Lee Yi Kyung, born in 1989, has played supporting roles in many famous TV series such as "Descendants of the Sun", "My Love from the Star", "Hotel Del Luna", "The Servant", "9 Times Back in Time"...
In 2022, he gained attention when he starred in the movie "Suddenly Winning the Lottery" - a work that earned nearly 182 billion VND at the Vietnamese box office. In early 2024, the actor's name spread thanks to his impressive transformation into the "bad boy" Park Min Hwan in the movie "You Go Marry My Husband".
On November 6, Lee Yi Kyung returned to the screen with the project “Face Me”, starring Lee Min Ki and Han Ji Hyun. In the film, he takes on the role of Han Woo Jin - a cheerful and lively plastic surgeon who is always thoughtful, especially towards his friend Cha Jeong Woo (Lee Min Ki).
Sharing about the role, the Korean actor was extremely excited. He hopes that with his acting ability, he can increase the appeal of the film.
“I was drawn to this genre from the start. The role of a plastic surgeon was especially appealing to me. Han Woo Jin is the friendly older brother next door with a cheerful and simple personality. He plays a supporting role, helping Jeong Woo maintain his position and is more like Jeong Woo’s family than his actual family.”
Speaking further about her preparation for the role, Lee Yi Kyung consulted with a plastic surgeon to learn the proper procedures in the operating room and how to suture incisions.
In addition, he often practices cutting and sewing with medical tape at home to become more proficient on set. Wearing glasses for the character is also a way for the male star to change his appearance.
According to Lee Yi Kyung, “Face Me” is a movie with many unexpected twists and gives viewers a reason to watch until the end.
“For me, this is a long-awaited medical drama that combines elements of chase, suspense and mystery. I hope the audience will enjoy “Face Me” and the tension it brings.”
Meanwhile, the media believes that with his proven acting skills through many works, the role of a cheerful doctor will not be difficult for the Korean star.
However, it is unlikely that it will win in viewership ratings, as the work currently airing in this time slot is “Dog Knows Everything” with the highest rating to date only reaching 4.6%.
