Actor Joo Sang-wook is enjoying the second peak of his career.
KBS’s historical drama “The King of Tears, Lee Bang-won” is becoming a hot topic day by day with double-digit ratings.
Joo Sang-wook, the drama’s lead, is so popular these days that he is said to be in his second heyday.
Joo Sang-wook was born in a happy family with an older sister and a younger sister. However, Joo Sang-wook‘s childhood was not so comfortable.
Joo Sang-wook‘s older sister graduated from Yonsei University (one of Korean prestigious Big3 universities so-called SKY) and his younger sister graduated from Korea’s No.1 university Seoul National University’s Graduate School of Computer Science. Joo Sang-wook said, “My younger sister studies and reads books every day. I didn’t understand her” and said, “she got 400 points out of 400 points on 3 mock tests of the CSAT.”
Joo Sang-wook, who walked on the opposite path between his sisters, blames himself “I’m trash” whenever he can’t act well.
Meanwhile, Joo Sang-wook plays the role of Lee Bang-won, the protagonist, in “The King of Tears, Lee Bang-won,” which is currently airing. Lee Bang-won was mainly described as a person who was good at martial arts with a fiery temper in the past productions, but Joo Sang-won was highly praised by critics and the public for portraying this character with his own color.
