Kim Jaejoong recently shared his candid thoughts on filming his upcoming drama “Bad Memory Eraser,” a new MBN romance series set to premiere on August 2 at 9:40 p.m. KST, with subtitles available on Viki.

“Bad Memory Eraser” revolves around a man whose life takes an unexpected turn due to a memory eraser and the woman who becomes his fake first love through memory manipulation. Kim Jaejoong stars as Lee Kun, a former promising tennis player who lost his confidence and self-esteem after an injury. Jin Se Yeon co-stars as neuropsychiatrist Kyung Joo Yeon, whose professional encounter with Lee Kun leads to unintended consequences.

Marking his first significant venture into comic acting, Kim Jaejoong revealed, “There were many times when I suddenly became self-conscious and embarrassed while acting. I was especially embarrassed when I had to act while nearly nude in front of dozens of crew members.” Despite these moments, he found the experience rewarding. “There’s a strong comedy element, but there are also many serious sides to the drama, so it felt like I was playing multiple roles.”

He hopes the drama strikes a chord with viewers. “I hope that [‘Bad Memory Eraser’] becomes a drama that is fun to watch while also touching viewers’ hearts,” he added.

Recalling a particularly amusing scene, he said, “While filming the scene where I talk to the dog Cola, I messed up a lot of takes because I kept bursting out laughing. However, I can confidently say that Cola is the main culprit who messed up more takes than I did.”

Kim Jaejoong also praised his co-stars Jin Se Yeon and Lee Jong Won, who plays his on-screen brother. “Jin Se Yeon has the ability to brighten the filming set with her presence,” he noted. “She never stops smiling, and she is very focused while acting, so I had a lot to learn from her. Kyung Joo Yeon’s comic acting in the drama is especially top-notch, so make sure you don’t miss it.”

Speaking about Lee Jong Won, he shared, “He’s the cutie pie of the filming set. I was impressed by his flexibility during filming, and we’ve now become close like friends.”

When asked about similarities between his character and his real-life personality, Kim Jaejoong highlighted their differences in romantic pursuits. “I’m definitely not the bold-pursuit type,” he admitted.

Describing “Bad Memory Eraser” as a story of growth, Kim Jaejoong concluded, “It’s a drama full of many different kinds of emotion: when you’re frustrated, it can give you a refreshing feeling, and when you feel empty, it can fill you up. I hope that you’ll tune in.”
