The movie "Noryang: Deadly Sea" is a war action masterpiece that takes place in 1598, when the seven-year Imjin War nears an end as Wae invaders prepare to withdraw from Joseon. Admiral Yi Sun-sin leads an allied fleet of Joseon and Ming ships to annihilate the Wae army. Joseon, Ming, and Wae forces clash at Noryang Strait, the deadly sea where Admiral Yi fights his last valiant battle. It is attracting attention as a work that will mark the end of the Yi Sun-sin trilogy, following "The Admiral: Roaring Currents" (2014) and "Hansan: Rising Dragon" (2022).

In the drama, Lee Mu-saeng plays Konishi, the spearhead of the Japanese army. Konishi is a person who carries out a strategy to get rid of Admiral Yi Sun-sin for the victory of Japan. Expectations are high for Lee Mu-saeng's unique transformation with deep and solid acting skills.

Recently, Lee Mu-saeng has been making active moves in movies and dramas. In addition to tvN's new drama "Maestra: Strings of Truth" which is scheduled to premiere in December, he is scheduled to appear in the Coupang Play series "Hide" and the movie "Citizen of a Kind" which are scheduled to be released in 2024.

In particular, Lee Mu-saeng proves a wide spectrum of acting by playing a new character in each of the works he appears in. In "Noryang: Deadly Sea", attention is being paid to what kind of acting he will show as Konishi, a Japanese soldier.

"Noryang: Deadly Sea" which captures the fierce battle scene, will be released on December 20.
