Still cuts revealedThe first broadcast will be on the 30th at 9:50 PM.Character stills of actor Yoo Yeon-seok, who will appear in MBC's new Friday-Saturday drama 'Liar', have been released. /MBC[THE FACT|Choi Soo-bin Reporter] Actor Yoo Yeon-seok begins a precarious tightrope walk between truth and lies.The production team of MBC's new Friday-Saturday drama 'Liar' (written by Baek Jae-young, directed by Jo Young-min) released character stills and an interview of actor Yoo Yeon-seok, who plays the role of Min Joon-ho, on the 20th. Yoo Yeon-seok revealed everything from the introduction of the work to the key points of his acting, adding to the anticipation for the first broadcast.'Liar' depicts the story of a man and a woman who fiercely clash towards the truth, making completely opposite claims about a single memory. It is also drawing attention as a work that reunites Yoo Yeon-seok and Seo Hyun-jin, who previously starred together in the 2016 SBS drama 'Dr. Romantic', after 10 years.Yoo Yeon-seok's character, Min Jun-ho, is 'the man who tells the truth.' He is a cardiothoracic surgeon who is raising his son alone after his wife passed away. He is a perfectionist who allows no room for error when holding a scalpel, but he also possesses a humor that eases the tension of others, and a childlike innocence can be seen when he smiles. Min Jun-ho's peaceful daily life begins to be shaken by Kang Ji-sun (Seo Hyun-jin), whom he meets by chance.Yoo Yeon-seok introduced it as, "'Liar' is a psychological thriller that makes you reflect not only on the truth but also on how we come to believe someone's words, as different stories collide after an incident. I hope you will pay close attention to not only what the characters say, but also what they don't say, and how those around them perceive those words based on their own experiences and prejudices."In this way, 'Liar' is a work that constantly throws questions at viewers under the premise that one of the two protagonists is lying. Accordingly, Yoo Yeon-seok also paid close attention to his acting to avoid hastily revealing Min Jun-ho's truth.He explained, "Rather than letting viewers know the answer through Min-jun-ho's specific expressions or actions, I tried to act within the situation Min-jun-ho was in and his logic at every moment. Since the same line can sound completely different depending on whose perspective you view it from, I paid close attention to balancing it so that it wouldn't seem like I was excessively expressing emotions or intentionally hiding them.""Styling-wise, we tried to maintain a neat and restrained impression, fitting the character's setting as a trustworthy figure in both the hospital and at home," he added. "How that neat appearance is interpreted differently within the story will also be a point to watch."Finally, Yoo Yeon-seok encouraged viewers by saying, "'Liar' is a work where the perspective on characters and events changes with each new fact revealed. Rather than easily judging one side from the beginning, it would be more interesting to watch if you follow along with each character's words and actions. I hope you will think about not only what is true, but also why we tend to believe certain words more easily.""Liar," consisting of a total of 12 episodes, will premiere on the 30th at 9:50 PM.[Entertainment Department | ssent@tf.co.kr]subin7134@tf.co.kr
