Actor Lee Wan has been cast for a leading role in a Japanese drama. The Japanese press reported that Lee had already concluded an agreement with Fuji TV to appear in the melodrama "Magnolia".
A love story between a Korean man and a Japanese woman studying in the U.S., the drama will begin shooting in New York next March.
Anne Suzuki will play Lee's opposite. Suzuki, who began her acting career when she was a little girl, has appeared in a number of TV shows and films, including "Hana and Alice", "The Blue Light", "Start Line, and "Stand Up".
Lee has enjoyed growing popularity in the island country since the Korean drama "Trees in Heaven" was aired on Fuji TV in April. He held a fan meeting in Tokyo and Osaka on Nov. 10 and 12, which some 2,000 fans attended.
