Actor Park Hae Jin has been cast in the lead role in the Chinese drama “Faraway Love”.

Park’s agency WM Company announced on February 12 that Park will play the male lead “Shim An”, a restaurant owner who is jaded by a painful past love.

The drama is being produced by comedian and actor-turned-director Chu Shi-moo, who was moved by Park’s impressive acting in Park’s Chinese drama debut “Chian De De’s Marriage Life”. The director sent a production team to Korea to ask Park to take part in the drama in 2011 and it finally became a reality one year and two months later.

In the “Faraway Love”, Shim Ahn, played by Park, will fall in love with unmarried mother Ya Choha, who is living bravely taking care of a child born to her elder sister.

Park Hae Jin said about his casting in the Chinese drama, “I sent thanks to the director Chu who trusted me and waited for a long time. I will let my hair grow long to fit my character in 'Faraway Love' after completing the ongoing shoot of ‘My Daughter Seo Young’”.

The shoot for “Faraway Love” starts in April.

Hallyu actor Park Hae Jin became the first Korean male actor to win the coveted Best Asian Actor award at the 2012 LETV Awards in Beijing on March 31st.

Though Park has only been active in China for about a year, he has been embraced by fans there, and he impressed those in attendance by taking the stage without an interpreter and accepting the award in near-perfect Chinese.

After he received his award, Park changed into an elaborate black and gold outfit resembling royal garb to sing. He chose to perform “For You,” from the original soundtrack of the Chinese drama “Qian Duo Duo Jia Ren Ji” (“Duo Duo’s Marriage”), in which he starred in last year. The song, too, was performed in Chinese, much to the audience’s delight.

More than 200 top entertainers and executives from Chinese media companies attended the LETV Awards, which recognize achievement in film and drama.

The ceremony is broadcast nationwide in China on Honam TV.
