South Korean network tvN has released the first teaser for its upcoming historical drama Inspector Joy, starring 2PM’s Taecyeon and Live On’s Kim Hye-yoon. In the clip, Taecyeon and Kim dramatically turn towards the camera in slow motion as a crowd of villagers carrying torches run towards an unseen force. 

Inspector Joy is currently set to premiere sometime this November. Inspector Joy will star Taecyeon as Ra Yi-eon, a young cook who unwittingly finds himself a job as secret royal inspector – a government official who goes undercover to expose corruption. 

He soon teams up with Kim Jo-yo (played by Kim Hye-yoon), as a recently divorced woman who’s ready to start a new phase in her life. Inspector Joy will be directed by Yoo Jong-sun, known for his work on Designated Survivor: 60 Days and What’s Wrong With Secretary Kim, and written by Lee Jae-yoon, who previously helmed The Updateable. 

Earlier this year 2021, Taecyeon co-starred in the popular crime drama series Vincenzo.  The series was led by Song Joong-ki, in his first lead TV tole in two years since Arthdal Chronicles, as well as Jeon Yeo-been. Ok Taecyeon is the main rapper of the South Korean boy band 2PM.

In other 2PM news, member Chansung has been cast in the upcoming romance drama series Show Window: The Queen’s House, alongside Jeon So-min. The show is scheduled to premiere this November and will run for 16 episodes, though other details about the drama are scarce at the moment.
