Acting in the Drama Reply 1988
Lee Dong-hwi played the role of Ryu Dyong-ryong, who actually comes from the most well-off family compared to his friends. His father is the school principal and his mother is a career woman who works in an insurance company. Dyong-ryong joins Duk-seon and the gang mainly because he can’t stand being lonely at home without his mother’s company and also because he can’t stand the attitude of his fierce father. Dyong-ryong is the class clown and has the prediction of being stupid at school (similar to Duk-seon). Even so, he is a good friend since he is always there when his friends face problems. Dyong-ryong’s personality is a class-clown that likes to do stupid but entertaining things, such as dancing, making bad jokes, and teasing others. But without his appearance, the whole gang would just lack the element of amusement. However, Dong-ryong’s life story has been limited to just one episode. At the end of the story, Dong-ryong ends up being a restaurant owner. As in the drama, the original Dong-hwi himself is also full of jokes and laughter. No wonder that he matched this role.
