Actor Joo Sang-wook is featured in the upcoming issue of fashion magazine Bazaar, just in time to coincide with two new drama projects: the just-premiered Paradise Ranch on SBS, and the soon-to-come Thorn Birds on KBS.

Joo Sang-wook’s roles in the two dramas are vastly different from each other, just as the two dramas are complete opposites in subject and tone: Paradise Ranch is a light romantic comedy, while Thorn Birds is billed as a melodrama with the potential for lots of weepy angst. The former premiered this week, while the latter will take to airwaves in February.

The sudden confluence of projects is actually more coincidence than anything (Paradise Ranch was delayed and delayed, and finally happened to premiere just as he took on his next role), but it puts Joo in the spotlight just as he’s finally hitting the next stage in his career. He gained a lot of attention for his career-changing turn in Giant last year, and Thorn Birds will be his first time as leading man in a drama.
