On the May 26th premier of MBC drama ‘Time Slip Dr. Jin’, Kim Jaejoong transformed into the character of Kim Kyung Tak.

Since this is Kim Jaejoong’s first try at a period drama, the level of interest is high.
From the moment Kim Jaejoong appeared with a gun pointed at Song Seung Hun in the first episode, to the moment of the of opposition to behead Song Seung Hun in the second episode, Kim Jaejoong even said the lines in the difficult old Korean smoothly. Even though Kim Jaejoong’s face speaks a highly city message, many are commenting that he looked great in the traditional garb.
Kim Jaejoong’s character is a child of a concubine in an influential family and as such, feels the pain stemming from his position, but his eyes spoke more than enough for the warmth he feels in front of his fiancé.

V@_^V
He did very well considering this is his first time acting in seaguk drama. I li’ke his character..totally different from PTB and PH. Love the smile on this face when he saw the woman that he love…and the OST ….the song is a killer.
Reblogged this on JYJ FAN’ANTIC
so proud of him.
It’s not a big deal if there was some hesitation or awkward moments in the first few episodes, Jaejoong needs a little adaptation after all. But his acting was good, and it’ll only improve and become more stable as time goes on. It’s said that Young Rae is Kyung Tak’s fiancee, yet I don’t see her having any affection toward him, not to mention she seems to pay all attention to Jin Hyuk who suddenly appears out of nowhere. >__< The OST is daebak btw!
Second everything you said ^____^
I think all the actors acting is improving….
I just watched the second episode and I was immersed in all the characters except I wasn’t convinced by PMY. They either need to change her lines….or she needs to act better.
In the original JIN Saki acts so well…..so every time I feel PMY is not up to par TT___TT
On the other hand…..everyone said SSH’s acting is bad…..but I find his character believable. I hated his acting in the first episode but in the second it got better.
About Young Rae and Kyung Tak relationship, I think because their relationship based on match making, you know what I mean, and only Kyung Tak’s feeling grew into love, whereas Young Rae isn’t. But because Yong Rae already agree to be betrothed to Kyung Tak, when Dr. Jin appear before her, then the situation got complicated.
thank you for everything
I´m so proud of him! I´m also surprised with his awesome acting!
It´s true that he had some few awkward scenes specially when he had to speak long sentences, but I think he will improve even more! I love how everyone loves his character! It´s an interesting character indeed!
I can´t wait for the next character! Takkie fighting! <3<3
These news are some of the best news of the day…. (*^_^*)
Just with two episodes…they praise him of his acting skill….^^
I got goosedump of his acting skill too…..He acting skill has gotten improved a lot lately…. even way better than Protect the Boss….(^_^)
Thank you for whoever write these articles. Everyone, please keep supporting JJ. Hope this drama break more records.
