Did You Know? Lee Soo Hyuk’s Role in ‘Tomorrow’ is Not a Major Character in the Webtoon
Fans praise Lee Soo Hyuk for his outstanding performance in "Tomorrow." However, did you know that his role was not a major character in the original webtoon.
The 33-year-old heartthrob is one of the lead stars in the MBC action fantasy K-drama alongside SF9's Rowoon, Kim Hee Sun, and Yun Ji On.
In the weekend series, Lee Soo Hyuk took on the role of cold-blooded grim reaper Park Joong Gil. He is the elite team leader of the Guiding Management Team. He escorts the souls to the afterlife.
While the actor mesmerizes the viewers with his portrayal and visuals of a terrifying grim reaper, Park Joong Gil is reportedly not the webtoon's main character.
Why Did Lee Soo Hyuk's Role in 'Tomorrow' Became One of the Main Characters in K-drama?
As viewers know, the MBC series is based on the webtoon of the same name. According to Tap Comics, the K-drama changed some parts from the original webtoon, starting with Park Joong Gil's character.
While viewers see him as Goo Ryun's (Kim Hee Sun) rival, Tap Comics mentioned that the elite team leader is not one of the main characters.

Based on the website, the Guiding Management Team head "appears on occasion and has disagreements" with their rival team, Crisis Management, "but he is not involved in most episodes of the webtoon."
It is safe to say that the drama adaptation added his role as one of the leading characters to spice up the story, especially between him and Goo Ryun.

Apart from being the main character in the K-drama adaptation, another thing that MBC changed from the webtoon series is Park Joong Gil's connection with Goo Ryun.
In the 16-part episode series, the cold-blooded grim reaper and Goo Ryun have been romantically involved since they were young.
In one episode, the young lovers had a scene where a ceremony was set ahead of a wedding but based on the webtoon, Park Joong Gil's past was briefly stated, and he has no romance with Goo Ryeon.
However, the K-drama retained how he despises people who commit suicide. This is because he probably knew someone from the past who has done it. This brought him a traumatic experience.
'Tomorrow' Episode 7 Release Date and What to Expect
While episode 6 delivered a whirlwind of emotion, "Tomorrow" episode 7 is set to rock Goo Ryun's team with a shocking incident.
Based on the teaser, the Jade Emperor wants to minimize the people on the Crisis Management team. This made the team leader caught off guard.
On the other hand, the trio is set to do another challenging case involving a group of office workers who were mistreated by their boss.
"Tomorrow" episode 7 release date is scheduled to air on April 22, Friday.
