Hallyu star and original idol Kangta successfully finished his first filming for the new JTBC drama 'Happy Ending.'

Kangta is returning to the Korean small screen after a seven year absence and had his first filming session for 'Happy Ending.'  Kangta plays Koo Seung Jae, a very thorough architect who does a lot of community service work.

According to a staff member of the drama, Kangta came well prepared and worked passionately.  At the beginning it seemed that he was a bit nervous but as the filming went on, he really took on the role and became Koo Seung Jae.  Throughout the filming he would go back and look at the script and speak with director Kwak Young Bum for more advice on what the director wants from him.

A staff member said, "Kangta is better than I expected.  He follows instructions very well and has passion in his acting.  Just as how he exceeded our expectations, we hope that you all look forward to his performance."

'Happy Ending' will air its first episode on April 23rd, and stars Kangta, Choi Min Soo, Shim Hye Jin, Park Jung Chul, Lee Seung Yeon and Soh Yoo Jin.  Drama lovers are also looking forward to the collaboration between famous writer Kim Yoon Jung, who worked on 'KAIST', and director Kwak Young Bum.

'Happy Ending' is a drama about Kim Doo Soo (Choi Min Soo), who has been told that he is terminally ill, making amends with his family.  'Happy Ending' will air on April 23rd at 8:45 pm KST.
