Ah! I just had this visceral reaction seeing his name again. Good to hear that he's coming back.

Yay! I've been waiting for his return back to dramaland!

Hah. I was just going over his Pride and Prejudice scenes, got impatient with slow internet. Searched him over YouTube last night. Lo and behold, there's news of him. Welcome back!

This time travelling thing. Is it the new trend now?

Looks like OCN planning a pre-produced drama, they star casting very soon.

I loved his part in Gu Family book (was actually the only part of the series that I liked). Good to have him back!

AAAAHHHHHH Choi Jin Hyuk!

Pride & Prejudice was one of dramas that got me back into dramas, and I imprinted on him, was so sad to hear about his knee injury and how tough that is to rehabilitate from both physically, and also image-wise, having to leave the military.

I can't believe it's time for him to come back already, but I hope his next drama is a big hit!

Can't wait for your comeback Oppa. Its been a couple of years, we miss you and we love you.

i think it was wise for him to wait out the length of his military service term, though it was no fault of his that he was discharged early. there's just so much bad feeling about celebs getting special treatment, and there's just no sense in him risking his reputation.

i really enjoyed pride and prejudice and i think that was the show that made me realize how much i enjoy watching choi jin-hyuk. there's a stability to his acting—there's something dependable about him. i feel like i can always rely on him to turn out a quality performance.

the show sounds interesting enough, though i can't say i've always liked OCN's shows. i feel like they're always doing something dark or gritty, which isn't bad, but none of them have sucked me in.

on an offhand note, it's interesting how the cable channels like tvn, jtbc, and ocn are developing their own styles, at least in my eyes. when i think of tvn, i think of fun and light and generally trendy/hype stuff. jtbc seems to have more dramatic content, but i think their strength lies in their innovative variety offerings—i really seem to like a lot of their variety shows. ocn, again, i feel like i've only heard of bloody/dark dramas from them. a lot of vampire stuff, if i'm just thinking off the top of my head...

I'm glad he is taking a time-travel thriller. I love the genre, and I don't think he has done one before.

Bad actor...

Pretty amazing that Choi Jin-hyuk was able to launch his career as a 2nd male lead and then lead in what was a rather mediocre drama in "Gu" in what was a basically small (but important) role.

Shares a lot of similarity with Shim Hyung-tak (handsome, masculine, etc.) who is a bit older and maybe has a better knack for doing comedy (haven't seen CJH do comedy bits, whereas SHT was hilarious in "Let's Eat.").

Finally will get to see him on small screen. You know what
I hope the leading lady is Jin Se Yeon (his co-star in My Daughter The Flower). Think she will fit in nicely as I love to see her in action film (like Bridal Mask and The Flower in Prison). Moreover she just finished the latter drama and waiting for next project.
