[TRANS] 110804 Kim Jaejoong, Will He Put Aside His Awkwardness From ‘Sunao’ And Be Recognized For His Acting Talents?

The members of JYJ are throwing their all into the acting industry.

Park Yoochun has already been recognized for his acting skills with the dramas ‘SungKyunKwan Scandal’ and ‘Miss Ripley’, and Kim Junsu has been showing off his acting and singing skills in the musical ‘Mozart!’. Kim Jaejoong is the last member of JYJ to debut in the acting industry.

This is Kim Jaejoong’s domestic drama debut but his acting skills have already been tested in a Japanese drama and a movie. In 2009, Kim Jaejoong made his movie debut through ‘Postman to Heaven’ and then confirmed his popularity when he was cast to play a leading role in the Japanese drama ‘Sunao Ni Narenakute’.

But as the movie and Japanese drama that Kim Jaejoong appeared in aren’t well-known by the public, the drama ‘Protect the Boss’ can be considered the first real test of Kim Jaejoong’s acting skills.

In ‘Sunao Ni Narenakute’, Kim Jaejoong’s acting skills didn’t match up to that of Eita or Ueno Juri, but he received praise for doing well on his first acting role in a foreign language.

But some pointed out that Kim Jaejoong’s handsome face was his acting’s biggest enemy. His beautiful face became a factor against the man who was pretending to be a doctor when he was actually a salesman for medical equipment. Even Ueno Juri, who appeared in the drama with Kim Jaejoong, commented on and was awed by his good looks.

In Kim Jaejoong’s first domestic drama ‘Protect the Boss’ however, it seems that his good looks will help him as he takes on the role of a successor to a conglomerate. Currently, Kim Jaejoong’s acting talents have been praised as ‘stable’ by the veteran actors he works alongside in ‘Protect the Boss’.

That is why many are curious to see if Kim Jaejoong will put aside the awkwardness he showed in ‘Sunao Ni Narenakute’ and put on acting that looks completely natural.

As JYJ’s Park Yoochun as already been recognized as a true actor and not just another idol star, Kim Jaejoong’s acting skills will probably be in the spotlight and scrutinized for the entire drama.
