Moon Woo-jin will appear in the new ENA Monday-Tuesday drama 'Scarecrow', premiering on the 20th, portraying the young version of prosecutor Cha Si-young, played by Lee Hee-jun. 'Scarecrow' is a crime investigation thriller that unfolds as a detective, who is investigating a serial murder case, unexpectedly forms an alliance with someone he despises.
The character Cha Si-young, played by Moon Woo-jin as a child, is a prosecutor with a sharp judgment and political acumen, who has been entangled in a fateful rivalry with Tae-joo (played by Park Hae-soo) since childhood. Moon Woo-jin is expected to delicately portray the character's childhood deficiencies, twisted competitiveness, and internal conflicts. As Cha Si-young's past narrative is a crucial starting point in the series, Moon Woo-jin's performance is anticipated to significantly enhance the drama's engagement.
Moon Woo-jin has showcased his versatile acting skills in various dramas such as 'It's Okay to Not Be Okay', 'Diva of the Deserted Island', 'Not a Hero', 'The Fiery Priest 2', 'That Guy is a Black Dragon', 'Love Me', Netflix series 'Surviving as a Celebrity Manager', 'Eun-jung and Sang-yeon', and Disney+ original series 'Trigger'. He has also delivered impressive performances on the big screen in films like 'Peninsula', 'Hijacking', 'Black Nuns', and 'Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint'. With his proven diverse acting range, Moon Woo-jin is set to leave another strong impression by depicting the origins of Cha Si-young's character in 'Scarecrow'.
'Scarecrow', featuring Moon Woo-jin, is set to premiere on the 20th at 10 PM on ENA and will also be available on KT Genie TV and TVING.
