He also teamed up again with "Successful Story of a Bright Girl" costar Jang Na-ra in "You Are My Destiny", a Korean remake of the similarly-titled 2008 Taiwanese drama. Shortly after, he and Jang starred together for the third time in "Old Farewell", about a boxer who travels into the past and re-encounters his recently deceased wife.
