“Knight Flower” is a comedy action historical drama about a widow who lives a quiet life in the morning but becomes a knight to help people in need at night.
Lee Jong-won, who made his face known to the public through the 2022 drama “The Golden Spoon”, appears in “Knight Flower” as military officer Park Soo-ho. Regarding the actor, his co-star Lee Ha-nee (Honey Lee) shared, “Lee Jong-won is an actor with bright and emotional eyes. I think he can create a new and fresh excitement for viewers”.
Before becoming an actor, Lee Jong-won was a model. He enlisted in the military early and served as an assistant in Division 30. During his military life, he was called by the name “flour powder assistant” because his skin was so white and it did not get tanned easily.
After getting discharged from the army in March 2015, Lee Jong-won turned to acting and debuted as an actor in 2018. Thanks to his early military service, the actor has been active steadily without a break. He has played various roles in different projects step by step, from minor roles in web dramas to supporting roles and then leading roles.
In an interview conducted during his rookie days, Lee Jong-won expressed his determination in acting, saying “Campus drama is a good choice, I can play high school student roles. I also wanted to try romantic comedy”. Through “Knight Flower”, Lee Jong-won has finally achieved his dream of challenging a romcom.
This is the first time Lee Jong-won worked with veteran actress Lee Ha-nee. However, the two aroused admiration from viewers as they showed off perfect chemistry and synergy from the beginning of the drama and reached a rating of 8% in the first broadcasting week. Therefore, expectations are higher for his performances in the next episodes.
