In the months leading up to the launch of his new drama, SBS’ Again
My Life in April 2022, Lee Joon Gi has been busily promoting the drama by
posting teasers in the form of photos, images, video clips on Instagram to
incite curiosity, and ramp up excitement and anticipation. His social media
posts hint or allude to what is to come. Everyone can already hear the
almighty roar of Lee Joon Gi and the thunderous roar of approval of netizens
and fans in the Year of the Tiger. Again My
Life is expected to be roaring success and reign supreme in 2022 and
beyond. Lee has kept his passionate fans and
impressed netizens engaged and busy. They have responded by posting countless
comments, beautiful artwork, funny gifs, delightful videos, articles,
reposting interesting news about him and his drama, and organizing events for
him. Their comments are hilarious, naughty, teasing, deliriously joyful,
outrageously playful, deliciously entertaining or imaginative. Some bawdy
messages are clearly unprintable.

SBS Drama Awards on 31 December 2021 were posted on social media. Lee shone
the brightest among the stars present in the show. The first thing that the public noticed about Lee Joon Gi was
the amount of weight he had lost since his April 2021 birthday celebrations.
The photos showcase a sexy, slender, trim and taut Lee Joon Gi. He had
noticeably shed quite a bit of weight, just like in 2016 when he lost 15
kilos (33 lbs) for the SBS’ Moon Lovers: Scarlet Heart Ryeo. If that
is what Kim Hee Woo, the prosecutor, looks like in Again My Life,
Lee will be a delightful feast for the eyes and a resounding success. With the unleashing of his charming power, the great surge of
excitement in his fandom and among viewers in the Kdrama cyber world is evident. Favourable
comments flooded the social media. One fan swooned, ‘This is making me think
sinful thoughts!’ Another says, ‘He’s delicious!’ Other comments
include: What a sexy man!’ ‘A vision of sexiness!’ ‘What a feast!’ ‘If he
looks like this in the 2022 drama, all the girls will faint!’ ‘Unbelievably
handsome!’ ‘I’m hyperventilating’ ‘Can’t wait to see him in Again My Life’ ‘Lee
Joon Gi is really hot!’ ‘What if he’s waiting for me?’ ‘The atmosphere seems
hot - I’m steaming!’ ‘He’s the most wonderful thing in the world!’ ‘We thank
you for existing’ ‘Many are salivating!’ ‘I’m electrified’ There is also a clip of Kim Hee Woo effortlessly performing
some gymnastic stunts, including splits and a back handspring. Many enamoured
fans have derived much guilty pleasure from watching the clip in a continuous
loop. The sexy, supple and lithe Lee Joon Gi has ignited something; hearts
are on fire. https://www.instagram.com/tv/CY-edsJsaOZ/?utm_medium=copy_link The actor says: ‘Need to
stretch before filming’ A thunderstruck fan whose heart must been racing furiously asked
unashamedly: ‘I wonder how our heartbeats will return to normal’.
Another offered, ‘I’ll warm you up!’ Other comments: ‘What
beautiful limbs!’ ‘You’re so beautiful!’ ‘We’re trapped!’ ‘My imagination will
not stop!’ ‘I’m going to watch Again My Life countless times if he looks like
this!’ ‘Can’t help but watch him over and over again!’ ‘This is temptation!’ ‘He’s
a Happy Virus’! ‘A Weapon of Mass Destruction!’ ‘Lee Joon Gi is incredibly
sexy!’ ‘I’m healed by his smiles’ ‘Your smile brightens our days!’ ‘Lee Joon
Gi can do everything!’ ‘A happy pill!’ ‘Love this cheerful looking man!’ ‘Lee
and Again My Life have my absolute approval!’ ‘Joongi is My Joy’ ‘So
incredibly attractive’ ‘I’m obsessed’ ‘This guy needs a lot of loving and I’m
going to give it!’ ‘Please stop smiling – my knees have weakened’ ‘He’s
sizzling hot!’ ‘I’m a sucker for young, sexy men’ ‘Such sexy legs – I’m done
for!’ I’ve been waiting for Again My Life to begin!’ ‘Oh, the adrenalin
rush!’ ‘If this is Lee Joon Gi’s face, imagine his opponent – he is probably in
the hospital by now!’ ‘He certainly heats up the temperature!’ ‘I might
commit a crime!’ (Whatever that means) Lee’s Instagram update on 13
January 2022 shows him firmly focussed on a shooting game. https://www.instagram.com/p/CYqyOyGPOc9/ Lee says, ‘I haven’t held a gun for a long time.’ The
audience can expect Kim Hee Woo to be armed with guns to shoot Korea’s public
enemies in Again My Life. The deadly gaze of a handsome
man What are the responses of his fans? ‘Oh, that sexy gunman!’ ‘Why
does he need a gun when he is perfectly armed with such a deadly gaze?’ ‘I’m
rooting for Lee Joon Gi and Again My Life!’ ‘He’s well-known as a
sharpshooter during his army days – he can shoot at our hearts with deadly
precision!’ ‘No need guns – his lethal stare is enough to wither anyone!’
‘Lee Joon Gi and Again My Life are the biggest attractions in 2022!’ If the frenzy of excitement and activity on social media is an indication of the future response of the audience towards Again My Life,
then SBS would need to take some special precautions. Ambulances need to be
lined up for those who might become casualties of this delicious Weapon of
Mass Destruction. SBS’ Again My Life is a tale about Kim Hee Woo,
an earnest fortyish prosecutor played by Lee Joon Gi. The fiery and reckless
crusader of justice screws up his criminal investigation against Jo Tae
Seop, the most powerful but corrupt politician played by Lee Kyeong-young. He is mysteriously murdered. Resurrected
by either The Angel of Death or The Grim Reaper, Kim Hee Woo
is given another opportunity to pursue justice. His youth is restored and he
is 18 again. With new, illuminating insights from long reflection and
access to abundant knowledge and extensive experience, the newly-minted schoolboy
gets into fighting shape, transforms his life, makes important allies
including experienced seniors and wise mentors, plots and designs flawless strategies
to successfully combat evil. By the time Kim Hee Woo graduates from
law school, he is a fighting machine. But the top prosecutor, now without
delusions, is cool, calm and collected. He refuses to be distracted by the romantic pursuit of Kim Hee Ah, a young lady from a powerful Chaebol
family, played by Kim Ji Eun. Cold, detached and focussed. The unstoppable
game changer easily spots the powerful, arrogant and evil criminals whose
criminal network spreads like tentacles from the powerhouse of politics to
the economy, showbusiness and the media. He sets out step-by-step to trap
them and bring them to justice. The 16-episode legal-action-fantasy drama, Again My Life, the most highly anticipated 2022 drama which is directed by Han Cheol Soo, will premiere in the first half of 2022. It is scripted by J and Kim Yul, and adapted from Lee Hae-nal’s web novel of the same name by Lee Byung-hun. The SBS drama is produced by Samhwa Networks and Cross Pictures. AGAIN MY LIFE ON VIU
Again My Life is touted to be a VIU Original. It seems to mean that the drama is exclusive to its platform (other than SBS) and can only be viewed with a VIU subscription. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EU7Cj-2KaLc
