The BL (Boys Love) music drama "Just Like Jazz" has unveiled its casting lineup ahead of its anticipated release in March.

Set to premiere in March, "Just Like Jazz" tells the story of five high school students who grapple with their own struggles and pressures, finding and growing through love and music in a school romance setting.

Starring actors such as Ji Hogeun, Newkidd's Jinkwon, OMEGA X's Hangyeom, and Kim Jungha, this drama is based on the popular webtoon of the same name by author Clarju, which topped the BL webtoon chart on Lezhin Comics in 2017.

Ji Hogeun, portraying the role of Han Tae-i, a genius with exceptional talent and a charming voice, has captivated the audience as a model in numerous advertisements. Transitioning into full-fledged acting through this project, Ji Hogeun, with his cold demeanor and expressionless face as Han Tae-i, is expected to enthrall viewers.

The role of Yoon Seheon, a transfer student and jazz enthusiast at the prestigious Yoan High School, is played by Jinkwon, the leader of the group Newkidd. Having previously starred in HBO Max's "Beyond the Closet" as the first Korean lead and TVING's "To My Star," Jinkwon's portrayal of Seheon, who overcomes his complex feelings towards his father and brother through music and undergoes emotional changes after meeting Tae-i, is anticipated to elevate the drama's emotional depth.

Hangyeom from OMEGA X, known for his positivity and playful personality, takes on the role of Seo Doyoon, a drum prodigy, in the drama. Making his acting debut with "Just Like Jazz," Hangyeom's portrayal of the cheerful Doyoon, who hides a secret behind his optimistic smile, will pique viewers' curiosity about his chemistry with Tae-i.

Kim Jungha, recognized as a hardworking actor for his appearances in various web dramas and SBS's "The Escape of the Seven," portrays the role of Song Juha, the guitarist. With his adorable appearance, Kim Jungha, as Juha, is set to increase viewers' excitement with his youthful chemistry with Doyoon.

In addition to these main cast members, "Just Like Jazz" will feature a diverse lineup of talented rookie actors such as Seong Tae, Kim Minha, and Go Jaehyun.

Directed by Song Soorim, known for the popular BL drama "A shoulder to cry on!" which ranked high on global OTT platforms, "Just Like Jazz" promises to deliver a compelling story with distinctive character settings, intricate psychological depictions, and unexpected plot twists. It also introduces a unique collaboration between jazz and school settings, heralding the birth of a high-quality BL drama.

"Just Like Jazz," the BL music drama, is set to premiere in March.
