Lee Do Hyun Is A Heartthrob Who Can't Escape The Spotlight In "Death's Game"

TVING’s upcoming drama “Death’s Game” has unveiled a glimpse of Lee Do Hyun’s character!

Based on the webtoon of the same name, “Death’s Game” tells the story of a man who gets more than one second chance at life after facing death. Park So Dam will play the role of Death, who sentences a man named Choi Yi Jae (Seo In Guk) to 12 cycles of life and death. 

Lee Do Hyun, who previously worked with “Death’s Game” director Ha Byung Hoon on the hit drama “18 Again,” is said to have proved his loyalty by agreeing to appear in the upcoming drama for his final role before enlisting in the military.

Director Ha Byung Hoon even revealed, “When I was writing the script, I already had Lee Do Hyun in mind while writing the character of Jang Gun Woo.”

In the drama, Jang Gun Woo is a handsome model and heartthrob who attracts attention everywhere he goes for his eye-catching looks. With his ability to transform any location into a runway, Jang Gun Woo has always lived his life surrounded by admirers.

Although he does not have any particular talent or life goals, Jang Gun Woo’s life has been smooth sailing due to his handsome face, which has earned him not only lots of money but also the love of countless women.

In one newly released still from the upcoming drama, Jang Gun Woo is barraged by a horde of female students proffering him gifts. His expressionless face reveals just how ordinary of an occurrence this is for the heartthrob, who has been wildly popular ever since his school days.

However, when Jang Gun Woo does get a rare moment alone—whether smiling to himself under a flowering tree or reading a book on his own—he exudes a completely different aura.

The producers of “Death’s Game” expressed their gratitude to Lee Do Hyun by remarking, “We are deeply thankful to actor Lee Do Hyun, who readily agreed to be part of our drama even when he was about to enlist.”

They added, “If you watch our drama, you’ll be able to see right away why the character of Jang Gun Woo was written with actor Lee Do Hyun in mind. Please look forward to Lee Do Hyun’s performance.”

“Death’s Game” will premiere on December 15. Check out a teaser for the drama here!
