Actor Lee Jung-ha’s acting transformation continues.

Lee Jung-ha made a special appearance in JTBC popular weekend drama ‘Good Boy’ (directed by Shim Na-yeon, written by Lee Dae-il, produced by SLL, Studio & New, and Drama House Studio), further increasing the tension of the drama.’Good Boy’ is a comical action youth investigation drama about medalists who become police officers through special recruitment and fight against a world full of unscrupulousness and foul play, wearing police ID cards around their necks instead of medals.

Lee Kyung-il, played by Lee Jung-ha, is the younger brother and junior of boxing gold medalist Yun Dong-ju(Park Bo-gum), and is injured while competing with Dong-ju before being selected for the national team.Kyung-il has an inferiority complex because he was pushed back by Dong-ju in every selection, but he also has an unspoken respect for Dong-ju, which makes the two even more special.

Then one day, Kyung-il confesses that he was the hit-and-run driver due to Min-ju Young’s(Oh Jung-se)threats, leading the story in an unexpected direction.Dong-ju instinctively senses that this was caused by Jong-goo Oh(Jung Man-sik), who had been ordering evil deeds by exploiting the players ‘weaknesses, and presses Kyung-il, but he swallows his sorrow and says, “Don’ t worry about it.It’s my business.” In the end, Kyung-il is imprisoned in a detention center and dies under suspicious circumstances without being able to tell the truth, and his death makes the essence of the case even more confusing.



In this process, Lee Jung-ha delicately portrayed the inner conflict and emotional range that Kyung-il has, making us feel even more sorry.His quiet but intense gaze deeply conveyed the trajectory of life that Kyung-il had to embrace and hide until now, as well as the wounds contained within it.In addition, although he treated Dong-ju bluntly and seemingly indifferently, he naturally melted in the fact that deep affection and regret were hidden inside, making the relationship between Kyung-il and Dong-ju even stronger.Despite his short appearance, Lee Jung-ha left a strong impression by fully revealing the narrative and emotions of the character ‘Lee Kyung-il’.

Meanwhile, Lee Jung-ha is currently showing off his powerful acting as the main character ‘Kim Eui-gyeom’ in the Wave original drama ‘ONE : High School Heroes’.He is building up the impactful action and character narrative as ‘Eui-gyeom’, who has a different charm from the rough ‘Kyung-il’ in ‘Good Boy’.Viewers are responding, saying, “It’s refreshing to know that Lee Jung-ha has this kind of side to him too”, and attention is focused on actor Lee Jung-ha’s future acting transformation through various genres and works.

Meanwhile, Lee Jung-ha, who showed immersive acting through ‘Good Boy’, is currently playing the lead role of ‘Kim Eui-gyeom’ in the currently airing Wave original drama ‘ONE : High School Heroes’, which will be aired for the last time at 11 AM on the 13th.
