Yoon Hyun-min, Choi Jin-hyuk form detective duo for OCN’s Tunnel

by tineybeanie

After his unexpected release from mandatory army service (due to a severe knee injury), Choi Jin-hyuk (Pride and Prejudice), who has been away from the drama scene to recover his health until recently, confirmed his comeback project, OCN’s fantasy-thriller Tunnel. Baseball-player-turned-actor Yoon Hyun-min (Beautiful Mind) will be playing his co-star for the upcoming cable drama. Please excuse me while I swoon in delight.

For Tunnel, Choi Jin-hyuk plays a detective from 1980 who falls through a time-slip portal that leads him to the present. Before his tumble through time, he was pursuing a serial homicide case. In the present, he discovers more links that help him grow closer to finding the murderer. Remind anyone of any recent highly successful cop dramas? *cough* Signal *cough* Not that I’m complaining…

Adding more excitement to the hype, Yoon Hyun-min will be playing Choi Jin-hyuk’s partner in crime-solving. His character is described as an odd type of elite detective who rarely goes on-site. Suave and fashionably chic at first glance, he doesn’t seem like the stereotypical police investigator, but his intellect and skills are top-notch. His cold, calculating, evidence-based approach to cases is supposed to be a foil for Choi Jin-hyuk’s human-driven, hands-on approach.

Just imagining the tall duo bromancing it up with their intense gazes has gotten me shivering with anticipation. Chungmuro actress Lee Yoo-young (The Treacherous) has also confirmed her part as the psychology professor from England who helps the detective pair solve their case.

Time-travel drama Tunnel, starring Choi Jin-hyuk, Yoon Hyun-min, and Lee Yoo-young, will be broadcast on OCN this coming March.

Ok, now I'm really interested in this drama.

Please be a good role for Yoon Hyun-min!! His last role in Beautiful Mind was meh, not great.

The writer behind Tunnel is not familiar though.....

Ok, now they've got my attention! I've only seen Yoon Hyun Min in Witch's Romance where I grew to love his wacky spinach character and I'm curious to see him in more serious fare.

That is the only poject I have seen him in as well. He was definitely enjoyable in it. I had no idea he was a professional baseball player though! That's pretty cool!

You both should watch Heartless City. Although he is a supporting character (the best friend of the main male lead), he is brilliant on the role! And he wears a lot of bright colored suits, haha (:

Yoon Hyun-min did well in Heartless City and I love his bromance with Jung Kyung-ho. It was one of the few saving graces of that drama.

And Falling For Innocent with also Jung Kyung Ho and Kim Seo Yeon, he was the manipulative evil friend.

I think i read somewhere that him an JKH are real life friends.

Adding Discovery of Romance to the list. He played a supporting character but I enjoyed his performance with Kim Seul Gi there! They were so funny and cute together. I actually thought he was a comedian, until I saw Heartless City & Falling for Innocence.

You definitely got to watch Heartless City. One of the best k-dramas, imho.

Oh heck YEAH! I am so tuning in for this. They had me at Choi Jin-hyuk but now I am even more ready for this to start airing. March is so far away. But I'm willing to wait with eager anticipation.

I was just thinking about him the other day and now i get this news! I was not planning to watch this drama and was skipping all tje articles related to it as i was not interested but Yoon hyun min's nake caught my attention. Now i have to watch this drama.

P.s. Those who haven't seen many of his drama should definitely check out Heartless city, Discovery of romance and Falling for innocence (though jung kyung ho stole the show as james kang/kang min ho). Watch it guys it's all worth it!

Wow I like these two male leads. And this storyplot reminds me of Signal. Signal 2 ?? Lol.

I guessed that there won't be any or much about the romance line. As far as I know OCN's dramas normally hardly have any romance line.
