Lee Jae Wook Chases After His Goals With A Poker Face In “The Impossible Heir”

 

Lee Jae Wook will be making a big acting transformation for his next role in Disney+’s “The Impossible Heir”!

 

“The Impossible Heir” will tell the story of three characters who desire to climb to the top by trying to take the throne of Korea’s largest conglomerate. Lee Jae Wook will take on the role of the cold-blooded yet dignified Han Tae Oh, Lee Jun Young will portray Kang In Ha, a character that has both good and evil sides, and Hong Su Zu will play Na Hye Won.

 

Lee Jae Wook’s role as Han Tae Oh is a character with exceptional brains and cold rationality. Having been born the son of a murderer, Han Tae Oh runs away from the world and attempts to escape his difficult life by approaching Kang In Ha, the illegitimate son of Korea’s largest conglomerate Kang Oh Group, and together they aim to take down the throne of Korea’s largest conglomerate. With a great sense of ambition, Han Tae Oh strategically takes the lead with a poker face.

 

 

Regarding his role, Lee Jae Wook shared, “He’s a persistent character who has to chase a problem to the end and solve it once he decides on a goal. As a figure who is good at maintaining a poker face, he doesn’t show his claws when solving problems.” The actor added, “I put a lot of changes into acting to hide the expressive parts and showcase [the character’s] inner feelings thoroughly. Through ‘The Impossible Heir,’ I think I can show some thorough and calm as well as persistent sides of me.”

Director Min Yeon Hong further shared, “While watching Lee Jae Wook’s career, the way he portrayed diverse characters with depth left an impression. At the same time, I like that he is an actor who showcases his charms to the fullest. I believe if Lee Jae Wook acts as Han Tae Oh, who is always serious and maintains a poker face to not easily show his feelings, I think viewers can relate and feel his charm.”

Lee Jun Young Is A Complex Villain Embodying Both Good And Evil In “The Impossible Heir”

 

Lee Jun Young will take on the role of a desire-driven villain in Disney+’s “The Impossible Heir”!

 

“The Impossible Heir” will tell the story of three characters who desire to climb to the top by trying to take the throne of Korea’s largest conglomerate. Lee Jae Wook will take on the role of the cold-blooded yet dignified Han Tae Oh, Lee Jun Young will portray Kang In Ha, a character that has both good and evil sides, and Hong Su Zu will play Na Hye Won.

 

Kang In Ha is a character who hides intense desires beneath his carefree facade. As the neglected illegitimate child of the nation’s leading conglomerate Kang Oh Group, he forms an alliance with Han Tae Oh (Lee Jae Wook) to climb from the bottom to the very top in search of validation. Despite initially appearing to lurk in the shadows with his concealed ambitions, Kang In Ha gradually becomes trapped in his insatiable ambition to become the owner of Kang Oh Group.

 

 

In embodying this character, Lee Jun Young adeptly portrays Kang In Ha with a nonchalant demeanor. Describing Kang In Ha as “a character who conceals his pain, an enigmatic figure capable of straddling the line between good and evil,” Lee Jun Young expressed, “I want to convey the character’s sense of freedom, so I tried various approaches.”

 

 

Director Min Yeon Hong further shared, “We divided the character-building process into stages to illustrate Kang In Ha’s dramatic transformation and storyline. As a complex character embodying both good and evil, Lee Jun Young and I always consult with each other to distinguish Kang In Ha’s emotions and shape his character.”

Lee Jae-wook becomes Jun’s kingmaker in The Impossible Heir

by tccolb

The promo train has taken off with a new poster and video teaser combo for Disney+’s upcoming The Impossible Heir, introducing the main trio at the center of our chaebol succession battle: Lee Jae-wook (Death’s Game), Jun (a.k.a. Lee Jun-young) (May I Help You), and Hong Su-ju (Sweet Home 2).

We open the teaser with Na Hye-won’s (Hong Su-ju) voiceover, when she asked, “Aren’t you curious? What each of us will appear to be, ten years from now?” But life hasn’t been easy for our three leads and every day is a struggle when you’ve been labeled as an outcast in so-called proper society.

