In the 5th and 6th episodes of Disney+'s original series 'Scarving City' (played by Oh Sang-ho and directed by Park Shin-woo and Kim Chang-joo), Lee Kwang-soo left an unforgettable impact just by appearing as John (Do Kyung-soo)'s VIP, who has power and money.
Lee Kwang-soo caught the eye from the first scene as Do-kyung, who committed an irreversible murder five years ago and panicked. He completed the shocking visuals of the drunk and drugged figure, from his bloodied face to his dark speech to his loose eyes. In addition, he visits his father to cover up his crimes and surprises viewers by revealing the heinousness of the Dogyeong, such as rough disposal of the body according to John's instructions.
Lee Kwang-soo also ruthlessly portrayed Do-kyung, who became involved in watching the death racing game designed by Johan. Ahead of the start of the full-fledged racing game, he was unable to take his eyes off the monitor while trying to bet on inmates, conveying the interests of the police. As soon as the game began, he transformed himself into a character who enjoys the game without hiding his excitement at the car explosion, raising tensions over the game that will be played by any means.
In this way, Lee Kwang-soo played the role of the last king of 'sculpture City' from his first appearance. He expressed a character who expresses his feelings as they are without feeling any guilt with a mean smile and a loud voice, and made viewers tongue-in-cheek with detailed passion. In addition, the appearance of broadcasting while supporting the inmate who grasped the psychology of the inmate or bet in the middle of the racing game further enhanced the sense of immersion in the racing action. As a result, attention is focused on another story that Lee Kwang-soo will present in the future 'Scarving City'.
Meanwhile, Disney+'s original series 'Scarving Doshi', starring Lee Kwang-soo, Ji Chang-wook, Do Kyung-soo, Kim Jong-soo, and Cho Yoon-soo, will be released only on Disney+ for 7-8 episodes on November 19, and two episodes will be released every week after that, a total of 12 episodes will be available.
