He takes on the role of Hee-jae, the eldest son of Ho-sik (Lee Soon-jae) in the new jTBC weekend drama "Childless Comfort" that's coming on the 13th of October.

Yoo Dong-geun is returning with a drama for the first time in a year and eight months since drama "ATHENA" in February last year.

Yoo Dong-geun was cast for writer Kim Su-hyun's drama first in the year 2000 for SBS "Populus Tree" as the third son of Lee Soon-jae. He is Lee Soon-jae's son once again.

"Childless Comfort" Hee-jae is a round and bubbly character and a former teacher who also has diabetes. He is loyal and obedient to his nurse wife Ji-ae (Kim Hae-sook) but his patience reaches its limit when his trusty daughter So-yeong (Uhm Ji-won) causes trouble.

This is a new change for Yoo Dong-geun compared to the heavy roles of a king, a general or a chairman of a huge company he's played so far. He's made new glasses to go along with the timid image he is in this drama.

Meanwhile, "Childless Comfort" starts shooting on the 23rd.
