New web drama “Secret Message,” starring Korean rapper T.O.P, of BigBang, and Japanese actress Ueno Juri, will air in November. It is a joint Korean-Japanese production.

“T.O.P and Ueno Juri’s new drama, titled ‘Secret Message,’ will air on LINE TV and Naver TV Cast in early November,” Korean production company CJ E&M said on Wednesday.

The online drama features T.O.P, whose real name is Choi Seung-hyun, as Korean guy Woo Hyun and Ueno Juri as Japanese woman Haruka, who overcome the pain of their first love to find a new one.
