Let’s learn more about them:
Immortal oppa - Ha Dong Soo
Connect stars Jung Hae In as Ha Dong Soo, who is an immortal being known as ‘Connect’. He gets kidnapped by a gang of organ harvesters, and later escapes with one of his eyes missing. He discovers that he can still see out of his missing eye, which is now being used by a serial killer who has been terrorising the residents of Seoul.
High school oppa - Ji Soo Heon
In Revenge of Others, Lomon plays the righteous Ji Soo Heon, who is skilled in martial arts. Although handsome and popular, Soo Heon isn’t pompous or cocky — in fact, he is a vigilante, defending bully victims in school.
Soo Heon is also hardworking. Outside of school, he works several jobs to care for his sick mother, whose medical bills are piling up.
Ambitious oppa - Lee Seung Cheon
Yook Sung Jae plays humble but ambitious student Lee Seung Cheon in the fantasy high school drama, The Golden Spoon. When fate reaches out to him, an underprivileged high school student with the promise of a life filled with riches in exchange for a paltry sum, his life is turned upside down when everything he ever wanted – and more – comes.
Referred to as a ‘dirt spoon’, Seung Cheon is mercilessly bullied for being poor. He takes matters into his own hands, and climbs the social ranks when presented with a chance.
Eccentric oppa - Cheon Ji Hoon
Fashionable, goofy, comical, righteous, and kind — these are some of the terms that best describe Namgoong Min’s role as lawyer Cheon Ji Hoon.
Ji Hoon is also an incredibly skilled lawyer. But instead of charging exorbitant fees for his legal services, Ji Hoon chooses to be modest and empathetic — he only charges a meagre 1,000 Korean Won to help desperate clients.
Confident oppa - Park Chang Ho
Lee Jong Suk plays young, handsome lawyer Park Chang Ho, who is very cocky. He constantly exaggerates his abilities and is always getting into trouble, thus earning the nickname, Big Mouth.
Chang Ho is also smart and tactical. After being wrongfully accused as a criminal mastermind, he executes his new role convincingly, coming up with many ingenious plans.
Despite being labelled a ‘criminal’, one thing about Chang Ho remains the same — his immeasurable love for his wife.
Wise oppa - Ha Woo Shin
In Adamas, veteran actor Ji Sung plays twin brothers Ha Woo Shin and Song Soo Hyun.
Best-selling mystery novelist Woo Shin is composed and quiet. True to him being a mystery novelist, he is insightful, wise, and seems to know everything. He is able to put things into perspective, and always separates work from his private life.
Meanwhile, his brother Soo Hyun is the complete opposite of him. He is a prosecutor, and has an honest and cocky personality.
