After a few possible enlistment dates bandied about in the past year, it’s finally time to say auf wiedersehen to actor Lee Jong Seok who is confirmed to head to the military next week on March 8th. He’s leaving on a solid career note with the well-received tvN rom-com Romance is a Bonus Book, and having the chance to work with his dream costar Lee Na Young. Lee Jong Seok is enlisting towards the tail end of the enlistment period but he hasn’t wasted delaying his service, having plowed through successive popular dramas starting from Pinocchio to W: Two Worlds then While You You Sleeping and now Bonus Book. He’s in the cover and pages of the March edition of 1st Look magazine in a pictorial title United Colors of Romance as he wears the preppy and colorful outfits with confidence and ease. I’m not going to miss him as much while he’s gone since my Lee Jong Seok craze has mellowed out but he’s definitely got to recharge and ready himself for two years later to come back and take his career to another level.

He looks so good, I will miss him. Here's hoping he comes back a bigger star
Should it be March 8. He choose his projects well I can't believe he will leave and will come back in 2021.
He’s looking better these days, he should not do anything else to his face unless completely necessary. I wish him luck in the army.
All I can say is, it's about time that he enlists.
There's also Hymn of Death, that was...an unusual type of drama (his performance was good though even if the character was like his usual 'sensitive soul' type, no hate since that's what he does well).
Anyway, good luck to him on his military service and I hope he completes it well.
I find his nose and mouth so weird but he wins me over with his easy charming screen presence . He seems to do well with noona leading ladies. Really liked him in ICHYV but could not watch the next 3 dramas because of bland PSY, blank Suzy, and horrible OTT lazy acting by HHJ. Couldn't believe this was the same girl I liked so much in BL/SI.
I am enjoying LIABB so much. Love the other couples in the drama. ....the short tempered editor and the designer are stealing the show these last few episodes.Loved the scene where they decide to go ahead with the meeting with the two juniors asleep on the table from exhaustion .
I agree with you. I loved him in School 2013 and ICHYV, but since then I start his dramas but end up dropping them, because of the same reasons as you. And one thing that I hate is the make-up, I believe he would look better all natural and less glossy.
Now, I have not drop his current drama bc of the second lead couple, for me they have more chemistry and sorry to the main lead couple but it's a better story.
He looks good regardless! Will miss him and can’t wait for his return! ❤️
I actually a big fans of him before, all his drama is a must watch for me, he actually always worked with big writer thats why he always get a good drama. but then I'm become bored with him. He always acted as the same character over and over again. I skip his last two drama. Thats why Im not going to miss him. I hope when he comeback, I already forget his acting's style, so I can enjoyed his drama again.
Don't get hit on the nose by other soldiers :-)
Sound practical advice.
I can’t believe some of the comments. Where’s good manners these days?
