Lee Sang-woo joins Believe in Love

Lee Sang-woo (Life Is Beautiful, Penthouse Elephant) just wrapped on the set of the family drama Life Is Beautiful as one half of the most talked about onscreen couple in a long time–a loving, healthy gay couple, opposite Song Chang-eui. He’s going from one family drama to the next, as he joins the set of the upcoming weekend family drama Believe in Love, produced by the PD-writer team of Sons of Sol Pharmacy.

Lee will be playing a second-generation chaebol with a lot of pain in his past. Oh, THAT’s new. I don’t know why in k-dramas a dude can’t just play a dude. He’s gotta own fleets of cars and museums and be the illegitimate son of some egomaniacal crazy daddy who plans to take over the world. Via baking. Or what have you.

His character will fall for Park Joo-mi, who happens to be MARRIED, to Lee Jae-ryong‘s character. He’ll know that she’s married, but continue to love her anyway. Hm. On paper this seems like an instantly hateable character, but then, Park Shi-hoo is playing exactly the same type in Queen of Reversals currently, and I find him completely endearing and in no way evil. Just sweet and naive. So there’s potential for Lee Sang-woo to keep this character upbeat and likeable. It helps that he’s also a cutie patootie.

Lee said, “I’ve played a love relationship with married women before in lots of dramas, so I think I can do this role with some subtlety.” Ha. Haha. That’s both funny AND depressing, if you think about it. Heh.

Believe in Love premieres January 1, following Marry me, on KBS.

He's not the best actor in the world but he's certainly very earnest. I was planning to give this drama a shot because of Lee Pil-mo anyway...looks like they want to make sure there's no dearth of eye candy for us, at least.

Thanks JB! :-)

Adding to your eye-candy note, is it just me or does he kinda look like Won Bin in the picture above... I not sure where either, but I somehow find similarities.. or maybe I need coffee as well!

I loved him in 9E2O (he has such nice biceps:), haven't had a chance to watch Life is Beautiful, but will surely watch this new family drama from the Sol Pharmacy team.

Via baking. LMAO.

I really liked this guy in 9 Ends 2 Outs but for some reason after he became so buffed out, he gave out this greasy vibe to me. All thru LIB, I was just like, I wish Taesub would leave Kyungsoo and find a better guy, err..

All his interviews concerning his life, his roles and acting are very honest and genuine. He himself said he's most comfortable in family dramas besides movie or modeling jobs.

And he's an absolute hottie... bangin' body, charming smile and some 4D personality. Love him.
Watched LiB, will check out BiL.

Yeah GF, he is a cutie patootie.

I'm not sure if I'll watch this drama, it really does depend if his character is all melodramatic with his love for the woman or not. But hey its LSW in a new drama, I shouldn't be complaining.

Btw, is he the main character? He'll get a lot of screen time right? (:

Seriously, if I were my mother (who's fangirling over Lee Sang-woo ever since watching "First Wives Club"...after "9 Ends 2 Outs" w/o realizing the guy is the same one), I'd write a ton...

I'd have to watch LIB (& TaeSeop couple), since gay issues are still kinda controversial at home (and in my God-forsaken-narrow-minded country)...
