In the 9th episode of KBS 2TV’s drama ‘Equator Man,’ Kim Sun Woo (played by Uhm Tae Woo) comes back after 13 years.
A lot has changed since his absence: Lee Jang Il (played by Lee Joon Hyuk) graduated from law school and is now the nation’s star prosecutor, Han Ji Won (played by Lee Bo Young) works as the person in charge of VIPs in a hotel, and Choi Soo Mi (played by Lim Jung Eun) is a famous artist.
Out of everyone, Kim Sun Woo is the character that has changed the most. Now he does not need a cane to walk. The audience sees Kim Sun Woo working out his upper body, which is definitely in very good shape. The viewers also see him meet with Lee Jang Il and still looks like he cannot see as his eyes are still unfocused. However, after Lee Jang Il leaves, Uhm Tae Woong’s eyes slowly move to straight, fixed gaze.
Upon seeing his toned body, viewers responded with, “Uhm Tae Woong’s back muscles are so attractive,” “Seriously came back a perfect man,” “Uhm pose is looking good,” etc.
Meanwhile the episode pulled in a viewer rating of 12.0%, taking first among its competitors.
