Now let's take you from the perspective of the audience to reminisce about these 10 classic film dramas starring Lee Jeong-jae!
Lee Jeong-jae's debut work "Young Man", the story tells that the part-time model "Han" (Lee Jeong-jae) who is suspended from school in order to become a big star, he uses a rich woman to ascend to the throne, and circling between women of different personalities and the use of different brokerage companies, a sense of disorientation, even with the help of the noblewoman "Shenghui", the sun room director of the unscrupulous brokerage company is still unwilling to terminate the contract, Han kills the sun room chief and abandons the body for the sake of future and pleasure, misguided Han gradually steps towards death and tragedy. Lee Jeong-jae won the Newcomer Award of Korea's three major film and television awards for this role at that time, interpreting Han's debauched and insensitive appearance with natural acting skills, bringing out the confused problems that teenagers will always encounter when they grow up, and it is a profound and realistic film
The plot of "Untouchable Lovers" tells the story of a man and a woman in two time and space, because of a mysterious mailbox pulled by a bitter love. Han Seung-hyun (Lee Jeong-jae) moves into a seaside cottage far from the hustle and bustle, and in the mailbox finds a letter signed by Grace letter from two years later, and he half-heartedly writes back to the sender Eun Shu, who claims to be a former tenant, and opens the exchange of letters between the two. After that, Xingxian gradually fell in love with the future Eun Shu, but the encounter between yin and yang made the two never see each other, which made the audience deeply feel unwilling for Xingxian's piece of sincerity, and also felt sorry for the love created by this regret.
With the ugly and distorted mentality of the upper class portrayed in the erotic film, this film is also the largest scale performance of Lee Jeong-jae since the film, and the passionate drama of the affair entangled with Quan Daohui. Eun Seol (Jeon Do-jae), who is simple by nature, enters the mansion as a maid and nanny due to fate, but has an intimate relationship with the male protagonist, Ko Hoon (Lee Jung-jae), and the infidelity affects the family's imminent wife, young daughter, and old housekeeper who is working hard. Lee Jeong-jae is no longer a gentle and amorous love boy, but a cold-blooded and arrogant gold male protagonist, this film is not only attracted much attention because of its entry into the Cannes Film Festival, but also a turning point for Lee Jeong-jae to change the past romantic love drama, the whole film is full of strong erotic style and suspense of each pregnant ghost fetus, and the super-restrictive nudity shapes the Korean film classic.
"Guanzong" is based on the Korean historical event "癸酉靖難", which depicts the story of three emperors, Moonjong, Duanzong, and then the crown prince of Shouyang (Lee Jeong-jae). After Emperor Wenzong's unexpected death, his brother the Prince of Shouyang succeeded to the throne on his own and attempted to murder the crown prince, and Lai Jing (Song Kanghao), a guanshi who has the talent for interpreting faces, in order to be loyal to the old lord, will use his miraculous guan xiang prophecy ability to try to reverse the fate of the dynasty. The Shouyang Maharajah played by Lee Jeong-jae is full of momentum as soon as he appears, confident and domineering, rude, ambitious, and ruthless, he interprets the bully behavior of the Shouyang Maharajah to the slightest detail, showing the "counter-conspiracy" in the mouth of the Guan Xiangshi, which is also the first time he has singled out the villain of the movie, but unexpectedly won the unanimous praise of the audience!
Lee Jeong-jae and popular actress Jeon Ji-hyun cooperated for the second time in the movie "Assassination" The story stage is in 1933 shanghai, the period when Japanese imperialism spread to East Asian countries, telling the story of members of the Chinese Independence Army joining hands with Korean temporary politicians and professional killers to form an assassination force to kill pro-Japanese officials, of which the protagonist Lee Jeong-jae plays a dual-identity temporary government agent, and is the head of the assassination force behind the scenes, With Jeon Ji-hyun as the chief captain, and another powerful actor, Ha Jeong-woo, is a professional killer, and the three are strong. Lee Jeong-jae needs to play the role from 20 years old to 60 years old, through the political transformation and identity of the double pull, he deliberately lost 15Kg, did not sleep for two days, with the limit state of the body to show the sensitivity and uneasiness of the characters, the film constantly brings dramatic performances, but also the core character who creates a tense atmosphere for the film.
After the Shouyang army of "Spectator", Lee Jeong-jae once again challenged the villain "King of Yan Luo" who sat in the underworld and presided over the judgment of sins in "Walking with God", and his long-haired beard appearance and domineering spirit in the film intimidated people's hearts, and in the sequel, he not only became heavier, but the film also emphasized the portrayal of Yama's meticulous mind and then brought out the reincarnation of cause and effect and crime and punishment, etc., but he was obviously a very majestic king of hell, and Lee Jeong-jae was laughed at by Ha Zhengyu, who was an actor in the same movie after putting on a wig: He had a very pure feeling when he wore a wig, so we all called him "Sister of the King of Yanluo."" An interesting contrast to Yama's personality.
The Korean religious thriller film "Shu Po Ha" tells the story of "Pastor Park", played by Lee Jung-jae, who found the body of a schoolgirl who died in an unusual way in a tunnel, and began to investigate the incident's origins with the local mysterious religious group, triggering a series of subsequent suspicions. The film blends elements of traditional Buddhism, shamanism, heretical cults, etc., and the various metaphorical hints on the scriptures and murals make the plot direction more unpredictable, asking the audience to unravel the puzzle and expose the evil forces hidden behind the religion as Pastor Park peels back the cocoon, while immersing themselves in a chilling atmosphere.
"Auxiliary Officer" is Lee Jeong-jae's return to the small screen for 10 years, with the staff assistant officials behind the members of Congress as the protagonist of the story, which is completely opposite to the long-haired and extravagant image of the King of Yanluo, in the first season, Lee Jeong-jae combed his oil head and entered the Parliament in a suit to serve as a gold assistant assistant officer with a strong desire to win or lose, full of political strength to help the weak and the poor, and change the world, always making the impossible possible. In the sequel, he also successfully became a member of Parliament, but the politics and sacrifices to face in this position are even greater, but even if he hits the stone with a pebble, he has not given up, so that the audience can see the blood boiling and move his indestructible faith in justice.
After watching the role played by Lee Jung-jae introduced earlier, handsome, domineering, romantic and golden, good and evil, and then look at the down-and-out uncle Cheng Qixun he played in "Squid Game", do you feel a little too wronged by him? This is indeed the first time that Lee Jung-jae has figured out the role of being overwhelmed by gambling debts and usury, but trying to become a good father for his daughter. Playing what it is like, Lee Jung-jae shows Cheng Qixun's optimistic and simple personality and lu snake's mood of work and marriage frustration to be impressive, which has created the reason why the squid game is still widely discussed in countries around the world.
I believe that no matter what role Lee Jeong-jae still wants to challenge in the future, the solid drama foundation of these 25 years can make the audience once again be shocked by his superb acting skills when entering the theater or watching it with a device, and reshuffle the image of "Lee Jeong-jae" in his mind!