 

 

Han Tae-oh (Lee Jae-wook), for instance, has been trying to hide from the world and we hear the salacious gossip in voiceover that Tae-oh’s dad murdered Tae-oh’s mom. Kang In-ha (Jun) faces constant rejection from his chaebol family, who sneer at In-ha for smelling different as an illegitimate child. All the while Hye-won tries to deny even having a mom, as she’s harassed by loan sharks for the money her runaway mom owes.

Similarly at a breaking point, our trio decide that enough is enough and a steely-eyed In-ha proposes “to take revenge on the people who looked down on us and made our lives difficult.” An amused Tae-oh chuckles that, “it’s a humble dream,” before revealing his grander – and more specific – plan: “We’re going to make you President Kang In-ha of the Kang-oh Group.”

Immediately impressed, In-ha confesses, “This is why I can’t help but love Han Tae-oh.” Hye-won agrees to participate as well, revealing her ambition to make the Kang-oh Group hers in both the present and the future. As she takes In-ha’s hand as his significant other, we then read the trio’s united goal in the appearing text screens, to rise from the bottom to the highest place.

Reassuring his friends, a confident Tae-oh declares, “Don’t worry. I’m going to make it happen perfectly.” We then watch as Tae-oh transforms from neighborhood cutie to slick corporate exec and the teaser closes as Tae-oh updates the team, “I’ll get straight to the point. Our plan has finally begun.”

Directed by PD Min Yeon-hong (Insider, Missing: The Other Side) with scripts by Choi Won, Disney+’s The Impossible Heir will be coming to our screens on February 28.

Climbing the rope to make Lee Jun-young The Impossible Heir

by tccolb

 

New posters and teasers have arrived for Disney+’s crime-suspense The Impossible Heir, delving deeper into the psyches of our three leads, played by Lee Jae-wook (Death’s Game), Lee Jun-young (May I Help You), and Hong Su-ju (Sweet Home 2).

We begin with our hero Han Tae-oh (Lee Jae-wook) transferring to a new school, where rumors abound that Tae-oh’s dad killed Tae-oh’s mom. But Tae-oh isn’t intimidated by his fellow students and firmly calls out Kang In-ha (Lee Jun-young) on his delinquency. An impressed In-ha extends a hand of friendship, but Tae-oh proposes a partnership instead.

 

 

Tae-oh admits honestly that, “I want to use you as a rope to climb into the major leagues,” and, in return, he’ll make In-ha the president of his family’s conglomerate. In-ha scoffs, wondering what kind of power Tae-oh wields, and Tae-oh replies, “I have something stronger: desperation.”

It’s a double-edged sword that dad from another life Chairman Choi Jin-ho (See You in My 19th Life) understands well, noting that there’s nothing Tae-oh can’t do and there’s nothing that he won’t do also. But Tae-oh has already resolved to pay the price for achieving their goal and reassures In-ha to trust in Tae-oh’s clear vision.

In In-ha’s teaser, we learn that he’s an illegitimate child of the Kang-Oh Group and he acted out in his school days, justifying his behavior to his high-but-low upbringing. Now an adult, In-ha tries to push for the family’s official acceptance, but he’s only met by fury and disdain. Kim Ho-jung (Queenmaker) then tries to coerce In-ha into signing away his inheritance and connection to the conglomerate.

In-ha is angry but understands their ploy to remove potential obstacles from their succession plans. But Tae-ho encourages In-ha to not back down, warning that any hesitation could end the game. Boosting his spirits, Tae-ho reminds him that, “Kang In-ha is Chairman Kang Joon-mo’s (Choi Jin-ho) third son. He’s sincere, but not naive. This is Kang In-ha. Let’s go. This is the beginning.”

Last but not least, we meet Na Hye-won (Hong Su-ju) knee deep in studying when she’s atrociously interrupted by a lady demanding money – who must be mom but yikes! She’s then accosted by mom’s debt collectors at school, but Hye-won rebuffs Tae-oh’s interference, explaining that this happens often and she’ll never run away or hide.

In-ha takes a notice to Hye-won as well, wondering why she’s always alone and if she has any friends. Hye-won replies that they can all be friends and she connects with Tae-oh afterwards, realizing that In-ha is a golden rope for Tae-oh and she wants in as well. She thus agrees to marry In-ha and seat him on the Kang-Oh throne.

Written by Choi Won with PD Min Yeon-hong (Insider, Missing: The Other Side) at the helm, Disney+’s The Impossible Heir premieres later this month on February 28.
