Lee Sang-woo has transformed from Koo Se-ju to 'Joon'.
Lee Sang-woo, who captured women's hearts in SBS "First Wives' Club", is attempting to capture female movie goers as an innocent, charming man in the movie "Beyond All Magic".
If Koo Se-ju in "First Wives' Club" was the wealthy, good-looking, well-mannered, ideal man, the Lee Sang-woo in "Beyond All Magic" is the awkward charming boy you remember as your first love.
Lee Sang-woo plays Joon, who provokes the evil intentions of three mother-daughter couples. With his lacking yet bright, uncorrupted spirit, he shows Nam-hee (Shin Hye-jin) the forgotten feelings of love, Kan-nan (Kim Soo-mi) the wonderful memories of her 20s, and Na-rae (Lee Da-hee) the importance of family.
Interest for Lee Sang-woo comes from more than the three characters in the movie. After the press conference, the message board was filled with messages such as "Lee Sang-woo seems warm-hearted" and "His acting, body, and looks are all perfect".

"Girl Scout", directed by Kim Sang-man, will hit theaters on June 5, featuring well-known actors such as Kim Seon-ah, Nah Moon-hee, Lee Kyeong-sil. The film will test whether the audiences still have an appetite for a chase-the-money drama with fewer funny moments than publicized.
Waiting in line for the June 12 release are four Korean films: "Life is Cool", "Beyond All Magic", "Spare" and "Like Father, Like Son". ... |More
