Actor Jang Hyeok has surprised his fans by making a cameo appearance in the brand new Japanese drama series entitled "My Sassy Girl", a remake of a Korean film by the same title.
Jang appeared in the first episode of the drama series, which was aired on Japan's TBS on April 20, with Tsuyoshi Kusanagi and Lena Tanaka.
Jang took on the role of Korean Hallyu star "Jang Hyeok" who appears in the dreams of Kusanagi and Tanaka. Taking revenge on Kusanagi for attacking his younger brother, he aims a gun at his enemy inside a warehouse located at a construction site.
Jang's management agency SidusHQ said the actor was able to get the role after he appeared as a guest on the "Tsuyoshi Kusanagi 2" talk show on Fuji TV on February 8. The director of the show reportedly added new scenes for Jang that were not included in the original script.
After shooting the episode, Kusanagi, a member of the popular boy band SMAP, said he had fun working with Jang, whom he described as a down-to-earth and thoughtful gentleman who had a great talent for action scenes.
Jang is quickly becoming a star in Japan through the Korean films "Windstruck" and "Volcano High" and the drama series
"Thank You", which he starred in.
