[Edaily Starin, Reporter Gim Ga Yeong ] Actor Lee Tae-bin is making his presence felt through “Be My Guest: Check In to Love.”
Lee Tae-bin appeared in the short drama *Be My Guest: Check In to Love*, which was released in its entirety on the 20th via Resin Snack, playing the role of Yeon-jun, a staff member at the guesthouse “Neoru.” Lee Tae-bin anchored the entire drama with his nuanced portrayal that focused on the character’s inner world, demonstrating his solid acting skills by serving as the central pillar of the story even within the fast-paced nature of the streaming platform.
“Be My Guest” is based on the webtoon of the same name by writer T.O.B. and artist Youngmo. It is a youth romance that captures the excitement of a summer getaway, new encounters, and even a touch of mystery. In this production, Lee Tae-bin effectively conveyed the characters’ inner worlds and meticulously highlighted their psychological transformations, thereby enhancing the narrative density of the work even within its fast-paced flow.
In particular, Lee Tae-bin’s keen sense of genre balance proved effective as the story shifted from a youth romance to a mystery thriller. He flexibly adjusted his acting tone—from his thoughtfulness toward Momo (played by Go Hae-won) to his cold demeanor toward Ye-rin (played by Song Chae-yoon), who is obsessed with him, and his decisiveness in critical situations. Lee Tae-bin’s composed delivery stood out at every point where the emotional arc of the romance intersected with the suspense of the thriller.
In addition, Lee Tae-bin sweetly unfolded the deepening romantic narrative, perfectly capturing the atmosphere of a coming-of-age drama. He heightened the sense of excitement through his nuanced emotional performance, conveying everything from warm gazes, comfort, and affectionate smiles to kisses and direct confessions of love.
Lee Tae-bin maturely portrayed a story of mutual growth—where wounded characters transform through one another—and a narrative of redemption in youth. He revealed his character’s inner strength through scenes where he overcomes past trauma to take new steps forward and sincerely supports his partner’s dreams. Thanks to Lee Tae-bin’s passionate performance, “Be My Guest” has garnered significant attention, securing a spot in the top 12 of the popularity rankings immediately upon its release.
Lee Tae-bin, a former member of the group MYTEEN, began his acting career in earnest in 2019 with the role of Menzies in the play “Another Country.” He later made a name for himself as Lee Min-hyuk—the son of Lee Kyu-jin (played by Bong Tae-gyu) and Go Sang-ah (played by Yoon Joo-hee)—in writer Kim Soon-ok’s “Penthouse.” Since then, he has been broadening his acting range through appearances in shows such as “Delivery” and “The Zone of Love.”
Meanwhile, “Be My Guest: Check In to Love,” starring Lee Tae-bin, is available on ReginSnack.
