Ten Asia, a South Korean media source, announced on March 3, 2023, that NCT’s Yuta has been confirmed to appear as the protagonist in the upcoming Japanese series, Play it Cool, Guys. The drama is based on the Cool Doji Danshi manga series and examines the lives of four main characters whose beliefs are intertwined. Through their growing relationship, the four protagonists in Play it Chill, Guys learn the essence of existence.
Fujioka Maito, Sakurada Dori, and Kawanishi Takumi star in the thriller, which also stars NCT’s Yuta. Kokone Nata produced the Cool Donji Danshi manga series.
NCT’s Yuta will play a 20-year-old university student in the movie, “Play it Cool, Guys”
In the live-action drama, NCT’s Yuta will portray Ichikura Hayate, a charming 20-year-old university student. Despite his looks and charisma, the character is awkward and frequently embarrassed when he makes mistakes. Although he looks strong on the outside, he is a sensitive individual on the inside. The program will follow NCT’s character Yuta as he overcomes his daily challenges and moves on with his life.
Meanwhile, Fujioka Maito will portray Futami Shun, a muscular high school student. The 17-year-old behaves as if he does everything on purpose, and the comic depicts him as a sports fan. Sakurada Dori will play the role of salaryman Mima Tayayukuri, who is described as uncaring even when she makes mistakes. Because he didn’t feel comfortable with his colleagues at work, the 27-year-old would get involved with high school and college students.
According to the manga series and its plot, the three characters will be joined by Kawanishi Takumi, a cheerful student who enjoys his life and is currently enrolled in a professional design school. Viewers are already excited for the upcoming slice-of-life drama, where four main characters from various origins come together to solve their individual problems and live their daily lives.
Netizens are also eagerly awaiting the return of NCT’s Yuta as an entertainer and cannot control their excitement. Many people turn to social media to express their feelings.
One follower tweeted:
“I’m so happy for you, Yuta!” You have come a long way for this! I can’t express how much I adore you!”
