Actor Lee Joon-gi will be starring in SBS's upcoming series, "Again My Life," (direct translation), which is scheduled to air in the first half of next year.
The actor's agency, Namoo Actors, announced Wednesday that he had been confirmed in the lead role for the new series.
Based on the web novel of the same title, the series follows a prosecutor named Kim Hee-woo (Lee), seeking revenge for his death.
Hee-woo is a resilient, determined prosecutor who does not negotiate with criminals. After getting killed while trying to take down a powerful crime boss, he enters the afterlife but is sent back for a second chance at life.
Using his skill and determination, he uses this chance to hunt his murderer and take down the corrupt politician Cho Tae-sup (Lee Kyung-young) who runs his own crime cartel.
The series is directed by Han Chul-soo, whose previous work includes the mystery series, "Graceful Family."
Lee debuted in 2003 with a minor role in the popular sitcom, "Nonstop 4," and rose to stardom after landing the lead role in the local box-office hit, "The King and The Clown," in 2005.
He has taken roles in various TV series and films, including SBS's period series, "Iljimae," tvN's romance series, "Moon Lovers: Scarlet Heart Ryeo," and the romance film, "Never Said Goodbye," as well as the Hollywood film, "Resident Evil: The Final Chapter," in 2016.
