In this photo shoot, which has a concept of going back and forth between reality and fantasy, Lee Jung-suk exudes a rational and calm charm as well as a mysterious aura.
Lee Jung-suk, who plays a lawyer again in "Seocho-dong," his first comeback in three years since the TV series "Big Mouth," said, "I've always loved the role of a lawyer, but I've always loved the role of a lawyer. I ...
" was not a work that focused on the activities of lawyers. In this work, I play a lawyer, but there are not many scenes in the courtroom where I have to make heated arguments and counterarguments.
I think you can think of it as a daily TV series that focuses on the bonds between people. Ahn Joo-hyun is not a person who decided on a profession with lofty intentions, so it is not a typical TV series.
When asked what he gained from this work, he talked about the actors he worked with, saying, "Including myself, Mun Ka-Young, Kang You-Seok, Ryu Hye-Woo,
The main characters are a group of five actors: Yeon, Im Sung Jae, and others. I chose these four actors because I felt they were new to me. It feels like I'm competing with my real character, not the background of the role. The events and emotions are intense.
It's a new kind of TV series where the five of them can sit down and have a meal together and feel like it's fun, rather than waiting and creating synergy. So the actors have to get closer to each other and share their influences.
"It was a very satisfying filming experience," he said. Lee Jung-suk, who is also looking forward to the year of the snake, said, "This year is the year of the snake. I'm born in the year of the snake, so I thought something good would happen this year.
(laughs) To be honest, I thought I wanted to take a little more time off, but I know very well that there are people out there waiting for me, so I've been working really hard since last year and this year.
I made a plan to work hard. So I thought about what genre or work I hadn't done before. The projects I'm going to do are not just interesting ones that I like, but also ones that are challenging.
"I haven't shown it to you yet, but this vow and this choice was meaningful to me," he said.
Because it is such a popular work, making it into a live-action film is likely to be a challenging and adventurous project for the director, actors, and staff, and there will be many things to prepare, but that's what makes it even more interesting.
I think so. I will try my best to refer to the original work and follow the director's directions and do as I'm told." On the other hand, "I Request Approval for Remarriage" is a story about Empress Navier of the Tokyo Imperial University.
It is a romantic fantasy in which she accepts the divorce notice from Emperor Sobiesh and instead requests permission to remarry Prince Heinri of the Western Kingdom.
