Korean actor Ji Jin-hee has finished shooting an upcoming Chinese film, according to his agency fantagio.

On Monday, fantagio announced in a press release that Ji, who played the male lead role of Ju-hwan, recently completed filming the Chinese drama tentatively titled "On the Way" which will open in local theaters early next year.

Ji rose to fame for his role in "Jewel in the Palace" in 2003 and has starred in the Hong Kong film "Perhaps Love".

He has appeared in a number of TV series such as “Miss Kim’s Adventures in Making a Million (2004),” “Spotlight (2008),” “The Man Who Can't Get Married (2009)," and films “The Old Garden (2007),” “Bewitching Attraction (2006)” “Soo (2007)” and “Parallel Life (2009).”
