra as “a person full of passion.” He explained, “He pursues success out of responsibility to his family, but he also does his best for the friendship he comes across at Yongcheonru. The character has many layers as he goes through a lot of internal struggles amidst all that.”
Finally, when asked about the similarities between himself and his character, Jaechan picked “honesty without deceit and a fiery passion,” while noting that the character’s emotional fluctuations are quite different from his own as he usually has a calm and steady personality and doesn’t experience emotional ups and downs.
“Check in Hanyang” will premiere on December 21 at 7:50 p.m. KST.
