Joo Sang-wook in new cable drama Ten
by javabeans
Get ready for another cable drama (when it rains, it pours, no?): Joo Sang-wook (Giant, Thorn Birds) stars in Ten, an upcoming OCN show where he plays a former detective and current police academy instructor who is made the head of a special crime unit called “Ten,” which investigates unsolved cases.
Well, Korean procedural dramas have taken a page from CSI’s playbook (Sign), and also NCIS (Poseidon), so I guess it’s Cold Case‘s turn. Hm, maybe the only American dramas they can get in Korea are from CBS. What’s next, Two and a Half Criminal Minds?
In Ten, Joo Sang-wook’s character Ji-hoon possesses keen deductive powers and a strong logical mind. I’d expect no less of a crime procedural hero, though I’m relieved that he’s not yet another genius, if only for variety’s sake. The genius count has been unnaturally high in K-dramaland for years, and I’m ready to root on a regular ol’ Joe.
Joo said, “Four years ago, I played a police officer in the drama Air City. That was a character and drama that I was tremendously grateful for. Now that I’m back playing a detective, I’m flooded with old memories.” Huh, that’s funny because it had totally not registered till just now that he’d been in Air City, which was such a disappointing, disjointed, and unmemorable drama. I do seem to remember there being lots of pretty, pretty men working at the airport, but it’s only on going back through recaps that I recall him.
Ten will air, appropriately enough, for ten episodes and premieres on cable channel OCN on October 23.

I love Joo Sang-Wook. I find him a very underrated actor, hopefully this drama won't be disappointing and give him a more of the spotlight.

after giant, i was itching to see him in another project. i know thorn birds was there and all, but i watched twenty minutes of that and decided that even my fangirliness was not strong enough to withstand 20 episodes of melocity.
however, this looks infinitely more appealing. i'm always up for a good cop show <3

It was in 'Air City' that I first noticed him, even though his role was very minor. Glad to see him in a non-chaebol and 'gritty' type role.
HAHAHA ... 10? In Poseidon, the team investigating special cases is 09.
I guess a numbering system is easier than a name. ???

I kept hanging in for Air City because I really liked the leads. But it was so, so disappointing.

Maybe cable stations "allow" for a different production/shooting schedule? Just wishful thinking, but it's odd that they're attracting a lot of big dramas now.

Hah! I sat through 111 episodes, albeit 1/2 hr ones, for this guy.

It was such a welcome relief to sit through "3 Dads, 1 Mom"
because it was only 16 episodes.

I started 3D1M, too, but I could NOT take the way they had Jae Hee talk. Does he get easier on the ears?

Nope. The nasally twang never totally went away because he still whined at the roommates and his mother. But, it was much lessen because he had less occasion to whine. And, no occasion to whine when he was fantasizing that he had a 'chance'. pffft!

Oh the bad drama's he's been in, but he's so cute!

This looks like it will be good. I love cop/detective/forensic dramas. Most I watch are j dramas though. I got into Signs but nothing ever seemed to get solved. Pissed me off.

LOL!
"I do seem to remember there being lots of pretty, pretty men working at the airport, but it’s only on going back through recaps that I recall him."
Was this the review that said "Hot men. Cold plot."?
Like him in black - Hot hot hot!
JSW needs to get some love in a show, not the kind of love that happens in a long drawn out manner suffer until any normal person would leap off a building, either.
Early on - form a normal type woman- let the man be happy for a change....OK, if you must, you can kill off the nice lady for plot purposes, as long as another nice lady steps in to help him "heal" his "wounds."
I watched Giant, TB and PR for this man; I am game for a cop show!

I don't know, but I don't trust his acting skills yet. I'll admit he's come a long way, but something's not quite there yet. I'll give the show a peek though.

gosh better late than never i guess, been so enamored with him watching him in Giant as minwoo & thought of searching for some more about him now that i just finished (late i know regrets sigh sigh) watching Giant & Kimcheed Radish where he both demonstrated his acting skills second to none! how i love this actor, he's so charismatic & need i say more! I'm so happy for him being recognized these days, he deserves the accolades truly! i hope he gets more projects after Feast of the Gods where he's so cute together with Song Yu ri! all the best JSW, i'll support you for as long as you're in showbiz! i hope he walks the red carpet soon as he wishes when he was interviewed in Win Win program! gorgeous guy! :) sarang hae yo

Ahhhh, Joo Sang Wook - a great actor. I love the basketball scene in Good Doctor haha - you looked awesome! Of course, I also loved the way you transformed the character Dr Kim Do Han from a prickly, snarling closed up doctor - to show off his caring, gentle, affirming and vulnerable self. Aish, only you could do that in 20 episodes! What awesome talent!
Joo Sang Wook - fighting!
