Do you remember Lee Hyo-ri, one of South Korea's top female artists who once became popular throughout Asia? In a high-scoring Korean film in 2018, The Spy Gone North, the female artist who has faded from the Korean entertainment industry for many years made a cameo appearance in a very special role.
The role is so small that there is only one line, but it is extremely impressive. The reason is that Li Xiaoli played himself 13 years ago in the movie "Agent", and at the same time let people recall a past event of that year again through this movie.
The North and the South have made many friendly moves to ease relations, and the most impressive thing is that the north and south of the latest PyeongChang Winter Olympics have joined hands to enter the world. Another sensational event of the year is recreated in the film, when North and South collaborated on an advertisement for the first time in 2005 history. Remember the Samsung Anycall phone that was all the rage back then?
Lee Hyo-ri, who dyed his hair blonde in the ad, and Cho Ming-ae, a famous North Korean actor dressed in traditional costumes, starred in a touching short film. Although the appearance and temperament of the two are very different, it is touching to show their friendliness and kindness to each other together.
The film cleverly blends this famous historical event into a secret agent film. The agent played by South Korean first-line actor Hwang Jung-min took advantage of the opportunity to shoot advertisements to count the north, although it finally backfired due to various complicated reasons, but unexpectedly single-handedly contributed to this historic cooperation.
The movie "Agent" was nominated for best picture at the 2018 Korean Film Blue Dragon Awards, and in the film, Hwang Jeong-min's excellent acting skills, telling the complex emotions of a secret agent in danger, were vividly expressed, and won the 2018 Korean Film Dajong Award for Best Actor.
And Zhu Jixun, who played the villain role in the movie, is the male protagonist of the Korean drama "Palace", which was popular throughout Asia that year, and it is another memory that makes people sigh.
The handsome "prince" who wears a conservative North Korean uniform is also so stylish and stylish, and can make people play at any time.
13 years later, The face of Lee Hyo-ri in the movie is still not old, which reminds many people of the green years of pursuing the Hallyu. It is a pity that the film failed to invite the North Korean actor Cho Ming-ae, who was cooperating that year, otherwise it would be a more sensational historical event.
