Lee Min Ho leads the star studded cast of "The Heirs" as Kim Tan.

Many are wondering if being cast as a character that is similar to the role than shot him to fame bothers Lee Min Ho, but he is confident that he will be able to portray it differently.

Last October 7, the cast of "The Heirs" were interviewed in a press conference at Patio9 in Seoul. When asked about his new character, Lee Min Ho said, "I am different from when I played Gu Jun Pyo 4 years ago."

Gu Jun Pyo is a rich high school student who fell in love with a poor man's daughter in the drama "Boys Over Flowers". This role is being compared to his new character, Kim Tan, who is the heir of a corporation that led Korea's industrialization.

Lee Min Ho added, "As soon as the drama starts, your worries about my character being similar to Gu Jun Pyo will vanish. I am working hard to deliver the role as comfortably as I could."

He has also previously expressed the pressure of working with a cast of much younger actors, but according to him, "I would like to have a student role before I reach 30. While I'm still young, I would like to act out the pure innocence of my character."
