Actor Lee Joon Ki (39 years old) once again showed his desire to "play love" with Wen Caiyuan.
In 2001, Lee Joon-ki's first life work as a model for clothing brand advertising was Lee Joon-yee's film The King's Man (2005). Lee Joon Ki broke through the 1000-1 competition rate, and as a women's clothing artist Kong Ji, he determined to star in the TV series "My Girl" broadcast at the same time, hit the home run continuously, and won super popularity with "Men More Beautiful Than Women". Since then, Lee Joon Ki has continued to follow the path of "top star", and in 2007, he attracted attention with the movie "Gorgeous Vacation", and left behind the famous work of the gangster TV series "Dog and Wolf Time", which won the applause of the audience. This was followed by "One Branch plum" (2008), "A Niang's Messenger" (2012), "Two Weeks" (2013), "North Korean Sharpshooter" (2014), "Nocturnal Scholar" (2015), "Moon Lovers - Step by Step Thrilling" (2016), "Criminal Psychology" (2017), "Lawless Lawyer" (2018).
The 23rd final tvN Mizuki drama "The Flower of Evil" (written by Lau Jing-hee and directed by Kim Chul-gyu) is another life work by Lee Joon-ki after "The King's Man" and "Time for dogs and wolves". "The Flower of Evil" is a man who even acts love and a wife who begins to doubt his true identity. In the TV series "The Flower of Evil", Lee Joon Ki played Baek Hee Sung's life man Hyun Soo, showing his emotional acting skills. In particular, "The Flower of Evil" ended perfectly until the end, receiving praise from the "Dragon Tail TV Series", and after starting with a rating of 3% in the initial stage, the last episode rose sharply with 5.7% and ended successfully.
On the 28th, Lee Joon-ki conducted a final interview through South Korean media. Lee Joon Ki and Moon Cai Won met again after 3 years after tvN's "Criminal Psychology" broadcast in 2017. Criminal Psychology didn't do well at the time, so their reunion was somewhat burdensome. Recalling his reunion with Moon Caiyuan, Lee Joon Ki said: "The first time I read the script of "The Flower of Evil", I thought of 'this work is not a work that I can afford now'. He constantly throws questions at himself: "Is it appropriate for the current actor Lee Joon Ki to photograph a father who loves his daughter, a husband who only looks at his wife, and a man with a sad and cruel past hidden in the depths of all his heart?" Before choosing this work, I had asked too many troubles, such as 'can I really convince the public' and 'whether the actor Lee Joon-ki's colors will be strongly rendered and cause the overall balance to collapse'. "
Fortunately, I had 2 weeks to continue reading the script and drawing in my head. Then it occurred to me, 'Isn't all this the same work as the fate that is now coming to me?' I seemed to have a desire to turn this work into a turning point in the actor's life. Before she began to create with Wen Caiyuan, she had said that "if we can create this work well, we can interpret the new theme of suspenseful love drama with a unique emotional line", which further confirmed the decision to star in the work. "
Lee Joon Ki is familiar with the audience's regretful desire for a romantic collaboration with Moon Cai Yuan. He said: "The love drama power that Wen Caiyuan has is different. Sometimes it's really cute and inseparable, and sometimes it's sad and sad. Therefore, I am looking forward to the acting skills of the two together, so I have a strong desire to try to play a love plot with Caiyuan from the beginning. Thanks to the love drama created together through this work. But what if you shoot more of your daily routine, which is as trivial and happy as when you're in love? Because the proportion of love dramas that are too deep is very large", "but the cooperation of the love dramas produced together makes me very satisfied." I think it's a combination of acting that complements each other. "
Director Kim Chul-gyu and writer Yoo Kyung-hee are also the protagonists of the production of "The Flower of Evil". For director Kim Chul-gyu, Lee Joon-ki said: "The director is the most thankful person in this work. He wrote down the character of Du Hyun-so, who believes in me completely and has lived a life of Bai Xi, and always gives milestones in the long journey. Because I had a lot of trouble before I came to shoot the script, I helped a lot when acting. Relying on the director without any doubt, he can concentrate on the work", "Because he has a gentlemanly, warm character, I think there should be such an honest and excellent crew to accompany him." The director can successfully complete the work, and the director is indispensable. Several works, as long as they make suggestions, want to continue to cooperate with the director."
In addition, for the writer Liu Jingxi, Lee Joon Ki said: "We have met since the preparation of the TV series shooting, and we have talked a lot. It is really a kind explanation of the foreshadowing or emotional lines that each god has, which helps to shape the image of the character. I feel a great love for the work from the writer, and I also want to repay everyone with very good acting skills. I sincerely thank the writers for trusting me completely and allowing me to live through the character of Du Hyun-so. On the day of the final shooting, I said, 'Thank you for portraying Du Hyun So perfectly' and I said 'No', thank you for making me Du Hyun So. "It was a real excitement at the time."
Is it because of the TV series "Dragon's Tail"? After the end of the TV series, the afterglow of the work between the actors can also be long-lived. Lee Joon Ki said: "After watching the TV series, I said 'it's really difficult'. In fact, if you want to draw it simply, you will fill it with the technology you have anyway, but "Flower of Evil" is not such a crude work. Therefore, before entering the work, the actors meet each other, communicate with each other about the roles they think of, and continue to share their feelings about the work. After the shooting began, the most talked about topic was "the more I read, the deeper I thought, the more I shot, the new feelings I had, and I was very distressed about how to convey this meaning." It's true that all actors have had a lot of distress in their performance of their respective roles. Even today, at the end of the work, our chat group still has the saying,' Did we perform such a difficult work? ''What a blessing'.
Lee Joon Ki will discuss his next work after "The Flower of Evil" is over.
