Actor Park Hae-jin -- who has earned pan-Asian fame with his role as a mysterious male lead in tvN drama “Cheese in the Trap” -- is currently in negotiations to star in JTBC’s upcoming drama, “Man to Man,” according to local reports Friday.

He was offered the role of the protagonist, a bodyguard in charge of protecting a top star.

The actor who will play the celebrity has not been decided yet, but the producers are currently searching for an actor who has great on-screen chemistry with Park.

Cable channel JTBC’s drama “Man to Man” is expected to air its pilot episode by the end of 2016.
