Kim Hee Sun Faces a Bitter Truth in Teaser for "Bittersweet Hell"
JTBC revealed pictures of the script reading session of the upcoming K-drama King the Land, starring Lee Jun Ho and Im Yoon Ah as the main leads.
Lee Jun Ho plays the character of Gu Won in the K-drama. Gu Won lives a perfect life of a chaebol heir of King the Land (a VVIP business lounge). Looks, talent, wealth, grace and charm - there is nothing more he could ask for. But he has an interesting characteristic - he despises fake smiles. And despite having everything, there is one thing Gu Won seeks - his forgotten memories of his mother.
Then there is Cheon Sa Rang (Im Yoon Ah) in the picture. She is a cheerful woman who never lets a smile fade away from her face, which is also the quality her profession demands. She crosses paths with Gu Won and that leads to a bitter-sweet relationship between the duo.
In the script reading session, Lee Joon Ho skillfully portrayed the character of Gu Won by accentuating his character's brusque mannerisms. By exuding a carefree "my way" persona, Gu Won outwardly seems indifferent to the opinions of others, but it's apparent that he harbours a deep sense of loneliness beneath the surface, which serves as a testament to Lee Joon Ho's ability to convey the character's intricate layers.
Im Yoon Ah's dedication to her craft was on full display as she shared her energetic resolve to maintain her bright smile throughout the entirety of the shoot. She fully immersed herself in the character of Cheon Sa Rang, and effortlessly delivered her foreign language lines, showcasing her professionalism and versatility as an actress. As a friendly staff member at the King Hotel, Im Yoon Ah's lovely smile and upbeat energy shone through, leaving a lasting impression on those around her.
The synergy between the leads of the drama Lee Jun Ho and Im Yoon Ah shone in the session giving a glimpse of a charming romantic comedy which the fans have been eagerly anticipating.
King the Land is scheduled for broadcast in June. International fans ca stream the K-drama on Netflix .
