Actress Kim Heung Soo picked for his first project back from military service as a drama special.

In the KBS drama special short drama 2014, "18 Years Old" in the role of the male protagonist, Kim Heung Soo was cast in the role of Han Suk Hyun.  This is the first piece that he is coming back to after finishing his national military service for two years in service so it is attracting attention.

Suk Hyun is a talented high school athelete to go to national competitions and was the rising star in boxing but after a dramatic situation, he is continuing the fish business without complaint.  He is in guilty that because of himself, his mother and destroyed younger sibling Suk Joo (played by Suh Young Joo) and lives day to day diligently to erase the shadows of the past that were unstable.

Kim Heun Soo delivered the different attitude and said, "Now that I am at the filming set, there are more younger siblings.  I want to have more responsibility and am tending to the filming."

Moreover, in 'Eighteen Years Old" Suk Hyun is a character that understands the expression-less and hopless expressions of his eighteen year old sibling who has the same growth pains.  Suk Hyun is getting to awkwardly be an adult and Suk Hyun is regarding his older brother as foolish and coward-like but through Suk Joo's growing, the staff wanted to show the instability of the youth that is unchanging in our life, as they introduced the piece.

Kim Heung Soo confesses that he wanted to act so much.  "After acting for ten years, I have passed an empty part of my acting and have entered my thirties.  Just like that "Eighteen Years Old" became my first piece.  Since my mind is faster than my head, there are difficulties but I had a lot of conversations with director Kim Jin Woo and writer Yoo Bo Rah and am trying to fix things as I go" as he showed his determination for the piece.

Meanwhile, "Eighteen Years" is a collaboration between writer Yoo Bo Rah and producer Kim Jin Woo that worked together in KBS drama special Season 3, "High Side" and is a piece that has high expectations.

Especially as the piece "Secret" of writer Yoo Bo Ra has been noted as the best KBS drama of 2013, it will be interesting to see what the perspective is towards the youth.

The drama special that Kim Heun Soo participates in will be aired at 11:55PM on April 27th.
