Domestic debut drama of Kim Jaejoong, ‘Protect the Boss’, has started airing on the 3rd.
The rating of first episode recorded 14.5% (according to AGB Nielsen, base on Metropolitan area). The drama succeeded to draw many warm responses and got No.1 Real-time Search Ranking right after it started airing. Many favorable comments, such as ‘I didn’t even notice the time passing’, ‘It was so funny that I laughed tears’, ‘Another rom-com hit was born’, were left in message boards and various portal sites.
Even the reporters who attended the press conference burst out laughing with their shoulders moving up and down while watching the preview video. After the press conference, good comments were circulated among them (the reporters), like ‘The drama comes out better than I thought’, ‘It shows signs of a hit’… Also, as expected, after its first broadcast, two hares were caught at once: good rating and favorable comments.
Among these (favorable comments), Kim Jaejoong who has his first challenge in domestic drama also got good response. Compared to a little humorous character ‘Cha JiHun (Jisung)’, Kim Jaejoong plays a perfect gentleman ‘Cha Muwon’ and showed an unbelievably stable acting debut.
Especially, after the lawsuit with his former management company, this is actually the first time he can appear in public TV and among JYJ members, he’s the last one to start individual activity. Therefore, Kim Jaejoong drew many hot attentions than ever.
At the press conference, the officials were amazed that he has received 6.56 tons of supporting rice from 28 countries, which was recorded the biggest donation ever. And before the broadcast, fans from many countries sent cheering messages to official twitter of the drama. His popularity was acknowledged as the “Prince of Asia”.
In order to meet the expectations of his fans, Kim Jaejoong has been steadily practicing acting for a long period of time. Fortunately, in the filming set, he was praised by Cha HwaYeon (who act as his mother in the drama) and other senior actors and of course, after the first broadcast, he also received passing mark from the viewers. In addition, throughout the interviews with 24 papers, he promoted his new drama and JYJ’s activities with honest and humble attitude. At the press conference, he also came up first to warmly greet the reporters, which looks like he has forgotten how big star he is for a moment.
Following his activities as a singer, an air of success also comes out from Kim Jaejoong as an actor. But it’s still not enough for him. Because he has an infinite possibilities to develop in the future. Not only his activities as an actor but his activities as a singer are also waiting for its turn. JYJ is expected to release a Korean album soon and their worldwide activities might start in the second half of year.
Kim Jaejoong said in a interview with TodayNews, “For now, I only think about the drama. But I still have the desire to sing. The most precious thing is that I can return to the stage.” From composing, writing lyrics to stage directing, his artist side is being well-exposed.
From the drama ‘Protect the Boss’ which started with two-digit rating to his activities as a singer, 2011 is the year that Kim Jaejoong gets busy than ever and he is spending a fruitful year. Fans and the public are pleasantly looking forward to where this man can takeoff to.
