Lee Jong Suk recently had a photoshoot and interview with Singles magazine. On that occasion, the actor discussed the drama projects he is currently working on, starting from "Seochodong" to "The Remarried Empress".
First, Lee Jong Suk revealed his preparations for starring in the drama adaptation of the popular webtoon "The Remarried Empress." "Since the drama is based on a very popular fantasy web novel, I think turning it into a live-action drama will be a challenge and an adventure for the director, actors, and staff," he said.
"There are a lot of things to prepare, but that makes it even more interesting. I will definitely use the original work as a reference, and I will follow the director's instructions and do exactly as he tells me," added Lee Jong Suk. Next, regarding the drama "Seochodong" which he starred in with Moon Ga Young .
"In my upcoming project 'Seochodong', I play a character who wears glasses for the first time. After choosing a pair of glasses, you have to wear the same pair throughout the series, so I was very meticulous in finding the right glasses," he said.
Lee Jong Suk also talked about the differences in his acting in "Seochodong" compared to his role in his last drama "Big Mouth," where he also played a lawyer. "Although, I played a lawyer in my last drama, the story didn't really focus on the character's job as a lawyer," he said.
"In this drama, I fully portray the job of a lawyer, but there aren't many scenes with heated arguments or rebuttals in the courtroom. It's an ensemble piece that focuses more on human relationships, so you can think of it as a drama about life. (My character) Joo Hyung didn't choose his career for some grand purpose," added Lee Jong Suk.
Lee Jong Suk also gave a little spoiler about his character's personality. "On the contrary, he becomes a lawyer more with the mindset of, 'Well, I'm good at studying and arguing, so why not give it a try?' The fact that he's not overly dramatic is one of his main traits," he added. Next, Lee Jong Suk was asked about the most meaningful experience he had this year.
"This year is the Year of the Snake, right? I was born in the Year of the Snake, so I have a vague feeling that everything will go well this year," he said. Lee Jong Suk revealed that he actually wanted to rest more. "However, I also know that there are people waiting for me. That's why, starting last year, I was determined to really work hard this year," he added.
Lee Jong Suk then said, "I started planning and asking myself, 'What genre or project have I not done yet?' The projects I will do are not about doing what I like or enjoy, but more about taking on new challenges. Although they have not been revealed yet, these resolutions and choices are very meaningful to me," he concluded.
