Actor Um Tae-woong, who has drawn much attention for his latest role of Byun
Hak-do in the KBS miniseries "Sassy Girl Chun-hyang," has finally landed a lead
role in a television drama. He will play the male lead in the new KBS TV2
Wednesday-Thursday series called "Resurrection," which will premiere on May 25
following "Emperor of the Sea."
In "Resurrection," Um will demonstrate
just how honed his acting skills have become by playing the double role of
identical twins. In the story, his two characters are born as identical twins
but become separated due to a childhood mishap, and have to grow up in
completely different worlds. Um will portray two contrasting characters: the
easygoing and warmhearted criminal detective Seo Ha-eun, and the weak-minded but
merciless Yoo Shin-hyuk, who has managed to become a successful
entrepreneur.
"I feel so excited and nervous because it's my first lead
part in a miniseries. I will do my best to gain recognition for my acting," said
Um.
