The drama will begin airing on Nov. 2.

At a press conference for "Secret Message," T.O.P expressed his desire to show how his acting has improved since his last role in the drama "Iris."
"It has been seven years since my last drama 'Iris.' I have tried my best with a strong sense of responsibility to show people how I have improved as an actor," said T.O.P.

T.O.P also expressed excitement about working with Ueno, who is known for roles in Japanese dramas such a "Nodame Cantabile" and "Last Friends."

"Because I enjoyed Ueno Juri's dramas, I was very excited and was looking forward to meeting her when I heard she was cast as my partner," explained T.O.P.

Korea Times reports that "Secret Message" will be comprised of 18 episodes and each episode will have 10 minute runtime. The episodes will be streamed via Naver TV Cast and LINE TV. The drama will also air in Japan on DTV.

Japanese actress Ueno Juri and singer-actor T.O.P of BIGBANG appeared on the V app at 8 p.m. on Wednesday to talk about their upcoming Web-drama “Secret Message.”

During their special show, the two casually exchanged conversation and answered various questions fans were curious about. 
T.O.P revealed his expectations were high when he heard Ueno Juri would play opposite him. 

“I liked Ueno Juri’s works and her acting style,” T.O.P said. “When I heard that I will finally be meeting her through this drama, I got curious. My expectation was high on the kind of synergy (we would) create.”

Ueno said she didn’t listen to BIGBANG’s songs on purpose. After she knew T.O.P would be acting with her, she didn’t listen to them because she wanted to think of him as for the role of Woo-hyun, instead of as a member of BIGBANG. 

“But I heard BIGBANG is having a concert in Japan in the future,” she said. “I will definitely go.” 

They also revealed that the two exchanged text messages prior to meeting each other in person.

“I texted her first,” said T.O.P.

But later, Ueno revealed that one of the texts she received was to tell her to watch his new music video “Bae Bae,” drawing laughter from the audience. “I haven’t watched (the music video) yet though,” said Ueno. 

The upcoming romantic drama tells the story between Korean man Woo-hyun, played by T.O.P, and Japanese woman Haruka, played by Ueno, both of whom are searching for new love to overcome pains from past relationships.
