F.T. Island to work with actress Takashima Reiko for a special KBS drama

F.T. Island’s Hongki will be working with famous Japanese actress Takashima Reiko for an upcoming KBS Chuseok special!

On September 11th, KBS will be airing a Korean-Japanese 90-minute drama titled, “Noriko Goes to Seoul“. The drama will be airing in Korea first before it gets picked up by a network in Japan.

The story centers around a Japanese ahjumma named Noriko, who’s fallen head-over-heels in love with K-Pop stars. She coincidentally meets a young teen named Minha, who’s training to become a singer. By influencing each other’s lives, they use the power of family love to overcome obstacles.

Filming will begin in Korea starting on August 10th, before moving on to Japan for additional filming on the 24th. Representatives said, “This drama is worthy of becoming Hallyu content for all of Asia. The drama transcends cultural boundaries to touch the hearts of viewers and isn’t sensitive for both countries.”

Both actors are reportedly very excited to be working together. Other cast members include Maybee, Tani Rumiko, and Abe Mihoko.
