Actor Lee Jae-wook mentioned the burden of playing two roles at once.
On the afternoon of the 29th at The Saint in Guro District, Seoul, a production presentation was held for KBS 2TV's new Saturday-Sunday miniseries Last Summer (directed by Min Yeon-hong / written by Jeon Yu-ri / produced by Monster Union, Slingshot Studio). The event featured director Min Yeon-hong and actors Lee Jae-wook, Choi Seong-eun, and Kim Gun-woo grants discussing the series.
Last Summer is a remodeling romance drama in which a man and woman who have been friends since childhood confront the truth of their first love hidden in Pandora's box, and it will premiere on Nov. 1 at 9:20 p.m.
That day Lee Jae-wook plays both twins Baek Do-ha and Baek Do-young in Last Summer. It is his first time taking on two roles in one work, and he confessed, "First of all, I felt burdened because it's my first time playing two roles."
He said, "There had to be distinguishing points, so we discussed this, but due to the nature of the script there are scenes that create confusion between Do-ha and Do-young. So while they have similar aspects, it was difficult to express them differently," adding, "Among the many things we discussed, gestures and hand movements that can show an improvisational side emerged. Do-young performed with emotional and calm acting."
Lee Jae-wook said, "When I looked at the overall framework, I thought people might be confused because the same face appears, but after filming I felt it was expressed better than expected, so I'm satisfied with myself."
Meanwhile, KBS2's Last Summer will premiere on Nov. 1 at 9:20 p.m.
