Actor Lim Chul-soo, who played the role of lawyer Lee Choong-gu, who does not hesitate to do anything to win the case in tvN's Saturday-Sunday drama 'Unknown Seoul' (script Lee Kang/director Park Shin-woo, Nam Gun/ Planning Studio Dragon/ Production Monster Union, High Ground), revealed his grievances and efforts in acting.

Lim Cheol-soo met with Sports Chosun at a certain place in Gangnam-gu, Seoul on the morning of the 30th and responded to the end of the interview 'Unknown Seoul'.

Lee Chung-gu's character in the work is a cool-headed character armed with cold reason. The character who combines a wheelchair and a cane was also a high-level role in expressing physical characteristics and emotions at the same time. Lim Cheol-soo "I thought more about my gaze than about movement," he said.




He "Usually, when I sit in a wheelchair, I have to look up at other people, but Chung-gu is a lawyer, so I needed a straight look at the other person. I thought a lot about how to see the world from what angle." The same was true of the cane acting. "I suggested to the director that I would like to try both (wheelchair and cane). At some point, I thought there would be a scene where I wanted to make eye contact and talk"

Wearing a suit was not just an outfit, but a part of the character expression. Lim Chul-soo wanted a classic, stubborn tie knot. I asked you to make the knot small because I wanted to express my closed mind.'

Meanwhile, 'Unknown Seoul' ended on the 29th. The final episode's viewership broke its own highest rating by recording an average of 9% for households in the Seoul metropolitan area, up to 10.3%, an average of 8.4% for households nationwide, and up to 9.4%.
