Find Out About The Scene-Stealing Rookie Actor Lee WonJung From "Real:Time:Love" & "My Perfect Stranger"

Run Up Company

Welcome back to our introduction of rookie actors. Today, we are taking a look at the profile of actor Lee WonJung.

Actor Lee WonJung is best known for his role as Yook DeokJin in the third season of popular youth romance web drama "Real:Time:Love". After being introduced in season 3, he reclaimed his role in season 4. Lee WonJung received great attention, love, and popularity with his character. Not only did viewers enjoy his acting, but they also ended up getting a major case of second lead syndrome.

WHYNOT

In particular, fans fell in love with his sweet eyes and caring personality in the drama. However, the scenes with emotional depth served to prove his mettle as a versatile actor.

Lee WonJung is currently acting in the time travel thriller romance K-Drama "My Perfect Stranger". For those who might not know, "My Perfect Stranger" tells the story of two ordinary people Yoon HaeJoon (Kim DongWook) and Baek YoonYoung (Jin KiJoo), who travel back in time to the year 1987. While the former tries to discover the truth behind a serial murder case, and the latter attempts to stop her parents from marrying.

Run Up Company

Lee WonJung plays Baek HeeSeob in the drama, the younger version of our heroine Baek YoonYoung's father. In the present timeline, YoonYoung's father is an irresponsible alcoholic adult who contributes nothing to their family. YoonYoung's parents are constantly fighting, and her father is barely ever sober. However, Baek HeeSeob is a charming young man in 1987, which is before his marriage to Lee SoonAe (Seo JiHye) - YoonYoung's mother. As fate would have it, they meet inevitably, and he falls in love with her at first sight.

Run Up Company

Lee WonJung does a great job of portraying an adorable but rebellious teen who also happens to be unintentionally referencing the future with the way he talks. Lee WonJung makes Baek HeeSeob endearing and in turn, helps us root for someone who is supposedly bound to end up as a miserable old man (that is, until YoonYoung changes the future).

Run Up Company

Viewers of "My Perfect Stranger" have been appreciating actor Lee WonJung's performance more and more with each episode. He is already being called a scene-stealer, which speaks volumes of his talent. Needless to say, the fandom seems to have found their next K-Drama crush!

3 Times Lee WonJung Gave Us Butterflies As Baek HeeSeob On "My Perfect Stranger"

KBS

As we head into summer, the temperature's not the only thing that's heating up. Many of the currently ongoing K-Dramas have provided more than enough fiery passion and jaw-dropping storylines to keep viewers at the edge of their seat. Whether it's romance, action, or a thrilling mystery, there are many elements at play that make these dramas a worthwhile watch.

One ongoing drama that has been capturing the eye of many is "My Perfect Stranger". The KBS drama employs Kim DongWook and Jin KiJoo as its main leads. We see the two travel back in time, for different reasons, but eventually find that their objectives are oddly connected.

The drama is filled to the brim with unexpected twists and turns that keep audiences glued to the screen. But in between the heart-racing mystery, there are moments of romantic reprieve. One of the culprits of these butterflies is Lee WonJung who plays the loyal and loveable teenage version of Baek HeeSeob. There have been numerous occasions throughout the drama where he has captured viewers hearts and made them swoon to no end.

Here are some butterfly-inducing moments of Lee WonJung in "My Perfect Stranger".

1. Heart-Fluttering Acoustic Performance

When we first meet the teenager Baek HeeSeob, he comes off as free-spirited and clumsy. There's a sliver of charisma, but it feels as if you would have to dig real deep to find it. And while he strummed his air guitar in passing, we never saw him with an actual instrument.

However, during the class field trip, Baek HeeSeob finally received the chance to play an actual guitar. He completely shed his previously klutzy image and was reborn into an acoustic professional. What makes it most impressive is that in the making video for this scene, Lee WonJung actually sings and plays live. It was in this moment that our hearts began racing for Lee WonJung as Baek HeeSeob.

2. Makes A Heartfelt Confession

"My Perfect Stranger" is absolutely heavy on the nail-biting mystery. It keeps you on your toes at every turn, naturally raising your heartrate to new levels. But a K-Drama wouldn't be a K-Drama without the swoon-worthy romance.

Ever since the first time he saw her, HeeSeob has been smitten by Lee SoonAe (Seo JiHye). Although Baek YoonYoung (Jin KiJoo) tried her best to keep them apart, HeeSeob's love and persistence powered through. In this scene, he finally receives the chance to confess his feelings to SoonAe. His confession is heartfelt and genuine, helping SoonAe to realize his sincerity. He loved how cool she looked, absorbed into her own little world. Witnessing his admiration, you won't be able to control the smile that appears naturally across your face.

3. First Kiss With Lee SoonAe

Baek HeeSeob and Lee SoonAe's relationship naturally progressed forward. But due to some circumstances, they faced a few detours along the way. All of the worries that they might not get together washed away in this moment.

After having a deep, heart to heart talk, HeeSeob finally took the initiative and had his first kiss with SoonAe. The embarrassment that followed afterwards was felt on a global scale, but not without a mixture of triumph and heartwarming goodness. If you didn't have butterflies yet, the feelings of romance should be alive after this.

While mainly focused on the mystery aspect, Lee WonJung helps to bring the romance as Baek HeeSeob in "My Perfect Stranger".
