Actor Ha Seok-jin appears in KBS2's new Saturday-Sunday miniseries To My Beloved Thief (writer Lee Seon, director Ham Young-geol, produced by Studio Dragon) and shows an acting transformation.
To My Beloved Thief is a dangerous and grand romance drama in which a woman who accidentally becomes the greatest thief in the land and the general who pursued her swap souls, save each other and ultimately protect the people; young actors including Nam Ji-hyun and Moon Sang-min join the cast to add fun and balance to the story.
Actor Ha Seok-jin plays King Lee Gyu of Joseon in the drama. Lee Gyu appears calm and indifferent on the surface, but internally he holds unshakable conviction and a strong will for power. Known for handling diverse characters with an intelligent and neat image, Ha Seok-jin in this work is expected to express the character's complex charm through a firmer manner and refined tension.
Actor Ha Seok-jin has steadily built his presence by showing a wide acting spectrum in various genres such as the dramas Homssulnamnyeo, Radiant Office, When I Was Most Beautiful, and Blind. He has also built a more three-dimensional image by gaining popular favor with clear thinking and a composed charm in variety shows such as the Netflix The Devil's Plan. In this work, he is expected to show another kind of atmosphere and expand his new acting texture.
Management Gu, his agency, said that actor Ha Seok-jin will take on the role of King Lee Gyu in To My Beloved Thief and will show a tone of acting different from before, adding that audiences will be able to see deeper expressiveness and emotional lines within his characteristically stable and neat atmosphere.
After a long time returning to drama to meet viewers again, interest is growing in what presence actor Ha Seok-jin will show through the character King Lee Gyu. Viewers' expectations are rising about how his calm expressiveness and steady pacing will lead the drama's tension and flow.
KBS 2TV's new Saturday-Sunday drama To My Beloved Thief will premiere at 9:20 p.m. on Jan. 3 next year.
