Actor Lee Tae-hwan is perfectly taking over the short-form drama market and writing a new definition of the "second-generation chaebol" character.
Lee Tae-hwan is delivering intense performances that swing between cold charisma and passionate pure love through DramaBox's short-form drama "Let's Get Married 1+2," properly stimulating viewers' dopamine.
"Let's Get Married 1+2" is a work that depicts the process of a woman, whose life reached a turning point due to the schemes of a stepmother and half-sibling in the past, entering a new phase through an unexpected connection and marriage.
Lee Tae-hwan plays the role of second-generation chaebol Lee Hyun-woo. He appears cold and prickly on the outside, but in fact he is a persistent "pure lover" who, unable to forget a one-night encounter from five years ago, searches for that person as his lifelong partner.
Especially whenever the female lead No Seo-yoon (played by Kim Seung-yoon) is in danger, he appears like a comet to save her and cares for her with seemingly indifferent kindness, exploding viewers' thrill meters. Based on his distinctive physicality and stable acting skills, Lee Tae-hwan is said to have breathed life into what could have been a mundane chaebol character.
This work became an opportunity to once again prove that Lee Tae-hwan is an actor whose charm and acting depth work even in the short-form genre. Given that quick pacing is vital to short-form drama and immersion must be raised in a short time, Lee Tae-hwan perfectly handled it with solid fundamentals.
Thanks to these activities, "Let's Get Married 1+2" topped DramaBox's popularity rankings immediately after its release and continues to maintain a high position, riding a wave of box office success. It is the result of Lee Tae-hwan's clever ability to inhabit characters across genres shining through.
Since debuting in 2013, Lee Tae-hwan has steadily built his filmography by appearing in major works such as the drama "W," "My Golden Life," "What's Wrong with Secretary Kim," and "Thirty-Nine." Especially in his comeback work after military discharge, "DNA Lover," where he showed the archetype of a sincere younger man, he now displays a more mature masculinity and romantic charm through this short-form drama.<
