While actor Jung Il-woo played an active role as a "hero of the weekend drama" through "Fancy Days," he expressed his sincere feelings about the end of the show.
In KBS 2TV's weekend drama "The Brilliant Days," which ended on the 25th, Jung Il-woo played Lee Ji-hyuk and was well received for convincingly unraveling the new resolution deadline narrative from the three-dimensional aspect of coolness and warmth.
After the time-limited sentence, Lee Ji-hyuk distanced himself from Ji Eun-oh (played by Jeong In-sun), but the two eventually confirmed each other's feelings. However, Lee Ji-hyuk, who was hospitalized due to the rapid deterioration of his condition, tried to keep a calm attitude and hid his pain. The scene where he honestly confessed his desperate intention by handing over a will to Park Sung-jae (Yoon Hyun-min) made viewers cry. Since then, Lee Ji-hyuk's appearance in a coma has raised the tension of the play to its peak.
In the last episode, Lee Ji-hyuk was pictured receiving a heart transplant from his father Lee Sang-chul (played by Cheon Ho-jin), who had a car accident. Three years later, Lee Ji-hyuk regained his normal routine, but whenever he remembered his father, his face was filled with indelible sadness. At the end of the broadcast, he gave his heart to him and left a deep resonance on the small screen, expressing a mixture of feelings of gratitude and guilt for his father who left. As such, Lee Ji-hyuk's earnestness, which did not give up his family nor love, met Jung Il-woo's unique sincere voice and gave a heavy aftertaste.
Jung Il-woo said through his agency, J1 International Company, "I'd like to thank the viewers for their love of the work for a long time," adding, "Thanks to the director, the writer, all the staff who worked together on the site, and the actors of the senior and junior teams, I was able to finish it safely."
Every week, I lived a character named Lee Ji-hyuk and felt and learned a lot as an actor and as a person. I'm so disappointed that the end of the show is not yet real, but I think it will be a precious work that will be remembered for a long time," he said, expressing special affection. In addition, "We are preparing to greet you with another aspect through a new work in the near future. Please look forward to it," he added.
"Fancy Days" is a drama of Jung Il-woo's return to Korea, which not only has solid acting skills but also has a high point of visual. Even in the long breath of 50 episodes, he delicately controlled the amplitude of his emotions and supported the central axis of the play until the end. Thanks to this good performance, Jung Il-woo won the men's excellence award in the feature drama category of the "2025 KBS Acting Awards."
