The actor said he put effort into portraying Tae Oh and showcasing his inner feelings. He asked the viewers to closely watch the calm and persistent sides of him in the new drama. The cast member said he tried to make changes in his acting style to hide the expressions of the character.
"He's a persistent character who has to chase a problem to the end and solve it once he decides on a goal. As a figure who is good at maintaining a poker face, he doesn't show his claws when solving problems. I put a lot of changes into acting to hide the expressive parts and showcase [the character's] inner feelings thoroughly. Through The Impossible Heir, I think I can show some thorough and calm as well as persistent sides of me," the actor said.
Director Min Yeon Hong praised Jae Wook for showcasing his charms to the fullest in the mini-series. Min Yeon said Jae Wook acted as Tae Oh, he maintained a poker face to hide the character's expression. The director asked the viewers to watch the character closely to relate to and feel his charm.
"While watching Lee Jae Wook's career, the way he portrayed diverse characters with depth left an impression. At the same time, I like that he is an actor who showcases his charms to the fullest. I believe if Lee Jae Wook acts as Han Tae Oh, who is always serious and maintains a poker face to not easily show his feelings, I think viewers can relate and feel his charm," the director shared.
