Actor Lee Cheon-hee is returning to television after a break of three years and five months.
According to his agency, Management Soop, on the 22nd, Lee Cheon-hee has been cast in MBC's new Friday-Saturday drama 'Liar' (planned by Lee Dae-yong, directed by Jo Young-min, written by Baek Jae-young, produced by Movie Company Jip and Kakao Entertainment), which is set to premiere on October 30. This marks Lee Cheon-hee's first appearance in a TV drama since the conclusion of the Genie TV drama 'Paper Moon' in May 2023, approximately three years and five months ago.

Recently, he took on the role of 'Danny', a man hesitant to form new relationships in the play 'Beginning', connecting with audiences through his calm and pure charm. Lee Cheon-hee, known for his versatile ability to embody diverse characters, is expected to showcase an intriguing performance in 'Liar'.
