Uhm Ki Joon | A Quick Guide To The Cast Of Kdrama The Penthouse: War In Life

It was not my first time to encounter Uhm Ki Joon in a drama, so I already know that he's very much in the same high level as the other 3 female leads of The Penthouse: War In Life when it comes to acting experience. I've seen him first in the musical drama Dream High, portraying a kind professor in Kirin high school. His character was so different in his role in The Penthouse, they are the polar opposites of good and evil. lol I now no longer wonder why he accepted such kind of work as Dream High, because he's actually a known musical theater actor to begin with. He first debuted in theater and became a popular musical theater actor up until today. This just shows how diverse he could act because he's experienced in both theater and television dramas.

We all hated his character in The Penthouse as Joo Dan Tae. He's the definition of a human possessing almost all of the deadly sins. We all know that Joo Dan Tae is a fictional character, but I can't help but get carried away with his spiteful actions. I hate him. lol

Here let us show you some information about the actor behind Joo Dan Tae:
