Actor Song Seung-hun Cast in New MBC Drama ‘East of Eden’
Actor Song Seung-hun will be returning to the small screen for the first time in five years through the brand new MBC drama series ‘East of Eden’. Song, who is currently busy with the drama shoot, recently told reporters that he definitely feels the pressure of everyone’s expectations over his comeback as he had been away for so long. At the same time, the hunky actor added that he is excited and confident about his upcoming role in the new drama series.
‘East of Eden’ is an epic 50-part drama series that begins in a mining village in the 1960s. The drama stars some of Korea’s most celebrated actors including Lee Mi-suk, Yoo Dong-geun, Jo Min-ki, Han Ji-hye, Lee Da-hye, Yun Jung-hoon, Lee Yeon-hee and Park Hae-ji.
Song takes on the role of Lee Dong-chul who has had one clear goal and purpose in life from early childhood—to take revenge on the man responsible for taking his father’s life.
Song described his character as a traumatized young man who is forced to live a life full of ups and downs but who, at the same time, is full of love for his family and those who love him.
