Big Bang's heart-throb T.O.P has taken on the leading male role in a new web drama which is slated for release this coming November.

Starring T.O.P, or Choi Seung Hyun, and Japanese actress Juri Ueno, the drama, "Secret Message," is a Korean-Japanese production set to begin airing online in early November via Naver TV Cast and Line TV.

The romantic drama series is centered on Woo Hyun, a hopeless romantic who clings to the idea of romance despite the painful memories he harbors of his first love and Haruka, a woman with a painful past who hopes to someday fall in love.

Joining the cast is Korean actor Lee Jae Yoon ("Queen of Ambition," "Golden Rainbow," "Heart to Heart") and Korean actress Yoo In Ah ("Secret Garden," "You're the Best Lee Soon Shin," "My Love From Another Star"), who takes on the role of Haruka's roommate.

It's been 5 years since T.O.P last made an appearance in a drama, the last role being the one in which he played himself in the idol-studded drama, "Haru: An Unforgettable Day in Korea."

The upcoming web drama, "Secret Message," is co-produced by Korea's CJ E&M, Japan's Amuse Inc. and Line Corp., a Japanese subsidiary of the Korean portal site, Naver.
