Another hero role for Lee Junki
| November 30th, 2008 |
After a short break following his sageuk drama Iljimae, Lee Junki is back with his next project: an SBS weekend drama called Strange Heroes (working title).
In Strange Heroes, Lee Junki is a man who’d spent his life using his genius purely for the sake of furthering his own success. Upon a loved one’s death, he realizes belatedly the error of his ways and decides to fight against the evils of the world on behalf of those who are virtuous but weak.
(So: Iljimae v.2.0? Or perhaps it should be v.3.0, given that a second version is already in the works with Jung Il-woo playing the folk hero in Return of Iljimae.)
The drama will pair Lee’s lead role with pathetic or oddball characters in fighting crime, which gives us the “strange heroes” of the title (so, more like Hong Gil Dong v.2.0 then?). It’ll air next April.
