That’s good!
wulijohyunjae | September 26, 2009 | 7:00 amJo Hyun-Jae plays the part of Ihyonje in “That’s Good”, the drama that is considered the stepping stone for young actors. It is a considerable role, played for laughs. JHJ felt uncomfortable, like wearing someone else’s clothes. He decided to seriously learn acting skills. He was in the first 66 episodes of “That’s Good” (out of 74), from 2001.11.19 – 2002.3.15.
This video is not of any one episode but an assortment of the scenes that JHJ appears in. He is one of an ensemble cast and there is not much opportunity for acting. In one segment, however, there is an Andre Kim character that is very funny. Even his clothes look like Andre Kim’s.
Watching this 2001 work makes you realize how JHJ has improved and matured over the years. Two years later in “Love Letter” he is already an accomplished actor. And he has not looked back since.

I love the Andre Kim parody, and JHJ even modeled for the fake Andre Kim! How could JHJ have known that years later he would be modelling for the real Andre Kim! I wonder if JHJ remembered this earlier work while walking that runway for the (real) Andre Kim fashion show!
I agree with you when you said that JHJ seemed uncomfortable in this show. But I must say that even then there is an aura of class and elegance to him which is truly amazing considering what he has revealed of his background. Thanks for sharing this video with us, wuliJHJ! Now I know that JHJ’s elegance and class are not contrived at all, he was born with it!!!!
