Actor Lee Seo-jin stars in OCN s original mystery series, Times ― his first TV series appearance since Trap on the same network in 2019. I have always been keen on such genre works, the actor said during the online media conference for the upcoming series, Tuesday. So, I mainly looked through scripts for mystery/thriller genre works. And out of those, I really enjoyed the script for Times, so I decided to join.
