Aug 04, 2024

TV Chosun’s upcoming drama “DNA Lover” has unveiled a new glimpse of Lee Tae Hwan in character!

“DNA Lover” is a romantic comedy starring Jung In Sun as Han So Jin, a genetic researcher who has been through countless failed relationships. As she searches for her destined partner through genes, she winds up becoming entangled with sensitive obstetrician Shim Yeon Woo (played by Super Junior’s Choi Siwon).

Lee Tae Hwan will star in the drama as Seo Kang Hoon, a handsome firefighter who always prioritizes Han So Jin.

In newly released stills from the upcoming drama, Seo Kang Hoon wears a serious expression after being dispatched to an emergency situation. The firefighter initially looks troubled as he inspects his surroundings, but his gaze soon turns determined as he prepares to jump headfirst into the emergency. Despite the obvious danger to his own safety, Seo Kang Hoon fearlessly thinks of nothing else aside from rescuing those in need.

Describing how he prepared for his role, Lee Tae Hwan recalled, “Because this was my first time playing a firefighter, I researched [the profession] through a wide variety of platforms and studied up on the information I found.”

“Before filming began, I went to a fire station and learned how to use their real-life equipment and uniforms,” he continued, “and I also prepared by asking an expert teacher lots of questions.”

Praising his dedication to bringing Seo Kang Hoon to life, the “DNA Lover” production team remarked, “Lee Tae Hwan, who had never played a firefighter before, poured his all into portraying the character of Seo Kang Hoon in a realistic way. Please look forward to Lee Tae Hwan’s impressive transformation, which will thoroughly reveal his hidden charms that viewers haven’t had a chance to see yet.”
