Lee Kwang-soo Redefines Villains in 'The Bequeathed,' Teaming Up with D.O. and Ji Chang-wook

Actor Lee Kwang-soo is set to make waves with a chilling new villainous portrayal in the upcoming Disney+ original series, ‘The Bequeathed’.

Known for his versatile performances, Lee Kwang-soo has consistently delivered memorable villain roles across various projects. In ‘No Way Out: The Roulette,’ he played the unsettling butcher Yoon Chang-jae, captivating audiences with his portrayal of raw desire and generating palpable tension. Furthermore, his role as the increasingly desperate ‘Man with Glasses’ in the Netflix series ‘The Accidental’ earned him critical acclaim and the Best Supporting Actor award at the 4th Blue Dragon Series Awards.

In ‘The Bequeathed,’ Lee Kwang-soo takes on the role of Baek Do-kyung, a VIP connected to the protagonist Yohang (played by D.O.). As a key figure, he embodies wealth and power, and a preview from the production video showcased his ability to amplify D.O.'s character's malevolence with a sinister grin. Lee Kwang-soo himself commented, "I tried to make the character as uncomfortable for the viewers as possible," heightening anticipation for his transformation.

‘The Bequeathed’ will premiere today (5th) with four episodes, followed by two new installments weekly, culminating in a total of twelve episodes. The series also features an ensemble cast including Ji Chang-wook, D.O., Kim Jong-soo, and Jo Yoon-soo.
