“Marry My Husband” Lee Yi-kyung Was Said To Be Retiring 5 Years Ago Because Of This Reason

Recently, Lee Yi-kyung was enjoying his heyday by showing better-than-expected “great acting” as a “messy affair man” in tvN’s drama “Marry My Husband.” He gave his all for this role to the point many people suspected it is his retirement film, which the highest compliment Korean viewers can give to an actor.

However, Lee Yi-kyung has already made a lot of headlines for his performance as Lee Joon-ki in seasons 1 and 2 of JTBC’s drama “Welcome to Waikiki,” which aired in 2018 and 2019. At this time, Lee Yi-kyung boasted his comic acting, playing the co-CEO of “Waikiki” and a livelihood minor actor Lee Joon-ki in the drama.

His performance in “Waikiki” has been re-examined with the success of “Marry My Husband,” and Lee’s scene in which he was filming a historical drama is the most talked-about scene, which brought much laughter. Lee acted as a historical drama extra, but he was in desperate need to get to the bathroom every time he needed to do an action scene because he drank too much makgeolli (Korean rice wine). Somehow, however, the director didn’t call for NG, and Lee was humiliated for urinating on the set where everyone was watching.

Lee’s performance as a comic character in “Waikiki” was so impressive that a reporter once asked in an interview if he had any concerns about becoming an actor specializing in comedy. Lee said. “I used to worry about what if I become a standardized actor in this field (comic acting).” “But now I’ve put down that concern. I think it’s important to do my job so that my enthusiasm is not dampened.”

Since Lee has known his strengths for a long time and made good use of the genre of comedy, he was able to perform well in “Marry My Husband” that caused viewers’ blood pressure.
