After Big Deal, Lee Je-hoon talks about his roles in new seasons of Signal, Taxi Driver
Actor Lee Je-hoon is keeping his momentum strong after the Korean film Big Deal, with coming roles in highly anticipated new seasons of the dramas Signal and Taxi Driver. Advertisement Speaking in a recent interview, Lee shared his thoughts on his latest work and his hopes for future projects that will resonate with viewers. Big Deal, which premiered on May 30, takes place during Korea's 1997 financial crisis, and centres on the clash between Jong-rok (played by Yoo Hae-jin), a finance executive for whom drinking soju is a way of life, and In-beom (Lee), a cold-blooded employee at a global investment firm. The two face off in a high-stakes struggle over the fate of Korea's beloved national spirit. Lee has been keeping up with audience reactions. 'I check reviews and ratings. I hope more people will watch and share their thoughts,' he said, emphasising that Big Deal is best experienced in cinemas for its immersive sound and big-screen energy. Advertisement 'I feel a deep happiness when I watch movies in the cinema,' he said. 'Sometimes I think, 'I want to be in a film like that', or 'How proud would I be to leave behind a filmography like that'? It motivates me to work harder.'

Why people love Hong Kong-style egg waffles and best places to eat them
Hong Kong-style egg waffles are one of the city's most beloved street snacks. Advertisement Called gai daan zai – 'little chicken eggs' – in Cantonese and also simply 'egg puffs' in English, these golden treats have been around in Hong Kong since the 1950s. Unlike Western waffles, which have a grid-like pattern, Hong Kong's egg waffles are covered in small oval-shaped bubbles, which may have inspired the name 'little eggs'. The batter is typically made with eggs, flour, sugar and evaporated milk. When cooked just right, the waffle has a thin, crispy layer on the outside and a deliciously contrasting soft and chewy texture inside, as well as little air pockets where the 'bubbles' are.
