Lee Joon Gi recently uploaded
a picture of his GPS running watch ostensibly to share details of his running
practice but what was clearly noticeable was his sun-kissed skin. This must
have been the result of his visit to a tanning salon. The film and television legend and
icon has been keeping a punishing running schedule presumably to toughen up for
his upcoming Mystery-Comedy-Action television series, Gyeongbokgung Detective
Agency. It was reported that the A-list actor has been offered the role of King
Hyejong, and if he has already accepted, it is a massive coup for the
production company.

The multihyphenate, whose
pitch-perfect performance in his dual roles of the twins, Aramun and Saya in
The Sword of Aramun, has astounded and impressed the global audiences. No other actor could
have executed a similar performance in the Mythological-War-Action-Epic television
series as amazingly as Lee has. Aramun is greatly beloved by the audience. But that
cannot be said of his twin brother, Saya who, although likeable, is offensive and
irritating at the same time. Lee bought out the vulnerability, courage and
brokenness of the twins so perfectly. The depth that Lee has brought to the television
series couldn’t be duplicated. Lee's performance is the stuff of legends. Seriously, who can act so amazingly, perform
those spectacular action stunts and at the same time, exert such a powerful and
seductive aura in the series? He was flawless. It is the best casting decision
in television history.
The multihyphenate Lee Joon
Gi’s upcoming role as King Hyejong is still wrapped in secrecy. Lee’s King
Hyejong, the hilarious fictional Joseon Sherlock Holmes, and Yi Seo, his royal
historian who has a photographic memory, are probably the only members of the clandestine
Gyeongbokgung investigation bureau. The wacky king probably has multiple
intelligences and can be spoken of as insane, comical, shrewd, witty,
articulate, kind and dangerous in the same breath.
It is expected that the
uniquely hilarious story, the innovative storytelling and the unimaginable worldbuilding
will be the most exciting in television history. The tentatively titled Gyeongbokgung
Detective Agency, which is written by So Min Seon and produced by Studio N,
will stream and air in 2026. The crucial decision on the major players, the
mega-streamer and the airing station have yet to be revealed. 
Fans envision that Lee Joon Gi would take the local and global audiences by storm, leaving them in awe of his inimitable, impressive acting style, emotional depth, commanding, seductive presence and spectacular action performance. Banking on 2026 to be an amazing year for the multihyphenate, they expect that he would take their hopes and turn them into world-wide glory.
