As we all know, Korean films benefit from the classification system and relaxed censorship, greatly exert creative freedom, and after more than 20 years of development, they have become the top in Asia, and even a regular guest of various international film festivals. In addition to the role of directors and screenwriters, a large number of Korean top actors have also made great efforts to carefully interpret a variety of different types of roles, of course, both positive and negative roles are equally wonderful. Today the editor will take stock of a wave of negative characters played by Korean male stars to see if there is anything you particularly appreciate.
1. Zhang Dongjian "Typhoon"
2005 Action blockbuster "Typhoon"
In 2005, South Korean director Guo Jingze directed a north-south themed action film "Typhoon", inviting Lee Jung-jae, Jang Dong-kin and Lee Mi-yeon to co-star, the film has a huge investment, to Thailand, Russia and other places to shoot, and strive to enter the international market. The handsome guy Zhang Dongjian changed his sunny image in the past and played the role of a tragic pirate, which should be his only negative role so far.
Zhang Dongjian Pirate image
Zhang Dongjian presents the audience with the image of a pirate with a head spreading, a face full of knife scars, and bloodshot eyes. His family was abandoned by the two Koreas, his siblings were separated for many years, his inner pain was beyond words, and revenge and hatred became the only driving force for his life. Although he eventually gave up revenge, the cry of pain before his death was impressive. Unfortunately, the film was born at an untimely time, and lost to Lee Joon-ki's "King's Man" at the Korean Grand Bell Awards the following year, which was laughed by the media at the time as "Scarface is no match for neutral beauty." ”
2. Zheng Yusheng "Top Secret Tracking"
Top Secret Tracking
Remade from the Hong Kong film "Tracking", starring Xue Jingqiu , Zheng Yusheng, and this time the handsome Zheng Yusheng really played the villain once, reproducing the robber leader played by Leung Ka-fai in the original work. On the surface, Sven looks like an office worker, but in fact, he has a superior IQ, fights wits and courage with the police, and plans three robberies in succession.
Zheng Yusheng The leader of the robbers
Zheng Yusheng also changed the calm and calm image of the student in the previous "Sword Rain", and acted resolutely and cleanly, showing the character's fierce and fierce and cruel character to the fullest. But even if he acts as a villain, he still can't stop being handsome and forceful, and he looks very much like Tom on the side, and the director specially added a lot of scenes for him, including the bridge where he found his teacher to take revenge at the end, the heads-up in the narrow alley, and the quick solution to the battle without dragging mud and water, which is very similar to the taste of old Hong Kong films.
3. Ha Jung-woo "The Chaser" + "War with Criminals"
Ha Jung-woo starring in "The Chaser" and "War with Criminals"
In 2008, director Luo Hongyi filmed his first feature film "The Chaser", the film is very deep, the surface tells the story of a series of call girls killed, "pimps" unremitting efforts to pursue the murderer, but in fact, the spearhead is directly pointed at the incompetence and corruption of the entire judicial and administrative organs, on the contrary, a despised "pimp" has become the hardest working and most emotional person.
Ha Jung-woo as a perverted murderer
The movie starring Ha Jung-woo and Kim Yoon-seok, in the film Ha Jeong-woo plays a perverted murderer, who looks like a big boy next door, but is actually a murderous and tyrannical demon, and has a split personality, sometimes showing helplessness and pitiful, sometimes showing cruelty and insidiousness. His wonderful performance in the film earned him a nomination for Best Actor at the 3rd Asian Film Awards.
Ha Jung-woo as Gangster Boss
In 2012, Ha Jung-woo starred in "War with Criminals" directed by Yoon Jong-bin, partnering with powerful actor Choi Min-sik, interpreting a Korean gangster history in the 80s. The movie is full of retro sense, the plot is linked, there are no eternal comrades-in-arms, only dirty interests, which can be called a commercial model of Korean-style gangster films.
Ha Jung-woo as Choi Kyung-pei, the underworld brother People don't talk much
In the film, Ha Zhengyu once again plays the villain Cui Jiongpei, the underworld brother, with a strong aura, no smiling, ruthless and ruthless, not afraid of causing trouble at all, and interprets Cui Jiongpei, the boss who has been beaten all the way, to the fullest, becoming the most outstanding highlight in the film.
4. Kim Yunshi's "Yellow Sea" + "Lao Qian" series
Jin Yunshi "Yellow Sea" and "Lao Qian"
In 2010, Luo Hongyi took the old team of "The Chaser" to attack again, shooting a shocking and violent crime film "Yellow Sea", the film set pursues realism, the soundtrack art details are full of effort, a large number of shaking broken shots are full of movement, with a cold perspective, in the tragic bloody violence, all the way to the end. The tone is always gray, symbolizing the desperate mood of the protagonist in the film, without warmth and emotion, only endless desolation.
Jin Yunshi's "Lao Mian" is bursting with combat effectiveness
Contrary to "The Chaser", this time Jin Yunshi plays the big villain, the black boss in Yanbian City "Mianzhenghe", an absolute ruthless man, rough and fierce, and will not stop if he does not achieve his goal, one moment the big ox bone just killed many people, the next second the axe dagger was dull into the flesh, the eyes were full of ruthlessness, the whole process was fierce and abnormal combat effectiveness, and the momentum was extraordinary, known as the "Yanbian God of War".
