Kim Hye-soo joins star-studded ‘Signal’

Veteran actors Kim Hye-soo, Jo Jin-woong and Lee Je-hoon have confirmed their roles in the upcoming cable TV drama “Signal.”

With the first installment slated for January next year, “Signal” has grabbed public attention from its infancy as a collaboration between “Ghost” screenwriter Kim Eun-hee and “Misaeng” director Kim Won-seok.

The star cast of seasoned actress Kim Hye-soo, actor Jo Jin-woong from 10-million-plus-viewer movies “Roaring Currents” and “Assassination” and rising rookie Lee Je-hoon adds to the flare.

This is the first time for these three actors to take part in cable channel tvN’s drama production.

“Signal” is a criminal-action series involving detectives of the past and present combining forces through an antiquated walkie-talkie to solve an unfinished case.
