My Take
I have a soft spot for actors who come up through theater, and Lee Sang-yi is exactly that breed. Trained at Korea National University of Arts and seasoned in musicals since 2014, he brings a stage actor's vocal control and timing to everything he does on screen. What impresses me most is his range — he can anchor something as bruising as Bloodhounds and still radiate the easy warmth that carries his lighter roles. Born in 1991, he is entering his prime years, and I suspect that musical-theater foundation will keep paying dividends. He is one of those performers I quietly expect to age into great character work.
