Yoo Jae-myung recently met Sports Chosun at a cafe in Samcheong-dong, Jongno-gu, Seoul, saying, `After I started acting, I came across a good piece called Reply 1988 when I felt most at a loss.'
Recalling his days of obscurity, Yoo Jae-myung thought he wanted to quit acting when he was not well known to the world for a long time as an actor. When I came to Seoul, I was at a loss even though I worked on my profile and turned it around, and I felt frustrated that there was no exit like the title of the work 'No Way Out'. After experiencing burnout symptoms, I had an impulsive idea that I wanted to do a `new start' rather than `run`````````````````````````````````.
He talked about the work that became a turning point in his acting life. Yoo Jae-myung said, "'Reply 1988' was a drama that the whole nation loved. I can't remember, but when I think back to the time of shooting, my house didn't have an internal set, and only my name was written on the gate. Originally, it was a role that appeared up to eight parts and fell in the middle, but it seems that the writers and seniors decided that they could build up the actor Yoo Jae-myung as 'Dongryong's father'. After that, I had a wife that I didn't have, and I had a family, so I filmed up to part 18. Then I never imagined I'd do 'Secret Forest'. It was a character that contradicted his previous work 'Reply 1988' and 'Wook's Nam Jung-ki', and thankfully, many people helped him.'
Then, in "'Itaewon Class', he did not originally play the role of the father-in-law, but he appeared for the fourth time as a father. But I first suggested to the director that I could do well as the eldest son. The director was not thinking about it at all, but I was in a hurry to dress up and actually took on the role, he said in a behind-the-scenes story.
Meanwhile, Disney+, U+Mobile TV 'No Way Out: The Roulette' is a drama about a fierce battle between humans without an exit as 20 billion won of open murder takes place in the life of Kim Kook-ho, a rare felon. The movie was directed by Choi Kook-hee and Lee Hu-bin, who was the assistant director of the movie Hit-and-Ban, and was written by Lee Soo-jin. From the 31st of last month, two episodes will be released every Wednesday.
