Korean actor Jung Il-woo and the cast of TV series "49 Days" will hold a promotional event in Japan this week, according to Jung's agency fantagio on Wednesday.

A press release from fantagio announced that Jung and his co-stars Jo Hyun-jae and Nam Kyu-ri will visit Japan for the "'49 Days' Fanmeeting in Tokyo" on February 3.

The cast will hold several events such as a special screening of the memorable scenes from the show, a question and answer session and live performances by Jung, Jo and Nam who recorded songs for the soundtrack to the series.

“49 Days,” which aired in Korea for two months in March last year, received favorable reviews after its premiere on Japan's KNTV last summer and once again on Fuji TV last fall.

The show tells the story of Shin Ji-hyun (Nam) who is in a coma after getting into a car accident that meets the Scheduler (Jung) who is a modern day angel of death.

He tells her that she needs to get the tear drops of three people that genuinely love her in order to return back into her body while using the body of Song E-kyung (played by Lee Yo-won).
