I'm so glad he's getting another opportunity to act! I know he's going to put his all into it.

I'm not huge on teacher/student stuff, but I will admit that the plot sound extremely interesting! I'm so excited for him to get this opportunity as an actor with such a role.

Jaehyun fighting!

I'm assuming they'll make some adjustments here around aging up the characters..but I agree, Jaehyun fighting!

Quote from quarkie

I wonder if they will make him a college student instead cause I don't know if I can buy Jaehyun as a 17 year old.... although I was ready to buy him as a computer nerd.

I was assuming as a college student. He made a convincing computer nerd. Seeing him on the fancalls today made it equally plausible with his low-key vibe...I mean a ridiculously good-looking computer nerd, but they do exist..
