Upcoming MBC drama 'Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok Joo' released more photos stills of its leading actor, Nam Joo Hyuk's killer body. It is no doubt an effective strategy of raising the anticipation for the drama, which is slated to air its first episode on 16 November, 10pm.
Nam Joo Hyuk takes on the role of 'Jung Joon Hyung', a swimmer who faces some personal issues which hinder him from excelling in the sports. The photos showcased a different side to his usual self and happy-go-lucky characters he's taken on. We certainly look forward to this masculine and mature version of Nam Joo Hyuk!
Meanwhile, Nam Joo Hyuk will be acting alongside actress Lee Sung Kyung, who plays the lead role of weightlifter, Kim Bok Joo. The drama portrays the story of people in their 20s and is said to be inspired by Jang Mi Ran, South Korea's Olympic gold medalist. Actor Lee Jong Suk also recently filmed a cameo appearance to show support to his friends on set.
