Actor Lee Sang Yi transforms into a detective with a relentless tracking instinct, injecting intense tension into living rooms.
The new MBC Friday-Saturday drama A Bona fide Killer, which premieres at 9:50 p.m. on the 31st, is a work that depicts the hard-fought struggle of a working mom with the most dangerous job in the world.
In the drama, Lee Sang Yi plays Detective Lee Dong-jin, a lieutenant in the Violent Crimes 2 team at the southern precinct. A top detective boasting a high crime clearance rate and a figure who has staked everything on catching the Kingfisher, he stands on the front line of investigations with the single conviction of making sure the law delivers judgment. His relentless pursuit and unwavering conviction are expected to drive the drama's tension.
Lee Sang Yi said she chose the project because the original webtoon meant viewers know the culprit from the start yet the suspense is so compelling that you cannot relax until the end.
He said, I am usually playful, but Dong-jin is a very serious and weighty figure. Above all, since he has chased the Kingfisher for a long time, I wanted to look like someone whose mind is entirely filled with thoughts of the culprit.
He cited black wolf, mole and obsession as keywords that describe Lee Dong-jin. Lee Sang Yi said, I thought the way he always wears black clothes and relentlessly runs toward his goal resembled a wolf, and the way he constantly digs into cases is like a mole, and above all, obsession is the word that best explains Lee Dong-jin.
On the synchronization with the character, he said, The way Dong-jin moves steadily toward the goal of "I will catch the Kingfisher with my own hands" without wavering is similar to me in that when I have one goal I tend to push it through to the end.
Lee Sang Yi also urged viewers to tune in, saying, A Bona fide Killer is a work that blends action, chase, family love and romance, and I am confident it will be a new and interesting drama. The cast and production team have all prepared hard, so please show a lot of interest and love. Please watch until the end to see whether I can catch the Kingfisher.
