Lee Kwang Soo and Do Kyung Soo are showing off their special ‘bromance’ while acting together in a variety show and drama.
The two have maintained their friendship for over 10 years since first working together in ‘It‘s Okay, That’s Love’, starring Gong Hyo Jin and Jo In Sung in 2014. They are also famous as ‘real friends’ in the entertainment industry who often travel together.
The two will be appearing together in the new tvN variety show ‘Kongkong Bab Bap: Beans Reap Where You Plant Them, and Rice Reaps When You Eat Them’ (Kongkong Bab Bap), which is scheduled to air in January next year.
‘Kongkong Bab Bap’ is a spin-off program of ‘Kongkong Bab Bap’, which aired last year. At that time, it garnered attention by depicting the ups and downs of close friends Kim Woo-bin, Kim Ki-bang, Lee Kwang-soo, and Do Kyung-soo cultivating a small field in the countryside.
Lee Kwang-soo and Do Kyung-soo will once again show their ‘brother chemistry’ in the new program that has returned after 1 year and 3 months while operating a cafeteria.
As it was revealed that the two will be working together again, fans are calling him “Do Kyung-soo who catches Lee Kwang-soo like Tom and Jerry” and expressing their anticipation, saying “It‘s already funny to think how much Do Kyung-soo will make Lee Kwang-soo angry”.
The two will continue their relationship in the new drama. They will also be working together in the Disney+ drama ‘Piece of Cities’, which is scheduled to air in the first half of next year. ‘Sculpture City’ is a drama remake of the 2017 film ‘Fabricated City’, starring Ji Chang-wook, Do Kyung-soo, and Lee Kwang-soo.
An action drama where a man (Ji Chang-wook) who was living an ordinary life gets involved in a heinous crime one day and is sent to prison unjustly, and finds out that everything was planned by Yohan (Do Kyung-soo) and seeks revenge.
In the drama, Lee Kwang-soo plays Baek Do-kyung, who holds the key to the case, and Do Kyung-soo plays the character of a ‘Sculptor’ who fabricates evidence and designs the real culprit.
