If he does accept the part, he will be playing a head inspector at the Incheon Prosecution Office.  In addition, as he is planning to become an active duty soldier in the army for his mandatory two years of service, he will likely enter after the completion of this drama sometime near the end of this year or early next year.

'Pride and Prejudice' will start airing in October.
