On the 31st, a production presentation for JTBC’s new Wednesday-Thursday drama ‘Awesome Fixer’ was held at the Stanford Hotel in Sangam, Seoul.

In fact, Kang Ki-young expressed the pressure he felt while filming on YouTube’s ‘Sweet Brother Shin Dong-yeop’, which was released on the 29th. In the video, Kang Ki-young said, “I was unfamiliar with the idea of being next to someone as a pure heart, and I was afraid because I had never acted before, but when I tried it, it was interesting because I was able to feel and express new emotions.”
Regarding his chemistry with Lee Ji-young, Kang Ki-young said, “9.5 out of 10,” and about leaving out 0.5, he said, “I think it’s my personal problem,” which made everyone laugh.
Kang Ki-young took on a villainous role in his previous work, ‘Phenomenal Rumors 2: Counter Punch’, bringing freshness with a character that is 180 degrees different from his previous image. In this ‘Awesome Fixer’, he takes on a new challenge by taking on the role of a male protagonist in the romance genre for the first time. .
Through previous works such as ‘Oh My Ghost’, ‘What’s Wrong with Secretary Kim’, ‘Moment of Eighteen’, ‘Weird Lawyer Woo Young-woo’, and ‘Incredible Rumors 2: Counter Punch’, he has played any role, switching between good and bad roles. Attention is being paid to what kind of charm the ‘awesome problem solver’ portrayed by Kang Ki-young, a ‘character digestive agent’, will show off.
Meanwhile, JTBC’s new Wednesday-Thursday drama ‘Awesome Fixer’ is a drama about a ‘bad spouse’ punishment solution in which Korea’s best divorce solver puts an end to his client’s problematic marriage.
‘Awesome Fixer’ will be aired for the first time at 8:50 PM on the 31st. Reporter Cho Min-jeong mj.cho@sportschosun.com
