In 2012, he appeared in his first ever villain role in SBS Five Fingers, his performance captivated viewers and impressed critics. After having spent a few years away from the musical theater scene he finally returned in the year 2013 to perform in "The Days," it was a huge success with critics and audiences, and it helped to popularize once more the jukebox musical.

In 2013, he joined the cast of the historical drama Empress Ki where he played Emperor Huizong until 2014. His role was singlehandedly praised by critics and the viewers. The drama was an uproaring success and also quite a popular phenomenon nationwide, the drama's popularity even transcended overseas.

Because of the drama, Ji Chang Wook started to gain new fans in every corner of Asia. The drama was a success, and his acting was praised once more.
