MBC's new Friday-Saturday drama 'Roh Moo-jin' (played by Yoo Seung-hee, directed by Lim Soon-rye and Lee Han-joon), which will premiere on the 30th, is a comic fantasy play about solving the labor problem of a ghost-watching labor man. It is attracting prospective viewers by adding the ingenious setting that ghosts request labor issues to a fresh job called 'labor worker' rather than a familiar profession such as lawyer, doctor, and prosecutor. Among them, Jung Kyung-ho leads 'Roh Moo-jin' as a title role.
In 'Roh Moo-jin', Kim Won-jung, who sharply portrayed the military reality through OTT drama 'D.P.', and Yoo Seung-hee, who conveyed a warm resonance with the movie 'I Can Speak', join forces to foreshadow the power of a solid story that combines fun and message in a balanced way. The stories of people in different labor sites and the pleasant and pleasant solving of labor problems will be unfolded in the form of episodes.
Jung Kyung-ho said, `The script was interesting. It contains the emotion and laughter in the story of a realistic character who is a livelihood worker. I thought it was a work with healthy energy that could relieve the fatigue of those watching."
In his previous work, Jung Kyung-ho became a success as a prison guard, doctor, and instructor and gained the modifier 'Professional Professional Actor'. This time, he turned into a hero labor attorney who works hard for workers, raising expectations.
When asked what he was fascinated by the character of Noh Mu-jin, Jung Kyung-ho said, `I think I was attracted because it was a character that showed me growing up both humanly and as a labor attorney while releasing the resentment of ghosts who died unfairly due to industrial accidents.' Then "I tried to understand the job itself by meeting and talking with labor officials in person. And since Mujin is not a profit-seeking character, I wanted to make that happen, so I tried to express my hair in a messy or unadorned way," he said, expressing his concern to fully melt into the character.
The character setting of Roh Moo-jin, who sees ghosts and listens to stories they have never seen before, also came to be special. Jung Kyung-ho said "It's the first time I've cooperated with a ghost," adding "So I tried to show a new look every time by studying gestures so that the ghost character's character could be seen well in the acting that became possessed" said Jung Kyung-ho's colorful acting, which was a combination of seriousness and comic.
MBC's new Friday-Saturday drama 'Roh Moo-jin', which heralds the birth of Jeong Kyung-ho's new life work, will premiere at 9:50 p.m. on the 30th.
