South Korean actor Lee Jong-Suk revealed that he has his own strategy when it comes to choosing his next project. The 26-year-old Hallyu star currently stars in MBC's "W - Two Worlds" alongside actress Han Hyo-Joo.
In a recent episode of tvN's "The List," which aired on Aug. 15, Monday, the "Pinocchio" actor shared how he chooses which projects to take a shot at. Lee is best known for his leading roles in 2012's "School 2013", 2013's "I Can Hear Your Voice" and 2014's "Doctor Stranger."
"I like sleeping or watching television at home," Soompi quoted Lee as saying. "I can indirectly experience things by watching dramas. By watching them, I learn and study what the general public prefers."
Whether it is a Korean drama or a movie, Lee's biggest concert is that it is well written and it is something that the public can relate to. Hence, he became the youngest actor in history to be named the Best Actor at the Grimae Awards.
Due to his rising popularity, Lee won the Most Popular Actor award at the 51st Baeksang Arts Awards. A wax figure of him also went on display in Hong Kong's Madame Tussauds, following actors Bae Yong-Joon, Lee Min-Ho, and Kim Soo-Hyun.
Currently, Lee plays Kang Cheol, a protagonist in a comic series world, in MBC's fantasy drama "W - Two Worlds." On Aug. 17, Wednesday, MBC just released a program schedule to several local news outlets, revealing plans to resume broadcast for the drama's eighth episode.
"W - Two Worlds" episode 8 was originally scheduled to air on Aug. 11. Along with the good news are four new images from the eagerly anticipated episode.
In the released photos obtained by Naver TV, Kang Chul (Lee) and Oh Yeon Joo (Han) were standing atop the building where they first met. With the former's undaunted expression and the latter's entirely looking bothered, viewers are anxious as to what is ahead for the on-screen couple.
Meanwhile, a source from the drama's production staff revealed that the entire cast and crew members are working with extra passion and fervor because of all the love they received from the viewers. The source added, "Please continue to send your support for everyone's hard work."
