Actor Lee Jae-won is delivering a standout performance in JTBC's weekend drama 'Hundred Memories.'
In the series, Lee Jae-won plays the role of 'Kim Driver,' a character once known as the 'Casanova Bus Driver.' He brings humor to the screen with his charming and playful demeanor. However, recent episodes have revealed a different side of his character as he reunites with his past love, 'Jeongbun' (played by Park Ye-ni), exposing hidden emotions and regrets.
Particularly, Lee Jae-won's expressive eyes and acting have captivated viewers, especially after discovering that 'Sujin,' Jeongbun's daughter, is his own. Comments from the audience include, “Lee Jae-won's eyes and acting moved me,” “He convincingly portrayed Kim Driver's emotions,” and “I was momentarily touched.”
Lee Jae-won has established himself as a 'trustworthy actor' by portraying diverse characters with his unique flair, seamlessly transitioning between humor and emotion. In his previous work, 'Lady Ok's Story,' he transformed from the servant 'Soe-dong' to the loyal 'Man-seok,' providing warmth and laughter as he protected his master, Choo Young-woo, like a brother. In 'Hundred Memories,' he skillfully depicts the transformation of 'Kim Driver,' who seeks redemption for his past mistakes, proving his 'genuine acting skills.'
Lee Jae-won continues to enhance the quality of each production with his realistic performances and vibrant characters. His ability to convey a character's narrative through subtle changes in expression and emotion has left audiences eagerly anticipating his next project.
