Korean Drama "Coffee Prince No. 1 Store"
Movie "To the End"
Korean Drama "My Uncle"
Last Thursday, tvN Mizuki drama "My Uncle" officially ended. The highest-rated work tells the story of a 40-year-old man and a 20-year-old woman with the same heavy burden of life, observing each other and healing each other. Lee Sun-kyun, a South Korean actor who plays the male protagonist in the play, has received a lot of praise and praise for his perfect interpretation of the reclusive and warm uncle "Park Dong-hoon".
From the gentle and amorous musician "Choi Han Sung" in the Korean drama "Coffee Prince No. 1 Shop", to the roaring chef "Choi Hyun Wook" in "Pasta", to the president of the cosmetics company "Kim Heng Joon" in "Miss Korea", Lee Sun-kyun is always able to digest all kinds of delicate acting skills and express the fluctuations of inner emotions. On the big screen, the role of the policeman "Ko Jian-so" in the movie "To the End" made him nominated for the best actor at the 35th Korean Film Blue Dragon Awards and the best actor award in the film category of the 51st Korean Baeksang Arts Awards.
The exaggerated performance in front of the camera made me very uncomfortable
In 1993, the Ministry of Sports and Tourism of Korea established a four-year national art university, the National University of the Arts. The following year, Lee Sun-kyun entered the school as one of the first drama school students. During his school days, he began to appear in plays and musicals, and in the musical "Rocky Horror Show", he successfully qualified as the protagonist Brad, and his smooth acting skills began to attract attention. However, many years later, Li Shanjun confessed that starring in musicals was actually not the direction he wanted to go, "When I was a newcomer, I was exposed to such an opportunity, although I felt very grateful and happy, but it was very different from my personality." ”
Li Shanjun is a slow-hot actor. In November 2001, he officially debuted in the MBC weekly sitcom "Lovers", but because he always needed to show an exaggerated expression in front of the camera, he was very uncomfortable.
Five years later, he ushered in a very important year for his film career, in the movie "The Customer is king", Lee Sun-kyun appeared in front of the audience as a "solver" who chewed gum all the time, had a mean smile on his face, and looked more like a troublemaker; in "Cruel Work", he played a young man who was essentially simple, but because of the high debt, he plotted to kidnap, and finally the trouble was like a snowball rolling bigger and bigger, forcing himself to be desperate. It is these two works that make more people remember the name "Li Shanjun".
Starring in "The White Tower" always felt stage fright
In 2007, Lee Sun-kyun not only played on the same stage with Oh Man-seok and Yoo Deok-hwan, co-starring in the film "Our Community", but also appeared in two popular Korean dramas "White Tower" and "Coffee Prince No. 1 Shop", and in 2010, he provoked the beam in the TV series "Pasta" and played the role of "Grumpy Chef" Choi Hyun-wook. These three Korean dramas have almost become Lee Sun-kyun's "life works", but for him personally, starring in TV dramas always has a lot of trouble.
Li Shanjun admitted that he was not very accustomed to the shooting rhythm of TV series, and he was always not like his peers who were good at shooting TV series, he could enter the role in an instant, "The character in "White Tower" is very different from the real me. During that period, the public opinion around me misunderstood me and told me not to pretend to be kind with my acting skills, and my pressure was really great. And I hadn't had the experience of performing with so many of my seniors before, so I felt a little stage-intimidated when I was acting on this show. ”
Now, eleven years later, Lee Sun-kyun has changed from a young actor to a "senior". But his worries about starring in the TV series still haven't stopped, "This time it's because I'm a fan of director Kim Won-seok, so I took "My Uncle". After that, I wanted to take a break and think about my position. ”
Husbands and wives get along like the ruling party and the opposition party
On May 23, 2009, Lee Sun-kyun and South Korean actress Jeon Hye-jin ended their seven-year love run and held a wedding ceremony. On the first day of Pasta, their eldest son was born, and after that, the two welcomed a second son.
For marriage, Li Shandu has his own set of philosophies - he believes that husband and wife are like the ruling party and the opposition party, "she is more like the ruling party, holding all the political power." In one show, Li Shanjun laughed and said, "Although I have a passbook with my name written on it, the online banking and password card are in the hands of my wife." But whether it's child-rearing or family happiness, the talk between the ruling party and the opposition party is for the same purpose. While there will certainly be disagreements, we definitely don't want to be apart... But the regime must strive to get it back. ”
In variety shows, Li Shanjun always shows funny charm, resulting in every recording, the wife will be worried at home, but this still can't stop the husband's integrity. When recording "Please, Please, The Refrigerator", Li Shanjun broke the news that his wife specially ran to the big supermarket in Jiangnan two days before the recording to replenish, and also bought a variety of labels to summarize clearly, just so as not to lose to the friends who recorded it before. Quan Huizhen also laughed and complained to her husband: "We have two sons, but he is like the third son of my family," but then added, "But when I do housework at home, he always shouts to me, you stay there quietly, don't move." ”
Tips
The voice line was too sue to make him inferior
In addition to the role, Lee Sun-kyun was born with his own "sound Su" - he is one of the earliest "cave sound (referring to stereo sound) emperors" in the hearts of Korean audiences, and the unique bass and heroic laughter have made many people recognize his name when they hear it. But as everyone knows, he is not proud of it. In the movie "Mei Yu", he played Ren Shangxun, a character with flaws in his heart, and when asked where he felt flawed, Li Shanjun said that in fact, he was very inferior to his voice, and he also limited his performance because of his voice - for example, some people felt that he was not like a gangster in "Mei Yu" because of his voice problems.
The uncle who is called will only think of eating
Li Shanjun, who had just celebrated his 43rd birthday not long ago, when asked whether he was "brother" or "uncle" now, he laughed and said: "I am completely an uncle, and after passing the period of uncle denial, I have fully accepted this title." Now even if you call me 'brother', your mood will not be good. "As for when did you feel like an uncle?" If someone calls me 'brother' when I'm single, I think, what do I have to do? After becoming an uncle, what will I just want to eat? ”
