Although Lee Jong-suk was discharged from the military in January 2021, he has kept a low-profile since. The new Disney+ K-drama Big Mouth is his first show since 2019’s Romance is a Bonus Book.
In it, he plays talkative lawyer Park Chang-ho, nicknamed Big Mouth, who has a low winning rate of 10 per cent. He gets framed and mistaken as a genius swindler with the alias of Big Mouse.
Lim Yoona plays his wife Go Mi-ho, who investigates the conspiracy to clear her husband’s name.
In a press conference this morning (July 29), Jong-suk, 32, told reporters about his experience on set: “My character goes through many difficulties and he struggles a lot but I, as an actor, had a thrilling experience (on set).”
On what he paid the most attention to, he said: “The emotional journey of Chang-ho is quite drastic so I wanted to be sensitive about that.”
Big Mouth also stars Kim Joo-hun, Ok Ja-yeon and Yang Kyung-won, and it debuts on July 29 on Disney+.
