Thanks for bringing this up. I couldn't bear to. I'm not a big consumer of dramas or movies for that matter but I was actually a fan of Mr. Lee from a long time ago. He's the main character in a series I really enjoyed, My Wife Is Having An Affair This Week. He could be funny too. Going back even further, he was in that smash hit drama Coffee Prince.
What happened to him is so disturbing, as are the broader problems of Korea's war on drugs, and corrupt law enforcement, exposed by this sad story. Thankful that a god tier celeb like Director Bong is speaking out.
