So Ji Sub is making headlines for his striking resemblance to Ki Jun, the lead character in the upcoming Netflix series 'Mercy for None.' Fans are already calling it a perfect match, saying he looks like he stepped right out of the webtoon.
The series is based on a popular Naver webtoon and tells the story of Ki Jun, a man who once cut his own Achilles tendon to escape his criminal past. After disappearing for eleven years, he returns with a clear goal: revenge. Written by Park So Young and directed by Kim Jin Min, 'Mercy for None' is expected to deliver a gritty, action-packed noir drama.
Ever since So Ji Sub was cast in the lead role, fans of the original webtoon have been buzzing with excitement. Online, many are saying that So Ji Sub is the perfect choice for Ki Jun. He had actually been the top pick in many fan-made casting lists long before the series was announced. From his piercing gaze to his stoic expression and hidden emotional depth, So Ji Sub seems to capture the essence of the character completely.
He has already proven his ability to portray intense and complex characters through dramas like 'Master’s Sun,' 'Phantom,' and 'I’m Sorry, I Love You.' In the film 'A Company Man,' he played a cold-hearted killer, leaving a strong impression with his powerful action scenes.
'Mercy for None' also marks his return to the action genre after thirteen years, which makes the anticipation even greater. With his experience and undeniable presence, So Ji Sub’s performance is expected to bring the character of Ki Jun to life in a way that fans won’t forget.
