Drama Casting & News
Junki’s hero role confirmed
by | December 16, 2008 | 25 Comments

There were some questions raised after preliminary news came out about Lee Junki‘s new drama series, but it’s official now: Lee Junki will be taking a (modern-day) hero role starring in the drama Unseen War [보이지 않는 전쟁].

(The series has a new title, but the plot is the same as before, when it was called “Heroes” or “Strange Heroes.” Lee plays a man fixated purely on success who loses a loved one, then decides to fight crime on behalf of the weak.)

    This new roll sounds very similar to Iljimae (hero fighting for justice on behalf of the weak/poor)

    As versatile as he is, why not choose something different, more refreshing & challenged.

    It also sounds like Batman. Which would be pretty cool if Korea decided to take a dramatic dramatic approach to this….however, I doubt it. I’m just picturing this turning out as a cheesy comedy. Blerg.

    waht a great new! I’m really happy to see Jun Ki in a new drama.
    He is a very talented actor!!

  4. Auntie Mame

    Sounds like Peter Parker, Spider-man. Perhaps, not with super-powers?

    Hope the script is good.

    It sounds potentially good. I’m not a Junki fan usually but his sounds like something I may watch.

    It’ll be either very fun to watch or terrible. I’m on the fence for that desicion until hearing more details about it.

    if it’s Lee Jun Ki I’ll surely watch it!……sorry folks, just can’t resist his pretty face…..

  8. peachys2sleep

    sounds like iljimae again

    Similar to Iljimae…

    But I think that the reason why he chose this drama is because it’s probably
    dedicated to Mentor…

    Fixated on success…but then he fights injustice to save the world…

    Mentor is fixated on success…and Junki is the one to save the day :)

    Can’t wait to watch this drama :)

    Junki, fighting!!!

    i was just wondering when is it going to be aired? heard this news a while a go but still no news when it’ll be released. I am so thrilled to watch this new drama of his. The previous two action dramas of his are certainly in my favourite list. hope this one would be too.

    Oh dear, another fighting one ?
    I was hoping for something more challenging, something he can’t do ? Heroes, fighting, we’ve all seen him in action like that already. Iljimae was good, but he only started fighting in the middle of the series. I really hope his next one turns out to be good. I’m really interested if this turns out good or not.
    Thanks LeeJunKi (:
    Put in your best effort ! I’ll still watch it even if it’s bad.

    Talented , good looking actor , again will shadow leading actress as always .It is
    very hard to have K actress compatible to K actor . In Cain and Abel , SJS is far more talented , more cool cute looking than HJM , again in capital scandal KJK is more good looking than HJM .
    For me , only in Jumong , lead actor and actress are compartible in talent and in look .
    HJM is only looks good in traditional outfits , she is to short for fashion outfits , just my opinions .
