The Script For ‘Doona’ Made Yang Se-Jong’s Heart Thump

It’s been a while since Yang Se-jong appeared in a drama. After serving the almost two years of the mandatory military duty required of South Korean men, the actor took some time to consider his comeback role.

Before serving he was already the winner of three Best New Actor Awards for his role as a chef in the 2017 drama Temperature of Love. He played a designer in the fantasy romance Still 17 and his last role was the warrior Seo-hwi in the historical drama My Country: The New Age. He chose Doona, another romance, but the choice was less about the genre than how the script made him feel.
