3 Things Seo KangJoon Liked About His Character On JoonYoung From "The Third Charm"

"ESQUIRE Korea"

Over a month ago, Seo KangJoon completed his required military service and made his much anticipated discharge on May 22nd. Now, fans will be able to see the actor return to television screens everywhere, as the co-lead for another memorable drama.

While no news has officially been announced, the actor has shared that he's positively reviewing scripts and actively looking to dive into his next big project. For now, he's slowly integrating back into the entertainment industry.

Upon his discharge, KangJoon was able to meet with fashion magazine, "ESQUIRE Korea", for a photoshoot and to film some behind the scenes content. In the content video, the actor talked about various topics like the food he missed the most, how he wants to be absorbed by work, and even brief backstories on his previous characters.

He eventually started to talk about one of his favorite characters, On JoonYoung, from the heart-fluttering slice-of-life, "The Third Charm". Check out the things he liked about On JoonYoung down below!

1. How JoonYoung Showed Love

One of the first things the actor mentions about On JoonYoung is the way he loves Lee YoungJae (ESom). JoonYoung's feelings are sincere and genuine, coming from a place of pure innocence. His ability to remain true and faithful to his feelings, despite the challenges, is awe-inspiring and fills anyone with a feeling of indescribable warmth, including Seo KangJoon.

2. Watching Him Mature Throughout Time

Audiences meet JoonYoung at the ripe age of 20, a time when he's just learning how the world works. What sets him apart, that even KangJoon likes, is the fact that we meet JoonYoung at different stages of his life. We become witnesses to both his romantic journey and journey of personal growth. And seeing him go through these different stages stirs feelings of nostalgia and comfort in your heart.

3. A Character That's Real And Relatable

Now while On JoonYoung doesn't represent everyone, he's a character that feels real and relatable. Even for Seo KangJoon, the actor piloting the character, he takes in everything that's happening with JoonYoung and accepts it as something could happen in his own life. This retrospective outlook really makes one consider every possibility and that perhaps, we ourselves are the main characters in our own drama.

4 Male Leads Who Shook Viewers With Their Superpower

SBS / MBC

K-Dramas sometimes serve as a parallel to real life, presenting main characters we can relate to on a personal level. Even if they are life-saving doctors or charismatic lawyers, their traits seem perfectly human and natural. There's no doubt that if they were to shake off that main character prestige, they would be just like the rest of us.

Then there are those male leads who have something 'special' about them — and by special, we mean they have some type of superpower. Now, superpowers are practically non-existent in real life, so these K-Drama leads already have an edge on us normal folk. They wow audiences with their out of this world abilities and show a charm that cannot be produced in real life. These powers are the definition of cool and have fans talking for hours.

So let's meet some of these male leads who have amazed viewers with their super human abilities!

1. "You Who Came From the Stars" - Do MinJoon

Do MinJoon was an iconic role for Kim SooHyun in the legendary drama "You Who Came From the Stars". He was quite literally out of this world, being an alien who came down from outer space.

His skillset includes the ability to stop time, teleportation, levitation, and so much more! Do MinJoon was a force to be reckoned with. If his superpowers were not enough, he also possessed impressive intellect and jaw-dropping visuals. There were actual no holes in Do MinJoon.

2. "Gu Family Book" - Choi KangChi

Considering Choi KangChi, played by the iconic Lee SeungGi, was both part human and part gumiho, it comes as no surprise that he has supernatural abilities.

When he turns into a Gumiho, KangChi gains superhuman strength, an increase in speed, and increased regenerative abilities. With Lee SeungGi at the helm of this character, it seems Choi KangChi gained one additional ability: the power to steal the hearts of fans everywhere. Now that's what you call overpowered.

3. "Are You Human Too?" - Nam Shin III

With Seo KangJoon playing the part of Nam Shin III, many were smitten by his jaw-dropping good looks. But that wasn't his only impressive trait in "Are You Human Too?".

The technologically advanced android possessed superhuman strength, a built in lie detector, and access to all the knowledge in the world. But quite honestly, the list simply goes on. Despite having circuits and wires in place of an actual heart and brains, Nam San III had the heart of a normal person, developing traits of an ordinary human being.

4- "Where Stars Land" - Lee SooYeon

On the outside Lee SooYeon, played by Lee JeHoon, seems like an ordinary airport employee. But underneath that air of normalcy is a robotic limb that screams anything but normal.

With it, Lee SooYeon possesses superhuman strength and the ability to withstand numerous blows to his arm. While the origin story behind his robotic limb is filled with pain and trauma, SooYeon overcomes those hardships and uses his newfound power to help those around him. With it, he's already saved multiple, becoming a hero in broad daylight. Not all heroes wear capes — if they're anything like Lee SooYeon, they wear tailored suits instead.
