(MBC)

Veteran actor Kim Eui-sung’s role in MBC’s drama “W” deserves praise, said the series’ chief producer in a recent interview.

Kim plays a double role in the show. He stars as the author of the webtoon “W” who is also a father of Oh Yeon-joo (Han Hyo-joo) and as a ruthless assassin that pursues protagonist Kang Chul (Lee Jong-suk) and his wife Oh Yeon-joo.

“Kim is doing such a great job. I appreciate that,” said chief producer Sohn Hyung-suk in an interview with TV Report Sunday. “A producer couldn’t be satisfied more.”

Born in 1965, Kim debuted as a movie actor in 1991. In 2000, he went on a decade-long hiatus to dedicate himself to the movie industry as a producer in Vietnam.

He made a comeback as an actor in 2011 and is enjoying popularity for his roles in the award-winning film “Train to Busan” and “W.”
“W” airs on Wednesdays and Thursdays.
