Meet NA INWOO, the actor who was able to fit into his most challenging role in less than 24 hours

Like in a card game, NA INWOO was able to turn upside-down his life. By joining "River Where the Moon Rises" and replacing Jisoo in the leading role of On Dal, he became one of the most talked-about actors in the industry. Not only because he was able to turn what could have been a huge misfortune for KBS into a streak of luck but also because, in this role, NA INWOO was able to show his full potential as the main lead in a K-drama. He was in fact able to wear On Dal heavy clothes in less than 24 hours, with a transition from the previous actor so smooth that was praised all around the web. NA INWOO, whose real name is Na Jong-chan, is no longer a 26-year-old note-worthy rookie. He is ready for a new lead role in "The Jinx's Lover", a fantasy romance drama based on a popular webtoon about an unfortunate man and a cursed goddess.

While we'll wait for this new project to be aired, Panorama.it had an exclusive talk with him.
