Lee Byung-Hun is cast for the lead male role in new drama series “Mr Sunshine.” The drama series will be scripted by Kim Eun-Sook and directed by Lee Eung-Bok. The duo previously collaborated in tvN drama series “Goblin” and KBS2 drama series “Descendants of the Sun.”
For Lee Byung-Hun, “Mr Sunshine” will be his first starring acting role in a drama series since “IRIS” in 2009. According to production company Hwa & Dam Pictures, “Mr Sunshine” will not be a pre-made series, but they wanted to get casting done early for better quality. The lead male character has lived in America for most of his life and then returns to South Korea as an adult. Thus, the lead actor needs to speak English well. Lee Byung-Hun having appeared in major Hollywood films fills that requirement nicely.
“Mr Sunshine” will air sometime during the first half of 2018 in South Korea.
