Shin Dong-wook Plays Detective in Japanese TV Drama
Published on | Source
Up-and-coming actor Shin Dong-wook has appeared in a Japanese TV drama as a detective.
In the drama, Sin says all his lines in Japanese, which he says helped him realize that language is just a means of communication and which had opened a new world to him.
Sin says he felt comfortable using Japanese while shooting the drama because the Japanese and Korean languages have much in common. The actor added that unlike Korean dramas, which are shot quickly but have longer scenes, Japanese dramas have shorter scenes and thus require more concentration.
The drama, "Mobile Phone Detective", is expected to boost Sin's popularity in Japan. Episodes featuring Sin will begin airing in Japan Feb. 23.
