Lee Jong-suk is solidifying public trust.
Lee Jong-suk is presenting a new paradigm of everyday drama through the tvN weekend drama "Seochodong" (written by Lee Seung-hyun, directed by Park Seung-woo, planned by CJ ENM Studios, produced by Chorokbaem Media). He is constantly expanding his own spectrum from fantasy to reality.
An actor who makes you believe in fantasy, Lee Jong-suk. In dramas like "I Can Hear Your Voice", "W", and "While You Were Sleeping", Lee Jong-suk has firmly established his place in the fantasy drama throne with the power to make unrealistic settings feel real. Whether it's a high school student with the ability to hear the thoughts of others, a character torn from a comic, or a prosecutor who sees future events in prophetic dreams, the moment Lee Jong-suk's face and gaze come together, these fantastical figures feel vividly alive, as if they are breathing somewhere, drawing viewers effortlessly into the captivating fantasy world he has created.
Leading the K-drama fantasy syndrome, Lee Jong-suk did not settle into one genre. In his first romantic comedy, "Romance Is a Bonus Book", he hit the audience's preference with the face of a kind adult man who knows how to express even the feelings of love as part of emotions. In the drama "Big Mouth", he showcased the desperate survival story of lawyer Park Chang-ho (played by Lee Jong-suk), who was wrongfully imprisoned, with peak acting skills that drew admiration every episode. With this, Lee Jong-suk proved himself as an actor worthy of trust, earning his second award following "W".
Lee Jong-suk's limitless acting spectrum is shining once again in "Seochodong". Portraying a working lawyer, Ahn Joo-hyung (played by Lee Jong-suk) who merely lives each day, he accurately captures the warmth of a character that could be next to us in a realistic manner. As a character who endures daily life in a complicated world, his compelling performance in stacking narratives from everyday life has led "Seochodong" to renew its highest viewership ratings every week. Lee Jong-suk fills the weekend evenings with the comforting warmth of everyday life, making viewers want to keep an eye on Ahn Joo-hyung's "today".
In this way, Lee Jong-suk is writing a limitless drama filmography by traversing various genres and characters. From stories in fantasy to intense tales stained with blood, sweat, and tears, and to the ordinary daily life of survival. Although Lee Jong-suk presents a different face each time, he invariably leads to the 'peak of immersion', and the world of dramas he builds always surpasses everyone's expectations.
Meanwhile, Lee Jong-suk's exceptional foresight in choosing works has once again hit the mark with the drama "Seochodong", which airs every Saturday and Sunday at 9:20 p.m. on tvN.
