South Korean actor Lee Jin Wook is delighted to be included in the roster of stars to play a role on the Netflix original series titled Sweet Home. The said action series is currently trending on the platform, leading the actor to talk about how he got his role.

Lee Jin Wook's 180 degree-turn character on Sweet Home

The 39-year-old actor plays Pyeon Sang Wook's character, a former contract killer, per Allkpop.

Lee Jin Wook is no typical role, though, and he makes the people living in Green Home uncomfortable with his unfriendly impression.

Although viewers are used to seeing roles like Pyeon Sang Wook's being in an enormous gangster, causing troubles in the neighborhood, Lee Jin Wook plays the opposite.

The matter was made clear by Director Lee Eung Bok, saying he chose Lee Jin Wook for the role because he does not want to give out the series an "overly cliché" character.

Lee Jin Wook spilled the beans on how Netflix cast him

"I thought the story of each character and how they each change into a monster was dramatic. I also thought that each character's story reflected in modern society very well," Lee Jin Wook said.

He then continues that he made up his mind in joining the cast ensemble after reading the story. In one part of the series where the people's inner desires create the monsters, he shows a good piece alongside the already casted actors.

For the time being, according to Naver, Lee Jin Wook is grateful for the much love the series received. Every time he thinks of his character, he always thought not of himself, as it is the opposite of his being.

Aside from his admiration for Sweet Home's director, he praised the young actors on the series for showing such an astonishing masterpiece at a young age.
