Park Ji-hoon may soon be making a comeback with a very different romance. The actor has been offered the lead role in « Holding On to the End of This Night » (literal title), a new drama that will bring together two characters who are complete opposites: a street cleaner who has given up his dream of becoming a pianist and a woman involved in drug trafficking. Her agency confirms, however, that her participation has not yet been decided.
On September 13, YY Entertainment responded to reports announcing Park Ji-hoon for the project's casting. The agency was keen to clarify: «“Holding Onto the End of This Night” is one of the projects he is currently considering.»
So we'll have to wait a while before considering his casting confirmed. But the initial details about the character he's been offered already give us a better understanding of the unusual romance the drama has in store.
Park Ji-hoon could play a pianist who gave up on his dream
Park Ji-hoon was offered the role of Choi Woo-sung, a man who now works as a janitor.
Yet his life could have taken a completely different turn. As a young man, Woo-sung dreamed of becoming pianist and had even attended schools specializing in the arts to pursue that goal. Reality eventually forced him to give up that dream, however. To support himself, he became a janitor and left behind the musical career he had once envisioned.
Yet the piano never completely disappeared from his life. During his breaks, Woo-sung secretly goes to a jazz café that is now closed, where he continues to play whenever he thinks he's alone. Until one day, someone catches him.
A woman walks into this place and discovers this part of his life that he had kept hidden until then. An encounter that will gradually turn her daily life upside down.
Two very different lives that could become a refuge for one another
«Holding Onto the End of This Night» will revolve around the encounter between two people living in radically different worlds. On one hand, Choi Woo-sung is trying to make a living after giving up on his dream. On the other is a woman involved in the drug trafficking.
The drama will tell the story of how these two characters, brought together under the night sky despite everything that separates them, will ultimately become a source of light and a form of salvation for one another.
Woo-sung’s discovery of the piano is thus likely to be one of the starting points for their growing closeness, with a romance that seems to blend personal wounds, abandoned dreams, and a second chance.
For now, The identity of the actress who may play the female character was not disclosed in the information provided, and no air date has been announced yet.
As for Park Ji-hoon, his participation in «Holding Onto the End of This Night» is still under consideration and will require further confirmation from his agency.
What do you think of the synopsis? Is this an interesting project for Park Ji-hoon?
