As of January 2025, the most explosive star in popularity is actor Lee Jun-hyuk. At a gathering of industry officials, the question "Did you see my perfect secretary?" is always asked, and it is not difficult to find articles online that scan his filmography.

The reason why his stock price soared as the male protagonist of a romance drama looks more beautiful is because of the effort behind it. It is an unusual case that he has emerged as a top star 18 years after his debut, and it can be seen as a result of his consistency step by step.

Each person has a different time of opportunity, and there is no guarantee that they will come. Especially in the entertainment industry, which is full of uncertainty, it is important not to give up, but it is never easy. It is also important to steadily sharpen yourself in order to seize the opportunity when the opportunity comes.

Actor Lee Joon-hyuk, who debuted in 2007, celebrated his 18th anniversary this year. In the meantime, he has been working steadily in and out of the main room and screen, and gradually became known, but it took a long time for him to leap to a star that everyone knows and likes through the drama "My Perfect Secretary."

However, if you look at the time he has passed, you can see that the 'golden age' he was hit by was never accident. In the industry, Lee Joon-hyuk, a sample of the "晩 star" who talks together, examines the time and future to the present.

◆ Perfect romance drama Namjoo's drawing style perfectly reproduces the viewer's romance.SBS's Friday-Saturday drama "My Perfect Secretary," which began broadcasting on the 3rd, depicts a close-up care romance between headhunting company CEO Ji-yoon (Han Ji-min) and secretary Eun-ho (Lee Joon-hyuk). It was organized in prime time as a Friday-Saturday drama, but it was not easy to be sure of its success even before the broadcast because there were competitive films starting around the same time.

However, the drama went viral after the first week of broadcasting, and recorded 10.5% of viewership in three episodes, and 11.3% in the fourth episode, showing a steep rise. After the broadcast, a large number of posts praising the visual combination and chemistry of the two male and female protagonists were posted around the online community, confirming the high buzz.

{My Perfect Secretary} is a classic romance drama that is expected to end in a way. In other words, entering the drama is not burdensome. It was easy to understand the flow even if you don't see it from the first episode, and it made viewers fall into it by dealing with the subject of family and love that can be universally sympathized with.

Instead, actors are completing the drama in a variety of ways by expressing the emotions of the characters in detail. It was possible because there were two male and female protagonists, Han Ji-min and Lee Joon-hyuk, who have strengthened their acting skills through steady work activities, as well as Joo Joo-yeon actors who vividly expressed their characters.

In particular, Lee Joon-hyuk is drawing favorable reviews by expressing "Eunho" plainly without being excessive or less generous. The scene where he casually puts a band on Han Ji-min, who has his hands on paper, and the scene where he calmly takes out an umbrella for a baby and covers it to avoid the sudden rain was talked about online after the broadcast.

◆ Filmography, Skills Built by So Jun-hyuk Without HiatusLee Jun-hyuk,

, can be said to be the title role of 'My Perfect Secretary'. Yoo Eun-ho, who he plays, is a complex character that requires both hardness and softness. He kept his story and had a heartwarming visual, but he turned out to be a single dad, and he had to make a turnaround.

Lee Joon-hyuk, born in 1984, perfectly embodied the character with visuals that look much younger than his real age. It started out as an anti-hate (hate + relationship), but it made Ji-yoon marvel at being "handsome" while drunk, and added persuasive power with a visual that has no sense of incompatibility in playing a character that focuses the attention of other parents at a daycare center.

It is not unreasonable for Internet users to react surprisingly by comparing photos of their rookie days with the present. When he was a rookie in his 20s, he painted darkly and grew a beard, and created the current "Eunho" that captivates women's hearts by revealing exceptionally white skin, shaving his beard cleanly, and managing it with constant weight training.

Of course, everything was possible because of stable acting skills. Lee Joon-hyuk, who debuted in 2007 through a music video of singer Taipoon, has achieved steady growth by appearing in dramas such as "The Man of the Enemy," "Secret Forest" series, and "60 Days, Designated Survivor." Except for his military service days, he never missed a single work or filmed.
