Simply become one of my favorite. The reason? Not only can I relate to the story and the characters, but every movie-making element is flawless. The acting is superb and the direction is worthy of a standing ovation.

Actor Lee Jung-jae was discovered by designer Ha Yong-soo while he was working at a cafe in the Gangnam district, then worked as a fashion model for a number of years. Upon making his acting debut with the 1993 TV drama Dinosaur Teacher, he became a star practically overnight, and was almost always cast in lead roles thereafter.

In September 2021, Lee starred as Seong Gi-hun, the main protagonist of Netflix’s hit survival drama Squid Game. Series creator and director Hwang Dong-hyuk said he chose to cast Lee as Gi-hun as to ‘destroy his charismatic image portrayed in his previous roles.’
