Yoon Kye-sang from g.o.d and UEE from After School are meeting viewers by playing title roles in the dramas "The Kidnapping Day" and "Live Your Own Life" respectively. Lee Jun-young, a former UKISS member, once again made an eye-catching impression with his extraordinary acting skills in the drama "Mask Girl".

Yoon Kye-sang is showing a new face as an actor with ENA's new Wednesday-Thursday drama "The Kidnapping Day". The drama is a comic birdie thriller about the world's special collaboration between a clumsy kidnapper and an 11-year-old genius girl. In the drama, Yoon Kye-sang plays the role of a sloppy kidnapper. "The Kidnapping Day" marked the beginning of a good start with a 1.8% viewer rating on the 13th.

Yoon Kye-sang steadily gained ground as an actor and caught the public's attention with the movie "The Outlaws". Having brutally created Zhang Chen with his long hair and Yanbian dialect, he continued to show various acting spectra in various works. However, he did not give a new impression by playing a professional character he mainly played, but in this work, he shows a new appearance by transforming into a comic and sloppy father-role. Yoon Kye-sang also raised fans' expectations by saying, "Through "The Kidnapping Day", we will be able to see a bright and funny side of me from when I was in g.o.d".

UEE, who is the epitome of healthy beauty during After School, meets viewers with the title role of KBS2's signature weekend drama "Live Your Own Life". Earlier in 2019, UEE starred in another KBS weekend drama, "My Only One" achieving a viewer rating of nearly 50%, the first time she played a title role. "Live Your Own Life" will feature Hyo-shim, who is devoted to her family, making her own life. UEE plays a bright and positive Hyo-shim in the drama. "Live Your Own Life" started with 16.5% in the first episode on the 16th.

KBS is struggling as weekend dramas, which guaranteed viewership in the 30% range, remain in the early 20% range for three consecutive dramas. In this situation, UEE came out as a relief pitcher. She also expressed pressure, saying, "This is the first time that my solo picture is hung in KBS", but the fact that KBS presents UEE in its flagship drama shows her solid position as an actress.

Lee Jun-young, a former member of the boy group UKISS, has also grown into a leading role and is solidifying his career as an actor. Lee Jun-young tried to make a strong change in acting by playing a violent man who takes advantage of the main character in Netflix's "Mask Girl", which was recently released and became a box-office sensation. He drew favorable reviews by drawing the character with a dense look, tone, behavior, and facial expression that feels alive.

Lee Jun-young will show his romantic chemistry with actress Pyo Ye-jin as he was cast in the role of the arrogant successor to a chaebol house who does not believe in people in the TVING original "Dreaming of Cinde Fxxxing Rella" which is scheduled to be released next year. Not only this but also the release of dramas "The Impossible Heir", "When Life Gives You Tangerines", movies "Brave Citizen", and "Badland Hunters" is about to be released. As such, he is heralding a great performance as an actor.
