South Korean artist and 2PM member Ok Taec-yeon, also known as Taecyeon, will star in the upcoming fantasy romantic comedy series “HeartBeat.”
Ok, known for his roles in series such as “Dream High,” “Bring It On, Ghost” and “Vincenzo,” as well as a recent cameo in Netflix's “XO, Kitty,” will star opposite South Korean actor Won Ji-an, whose credits include “Hope or Dope” and “If You Wish Upon Me.”
In “HeartBeat,” Ok, 34, will portray a half-vampire who enters a 100-year slumber in the hopes of finding true love. Plans go awry as he is awakened prematurely by Won’s character, a captivating yet cold-hearted woman with no interest in romance.
Series director Lee Hyun-suk shared that the 16-episode show will be a mix of humor and heart.
