The backbone actors of SBS
"Iljimae" are becoming a hot issue. They are
Lee Moon-sik,
Kim Chang-wan, and
Ahn Kil-kang.
Lee Moon-sik, who plays the role of Swe-dol, showed his 'passion' by volunteering to taking out his teeth to differentiate from his character in "
Damo". The producers, who were moved, inserted the story of his teeth coming out in the drama.
In the drama, Swe-dol will face the danger of getting his wrist cut off from Byeon-shik (
Lee Won-jong) because he assaulted Shi-wan. But eventually, it will change to him getting his teeth pulled. They will show him without his front teeth.
Following his role in "
King and I",
Ahn Kil-kang drew attention when he shaved his head for his role of a fake Buddhist monk. In
"Iljimae", he has the important role of Bong-soon's (
Lee Yeong-ah) adoptive father and martial arts teacher to Iljimae.
Kim Chang-wan is growing a beard to fulfill the role of king. He is working carefully to exhibit a realistic charisma as the villain who corners his younger brother Lee Won-ho into death.
There is anticipation if the backbone actors will bring more popularity to
"Iljimae", which secured its spot as a top drama after its first broadcast.
"Main actors' fighting spirit, Will "Iljimae" soar?"
