Renowned actor Lee Hee Joon will make a special cameo in the premiere episode of SBS’s new Friday-Saturday drama 'Love Scout' (Director: Ham Jun Ho, Kim Jae Hong; Writer: Ji Eun; Production: Studio S, IO Contents Group).
'Love Scout' tells the story of Ji Yoon (played by Han Ji Min), the CEO of a headhunting company who is brilliant at her job, and Eun Ho (played by Lee Jun Hyuk), her impeccable secretary. Together, they embark on a journey blending professional challenges with a budding romance.
Lee Hee Joon’s role as Peter Kwon, the first-ever Asian F1 team design lead, adds to the intrigue of the first episode. Peter becomes a prime target for Ji Yoon’s headhunting firm, 'People’s,' as she strives to secure his talent for her client.
