Actor Koo Dong-hwan added another life character.
While the movie 'escape' (director Lee Jong-pil), which was released on the 3rd, topped the box office of the South Korean film on the first weekend of its release with a lively story, Koo Chang-hwan, who plays the role of the North Korean security officer 'Lee Hyun-sang', proved his potential with explosive enthusiasm. 'Departure' is a work about a life-threatening chase between Kyu-nam (Lee Je-hoon), a North Korean soldier who began to flee for tomorrow, and Kyu-nam to protect today.
In the movie 'escape', when Kyu-nam's escape, which he had known as a child, is discovered, the phenomenon rather wraps him up and puts him in a high position, forcing him to live in accordance with the given fate of a soldier. However, Kyu-nam tries to escape for his own goal, and the status quo relentlessly pursues him and begins an unstoppable chase. In the process, Koo Chang-hwan, while playing friendly with Kyu-nam, changed and overpowered him with a sharp look, and while listening to classical music leisurely, played the two sides of the phenomenon, which seemed to be urgent and delicate, with skillful strength and weakness control, to enhance the audience's immersion.
In addition, he drew curiosity by narrowly portraying the relationship between the once-close but hostile 'Gyunam' and the strange tension that shakes after meeting 'Sunwoomin' (Songgang), who knows the past of the phenomenon, making it impossible to take his eyes off. In addition, he expressed his endless dilemma in the reality of having to adapt to his dream of becoming a pianist with a gentle emotional line, conveying the message of support and deep lingering feelings to the audience to live his life at his will.
As such, Gu Dong-hwan led a breathless development by exerting an intense presence encompassing the entire play as a pursuit of a style not previously seen. From his first appearance, he used items such as hand cream and wet wipes to save the details of the characters, such as lip balm that fascinated the audience, and completed a three-dimensional character with an undefined charm through a rich psychological description that rejects the inner 'escape'. As a result, there is a lot of expectation for the future of Koo Chang-hwan, who builds up a variety of filmography with convincing character digestibility and sensuous sense.
Meanwhile, the movie 'escape', in which the hot performance of the old exchange gives catharsis to the audience this summer, is being screened in theaters across the country.
