Kim Jung-hyun to Grace 'A Hundred Memories' with Special Appearance, Promises Warm 'Daddy Long Legs' Role

Actor Kim Jung-hyun is set to make a special appearance in JTBC's new Saturday-Sunday drama, 'A Hundred Memories,' sparking anticipation among viewers.

In the drama, Kim Jung-hyun will portray 'Jung-hyun,' a seemingly chic law student from a prestigious university, hinting at a heartwarming youthful vibe. 'A Hundred Memories' unfolds in the 1980s, depicting the radiant friendship between Yeong-rye (played by Kim Da-mi) and Jong-hee (played by Shin Ye-eun), both bus conductors on route 100, and the poignant first love surrounding Jae-pil (played by Heo Nam-joon), a man whose fate becomes intertwined with the two friends. This retro youth melodrama promises to capture the essence of first love.

The character 'Jung-hyun,' as played by Kim Jung-hyun, appears playful and somewhat sly, yet harbors a peculiar warmth towards Yeong-rye, his friend's younger sister. He is poised to add a gentle warmth to the narrative by acting as a 'Daddy Long Legs'-like figure, supporting Yeong-rye's dreams and offering encouragement amidst her reality. Kim Jung-hyun has previously demonstrated his solid acting prowess through various works, including KBS's 'Fix You,' MBC's 'Kokdu: Season of Deity,' tvN's 'Mr. Queen,' and the film 'Innocent Witness.' His performance in 'A Hundred Memories' is highly anticipated.

Meanwhile, 'A Hundred Memories' is scheduled to premiere on the 13th at 9:30 PM.

Kim Jung-hyun debuted in 2017 with the drama 'Hit the Top.'

He has showcased a wide acting spectrum in various genres, including 'Time,' 'Crash Landing on You,' and 'May It Please You.'

In his recent work, 'Kokdu: Season of Deity,' he received critical acclaim for his stable performance as a lead actor.
