Note: this article might contain spoilers.
1. "Where Stars Land"
The SBS melodrama was released in 2018 with a cast that includes Chae SooBin, Lee DongGun, Kim JiSoo, and SF9's RoWoon. It mainly follows two indivudals, Lee SooYeon (Lee JeHoon) and Han YeoReum (Chae SooBin), who work at Incheon airport. The two have lingering emotional scars and trauma, but are able to heal while working together and meeting various people at the airport.
"Where Stars Land" errs on the lighter side, but that doesn't mean it's devoid of nail-biting tension. The drama dives into Lee SooYeon and Han YeoReum's fateful connection to one another, all while they continue their everyday lives at the airport. In between, there are moments of sweet romance that warms you up from head to toe. Although quite different from the premise of "Taxi Driver", "Where Stars Land" is a drama you should definitely watch once.
2. "Tomorrow With You"
"Tomorrow With You" is a touching drama about time travel, the will to survive, and love. While Lee JeHoon appears as time traveler Yoo SoJoon, Shin MinA stands alongside him as the female lead, and his wife, Song MaRin. It follows SoJoon's journey to prevent the death of his future self. In order to do so and change his fate, he marries the lovely MaRin.
While Yoo SoJoon starts off with the desire to save his own life, he discovers the warmth of a relationship and learns to rely on someone else. MaRin becomes SoJoon's anchor to the present and one of his main sources of happiness. "Tomorrow With You" has its fair share of heavy moments, but will surely make you smile in the end.
3. "Secret Door"
With his more recent works, "Secret Door" might seem like a secret to newer fans. That might be due to the historical SBS drama being released in 2014. "Secret Door" portrays the conflict between King Yeongjo (played by Han SukKyu) and Crown Prince Sado (played by Lee JeHoon). It's a tense battle to decide whether power will remain with the upper class or if the people will see equality for all.
Being one of Lee JeHoon's earlier works, we can witness how the amazing actor started out. Through this drama JeHoon shows that he's always had an unbelievable amount of charisma and the ability to evoke an entire spectrum of emotions from viewers. His chemistry with Park EunBin is also a sight to behold and will leave you wishing for a reunion between the two. "Secret Door" is a magnificent historical piece that can be binged even today.
4. "Move To Heaven"
This Netflix produced drama sees Lee JeHoon take on the role of Cho SangGu who is a cold, ill-mannered former martial artist and ex-con. He ends up becoming the guardian for his nephew GeuRu (played by Tang JunSang) and the two end up running trauma cleaning business, "Move To Heaven".
While the one thing that connected them, GeuRu's father, is now gone, through their work and everyday life, they learn to rely on one another. The two discover what it means to be alive, while navigating the aftermath that comes with death. "Move To Heaven" is a touching and heartfelt story that will leave you feeling all sorts of emotions by the end. Be sure to prepare tissues beforehand, because you will surely need a box or more.
5. "Signal"
In terms of Lee JeHoon dramas to watch, "Signal" probably sits at the very top of that list. It depicts the story of criminal profiler Park HaeYoung (Lee JeHoon) who happens to discover a walkie-talkie. HaeYoung is able to speak with Detective Lee JaeHan (Cho JinWoong), who is all the way in the year 2000. Together, along with Cha SooHyun (Kim HyeSoo), they solve a number of cold cases and discover secrets hidden within the law enforcement.
