"Baker King" star Yoon Shi Yoon and "Goblin" actor Kim Min Jae will be starring in a variety drama entitled "The Best Hit" which will put stars' charms to the test. The project will be a reunion for Yoon Shi Yoon and former "2 Days & 1 Night" PD Yoo Ho Jin.
According to a report by Drama Beans, "The Best Hit" will feature a similar concept as "Producer," which is the first series to be classified as a variety drama. This means that Yoon Shi Yoon and Kim Min Jae will not just have to act but also perform song and dance numbers as well.
"The Best Hit" will revolve around lead character Yoo Hyun Jae, played by Yoon Shi Yoon. Hyun Jae is a member of K-pop group J2, which shot to superstardom because of their good looks, singing and dancing skills. However, Hyun Jae is also known for causing trouble as he figures with scandal after scandal with each episode.
Kim Min Jae, on the other hand will play Lee Ji Hoon, a trainee at the label who strives to become a famous idol. However, Ji Hoon only works to achieve his dream in secret as he is also preparing for a civil service exam. "The Best Hit" is expected to challenge Kim Min Jae in a new way as his previous role as a cruel king in "Goblin" or as a nurse in "Romantic Doctor Kim" has never required him to test his singing or dancing skills. Fans are expected to see a new side to the actors in the variety drama.
According to Soompi, Yoon Shi Yoon agreed to do the variety drama because of his good relationship with Yoo Ho Jin, whom he worked with in "2 Days and 1 Night." Monster Union, the production company behind "The Best Hit" expressed confidence Yoon Shi Yoon and Kim Min Jae will do justice to their roles as they show a different side to the viewers. The drama is reportedly slated for airing this May.
