This actor caused viewers to drop “Lies Hidden In My Garden”? Starred in various hits at age 16
Although this actor portrayed his character very well in “Lies Hidden In My Garden”, he still cannot satisfy the audience.
Despite being aired on a less popular platform, the K-drama “Lies Hidden In My Garden” has consistently affirmed its strong influence. Recently, the series even made it into the top 10 most-watched non-English TV shows on global Netflix, even though it was released exclusively on Netflix Korea. The audience also praised the cast for their well-rounded performances, regardless of their amount of screentime.
In addition to the leading actors Kim Tae Hee, Lim Ji Yeon, and Kim Sung Oh, there has been a face that has been continuously in the spotlight and has made a strong impression on the audience in recent developments. It is none other than actor Cha Sung Je, who assumes the role of Park Sung Jae, the son of female lead Joo Ran (Kim Tae Hee) and Park Jae Ho (Kim Sung Oh).
To specify, in the past two episodes, Sung Jae revealed a shocking secret to his mother, that he was the culprit behind the corpse in the garden, and then called his father for help. Although the victim initially survived after being pushed, Park Jae Ho hid her body behind the house and eventually ended her life.
After his appearances, Cha Sung Je received praise for his acting but unexpectedly received quite a few negative comments about his appearance. Many comments stated that he was not suitable to play a student, and he looked too unattractive and mature, especially when his on-screen mother is “beauty goddess” Kim Tae Hee. Some viewers even went as far as to comment that they had to stop watching whenever Cha Sung Je appeared, and that they cannot understand why he was chosen for this role.
However, despite being deemed “too old” to play a student, Cha Sung Je is only 16 years old in real life, and is currently studying in high school. He has also had several years of acting experience, having made his debut as a child actor in the 2016 movie “Luck Key”. As of the moment, the number of projects starring Cha Sung Je has actually exceeded his age, covering an extremely diverse range of genres, from detective thrillers to family dramas, proving the actor’s strong acting abilities.
In fact, fans of Korean dramas may find Cha Sung Je to be a quite familiar face, seeing that the actor has appeared in many “blockbuster” titles. Some of his prominent works include “Reborn Rich”, “Under the Queen’s Umbrella”, “The King: Eternal Monarch”, and “Crash Landing on You”, among others.
