Spring of the Four Seasons– Lee Seung-hyeop’s Breakout Performance Is Full of Heartache and Depth

If you’re not already watching SBS’s Spring of the Four Seasons, you might want to catch up—because Lee Seung-hyeop is quietly stealing the spotlight with a performance that’s as emotionally rich as it is quietly powerful.

Lee plays Seo Tae-yang, a medical student torn between the expectations of his strict father and his own dream of pursuing music. It’s a classic setup, but thanks to Lee’s heartfelt acting, it hits differently. You can feel the tension in every scene where Tae-yang stands up to his father. His steady voice and intense gaze say more than words ever could.

But that’s not all—there’s also a love story, and not the happy kind. When Tae-yang realizes that the person he cares for, Kim Bom (played by Park Ji-hoo), is falling for someone else (Sa-gye, played by Ha Yu-jun), you can see the heartbreak written all over his face. His blank stare and defeated posture in that moment? Absolutely gut-wrenching. It’s the kind of acting that doesn’t need dramatic lines to move you.

Lee Seung-hyeop is best known as the frontman of the band N.Flying, but here, he’s proving he’s just as compelling on screen. His portrayal of a young man navigating conflict, heartbreak, and self-discovery is making Seo Tae-yang one of the most memorable characters of the season.

So if you’re looking for a youth drama with emotional depth, stunning performances, and a story that hits home, Spring of the Four Seasons might be exactly what you need.
