Lee Jae-wook

Lee Jae-wook is one of the most exciting young Korean actors I'm tracking right now. Born in Seoul in 1998 and educated at Chung-Ang University, he announced himself early in Memories of the Alhambra and then swept up acting awards through Extraordinary You, Do Do Sol Sol La La Sol, and especially Alchemy of Souls. What I value is his range: he can play cold menace, romantic warmth, and comedy without losing himself. The modeling background gives him obvious screen presence, but it's the emotional flexibility that convinces me. I suspect he's only just beginning, and I expect him to become a defining face of the next K-drama wave.