Kim Yoon-seok "A ghost" is domineering and arrogant
In 2006, Choi Dong-hoon filmed the gambling film "Lao Qian", and Kim Yun-seok played one of the three major gambling kings in the film "A Ghost", although there are not many scenes overall, but he is a complete villain. Whether talking or walking, his gestures are full of domineering, his eyes reveal arrogance and arrogance, and his aura is close to the protagonist Gao Ni. Of course, in the end, he lost in overconfidence and was cut off a hand at the gambling table.
5. Choi Min-shik "Seeing the Devil"
Choi Min-sik, "Seeing the Devil"
In 2010, director Jin Zhiyun filmed a black crime film "See the Devil", the director famous for making horror films made this film extremely violent and cruel, and the psychological shadow is far better than horror films after watching it. Although the rhythm, soundtrack and action scenes are all in one go, and several duel scenes are also extremely exciting, it still makes people feel yin and windy, and there is a cold to the bone. The biggest credit for this is that the perverted killer played by Choi Min-shik is too outstanding.
Choi Min-shik as "Devil"
The murderous maniac played by Choi Min-shik has been killing non-stop from the beginning, holding a blunt instrument as if he is just chopping melons and vegetables, pure violent catharsis, but without any expression, interpreting a complete demon as evil and terrifying. At the end of the film, Cui Minzhi stands at the intersection in blood like a beast, holding a knife and smiling while surrendering, and his strange expression is impressive.
6. Huang Zhengmin "Sweet Life"
Huang Zhengmin, "Sweet Life"
Another crime action film directed by Kim Ji-woon, full of Korean-style violent aesthetics, knives, torches, hand-to-hand combat, group picking, pistol fighting, machine gun sweeping, everything! The first half exudes a charming elegance in addition to brutality, and the second half is basically ruthless revenge and escape, just watching the action scenes is very enjoyable! In addition to the protagonist Lee Byung-heon who focuses on many eyes, Huang Jungmin, who plays the villain, is also wonderful.
Huang Zhengmin as "Pei Dong"
In the play, Huang Jungmin plays a gang leader "Pei Dong", because his subordinates were beaten up by Seonwoo played by Lee Bingxian, and since then he has held a grudge with Sunwoo. Huang Zhengmin's calm and natural performance shows this villain with a scar at the corner of his mouth, cruel and sinister and cunning to the fullest, especially the obscene appearance of the black hand stabbing in the ice rink and the pitiful appearance of fear of death and greed, providing the audience with a highlight of the performance.
7. Liu Yaren "Old Hand"
2015 "Veteran"
Filmed in 2015, the crime action film "Old Hand", starring Huang Zhengmin and Liu Yaren, mainly describes the story of the criminal police chasing criminals, although it is similar to the plot of many Hong Kong films, but it is full of clever tandem, and the main line and branches magically merge into interlocking cases in the end. The camera editing is clean and neat, the fights are fierce and comedic, and the actors' performances are full of personality, especially the rich second generation played by Liu Yaren is so bad that people grit their teeth.
Liu Yaren as "Rich Second Generation"
Liu Yaren plays a chaebol of three generations, a large number of traitors, when the driver came to him to ask for the salary arrears, he beat him to death, broke the sparring partner's leg in boxing with someone, and despised everything with money and power. Pinching people's throats at every turn, habitually hitting people, simply put, is a mad dog, see who bites whom. Especially the scene of intimidating children in the office is really shocking and makes people grit their teeth with hatred. Even if he was finally arrested, he still held his head high and the corners of his mouth were uninhibited, and there seemed to be a hint of provocation and a smile between his eyebrows. I have to admire the outstanding performance skills of Liu Yaren Qinglong Award actor.
8. Lee Jung-jae "Guan Xiang" and "Save Me in Evil"
2013 "Guanxiang"
Lee Jung-jae is introduced at the end because he has been debuting for nearly 30 years, he has played too many villains, basically the performance of each film has changed, and he can be competent for different types of roles with great contrasts, interpreting different images according to character positioning, and they are very appropriate and natural, and they are truly integrated with the characters, rather than simply and bluntly performed.
Lee Jung-jae as "Shouyang Maharajah"
In 2013, two of his films were released, namely "Guan Xiang" and "New World", and the domineering appearance of the ambition of the wolf son of the Shouyang Maharaja and Li Zicheng's calculated forbearance formed a strong contrast. The first half of the movie is relatively bland, but when Lee Jung-jae's Shouyangjun appeared, a cold breath came to his face, what is called eagle and wolf Gu, what is called the appearance of chaotic subjects and thieves, it is Lee Jung-jae. Although he is a traitor who does bad things, he is full of charm, ambition, and a generation of traitors who are alive.
2020 "Save Me in Evil"
In 2020, Huang Jungmin and Lee Jung-jae joined forces again after "New World" and staged a story of a killer's pursuit of agents, Lee Jung-jae changed his elegant image in the past as the killer Ray, simply possessed by a god, took turns with unarmed weapons, and launched a bloody battle with Huang Jungmin, with explosive force value and explosive the whole process.
Lee Jung-jae as Ray the killer
The killer Ray in the play has a flamboyant personality, and the shape is a neck tattoo and a leopard-print shirt, but it is such a fancy dress that makes Lee Jung-jae wear a different taste, and sure enough, various characters are casually controlled. In addition, it is reported that the movie "Save Me from Evil" has been confirmed to produce a side drama series "Ray the Killer", which will tell the life story of the Korean killer "Ray" played by Lee Jung-jae and the duel between him and the target he hunted down, and is expected to start production next year.
