Jang Hyuk to appear in Chinese drama

Korean actor Jang Hyuk has signed on to appear in the Chinese drama “Mei Feng Mei,” the actor’s agency SidusHQ announced Friday.

It has been six years since Jang last appeared in a Chinese drama. In 2010 he starred in “Fall in Love with Anchor Beauty,” a Chinese remake of the Korean drama “All about Eve.”

Jang’s new drama “Mei Feng Mei” will feature a story of ambitious immigrants seeking to make their dreams come true in a heaven-like city, where the actor will play a soldier-turned-conglomerate chairman, said the agency.

Meanwhile, Jang became popular in China with the Chinese movie “Inside or Outside,” released last month, in which he played the chief financial officer of an IT company.
