Assuming a role of a merchandise seller in Our Blues, Lee Byung Hun steers a truck loaded with items on the refreshing Jeju island.
To be penned by acclaimed writer Noh Hee Kyung, the new tvN’s Saturday drama will be directed by Kim Gyu Tae.
Our Blues is a work that chronicles the sweet and bitter lives of all who stand at the end, climax, or beginning of life. It tells the life stories of various characters in an omnibus format against the backdrop of warm and lively Jeju and the cold and rough sea.
Boasting a roster of 14 lauded actors, the special omnibus series heralds a unique taste from existing works. Actors from all generations gather to portray the lives of ordinary people set on Jeju island.
Jeju Merchant Lee Dong-seok
Trustworthy actor Lee Byung Hun makes his drama comeback four years since Mr. Sunshine. For his role in Our Blues, he takes a friendly and typical character.
Born and raised in Jeju, Lee portrays Lee Dong-seok. He relies on his truck to trade between islands and sleeps on his truck. Seemingly like a unique nomad, curiosity is expected as to why Dong-seok lives a rough life without a house to stay in.
In the unveiled character photos, Dong-seok captures the appearance of an authentic market trader who sells various household items and clothes.
Previously, a video teaser showing the strong aura of Dong-seok – a “merchant of all things” was also revealed where he perfected the Jeju dialect.
Our Blues, starring Lee Byung Hun, premieres on April 9 at 9:10 PM. International fans can watch it on Netflix.
