“Boys Over Flowers” star Kim Hyun-joong is considering a return to the small screen.

According to KeyEast Entertainment, the actor’s handler, Kim has recently been offered a leading role in the upcoming drama series “When Time Stopped”, a 12-part fantasy-romance. He would play a time traveler living a lonely life. But Kim has not yet decided whether to take the offer, the agency revealed.

The singer-actor rose to fame when he played one of the leads of the 2009 mega-hit Korean series “Boys Over Flowers”. He played the role of Yoon Ji Hoo, a member of four successors from the powerhouses in South Korea named F4, the symbol of Shinhwa High School. In the drama, Shinhwa High School is a school where children of the rich and powerful attend.

Kim’s latest small screen work was the drama series “Inspiring Generation” in 2014. A former member of idol group SS501, he released a single in November and held fan events and concerts. He also recently renewed his contract with his agency.

“When Time Stopped” is likely to shoot in July, in anticipation of an October airing, K-Pop Herald reports. JB
