Lee Kwang-soo is back in the spotlight with not one but two major dramas currently on screens.
The Korean actor shows his range in workplace comedy The Divorce Insurance โ streaming globally on Amazon Prime โ alongside Lee Dong-wook and in the twisty Netflix thriller series Karma, in which he shares the limelight with Shin Min-a and Park Hae-soo.
Lee has been a draw on big and small screens for well over a decade but he is far from your typical leading man, not least because, at over 190cm (6ft 2in), he towers over most of his co-stars.
His height drew attention when he was at school, with offers to play sports such as basketball and volleyball. In high school he began modelling, and took an interest in acting.
However, after the theatre troupe he had joined fell apart, he became disillusioned and quickly enrolled for his military service โ compulsory in South Korea.
