In the samples of Asia, the Americas, Europe, the Middle East and Africa, Lee Min-ho ranked first.
In particular, Lee Min-ho has been ranked first for three consecutive years!
Lee Min-ho has become a Top Korean actor loved by fans around the world, and it is not easy to wear this crown
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="3" >#并非一夜成名, but a persistent effort#</h1>
Many people have noticed #Lee Min-ho from "Fancy Man". A drama that has become popular all over Asia, from an obscure little star to a K-pop superstar, so many reports have used the term "overnight fame". But this success was not easy to come by, and it was exchanged for several years of unsung patience and hard work.
In 2003, a flashback shot of a dragon suit in Yulin's Growth Diary recorded his first appearance on the screen. In 2005, Lee Min-ho played a simple restaurant waiter role in "Love Dinner Song", walking from one end of the restaurant to the other, and after the episode aired, he himself felt that it was a "short play that could not be felt at all". Because he is an insignificant actor, he also has the experience of being ignored. Once he went to participate in the filming of the TV series, because he waited too long and accidentally fell asleep, he woke up and found that it was already twelve o'clock, and there was no one on the shooting scene, it was difficult to find the staff to ask about it, and only then did he know that the shooting was over. He said: Ah, it turns out that I played such a dispensable role. Many roles are improvised by the director, and they have to endure and rest. Perhaps it is young and young, many performances are not satisfactory in some places, and even a director once said to him so dismissively: Lee Min-ho is impossible for this person to be popular. But he was not discouraged, not discouraged, or silently himself. He said to himself: Try to be a good actor. He worked silently in the show business circle, and even small roles did not count gains and losses, and tried his best to act.
Heaven rewards hard work, and opportunities are given to those who are prepared. These words are very simple, but there are not many people who really understand and can do it, Lee Min-ho has done so, since then, in addition to the time for sleeping and eating, the rest of the time has been used to hone his acting skills, every day is more than 14 hours, some people have calculated that by the time he became famous, the acting practice has exceeded 20,000 hours.

In 2006, Lee Min-ho, Ding Yiyu and their friends went out together, but unfortunately suffered a car accident. The friend died, and he and Ding Yiyu were seriously injured. The car accident caused Lee Min-ho's ankles, knees, thighs and multiple fractures, his face was also bruised, his ankle bone was diagnosed as a crushing fracture, he had to be assisted by nail fixation, and his right thigh was implanted with a 46cm steel plate, and he had to temporarily leave the screen for a year for rehabilitation treatment, so the original plan to appear in "Funny Family" was in vain. When the drama was popular, it should be his most sad time, it was difficult to receive a role that could say a lot of lines and appear in the camera, and his acting career had just begun, but he could only lie in the hospital and do nothing.
20 years old, the most hopeful and dreamy age, but facing such a change, suffering from the double blow of body and soul, not to mention that the future of acting may be buried, even walking in the future may become a problem, even if not in it, you can also experience the pain in his heart. Although the car accident caused Lee Min-ho to fall into the trough of his life, he did not give up, or held an optimistic attitude, "if you fall, then get up again" has always held such an idea. He made a new thinking about himself and personnel, and the thinking during this time made him stronger, more calm, more open-minded, and he took survival as a gift from God, as a new starting point, and worked hard to start a new life. The car accident knocked him off the original track, but it also became the cornerstone of his inability to persevere silently.
Speaking of that car accident, it also left him with a lot of car accident sequelae, his hands would tremble unconsciously, sometimes he would have back pain, and his right leg could not be struggled. When mentioned in the reporter's interview, he smiled and said that he could predict the weather like a grandmother, and it was very easy to say, but only he himself knew the taste best. In the face of the public, always show the brightest, warmest smile, pain, exhaustion, hardship to bear themselves. The car accident brought him not only sequelae, but also a strong heart, if it were not for this car accident, perhaps there would be no current pampering, in the face of success and slander. Therefore, he knows more about cherishing, being grateful, cherishing everything he has today, and being grateful for everything he has achieved today. Laughing at life, treating all the pain and heartache as an experience for yourself.

I felt that I really wanted to act, and after I was discharged from the hospital, I tried to dance and shoot CF with inconvenient legs, but because of the company's reasons, I suffered the misfortune of not being able to play it. Finally, in 2007, he ushered in the first TV series "Run, Mackerel", because he wanted to play the role of a soccer player who had been running, but his legs had always been in a state of pain, so he took analgesics during filming and insisted on shooting, endured severe pain, and filmed the footage of playing football from morning to night. Zhang representative of his company said he was a very strong child. Indeed, Lee Min-ho is a person who fights for his life when he has a goal. In each episode, he did his best to star and even sometimes wore women's clothes, and the dirty river did not hesitate to jump down, and then came out of the river and no one cared about it. The show paid a lot, but in the end it encountered a dismal ending of only 8 episodes of the 16-episode drama.
Life is long, if you want to shine, you must go through this kind of struggle and torture.
Later, in "I Am a Teacher", Lee Min-ho played the handsome and intelligent Xu Maoshi, who was never dumped by a girl once, but was rejected by the daughter of the underworld boss Eun Xing and fell into panic after being rejected. In addition, he also starred in a one-act play of MBC [although I don't understand it], Lee Min-ho skillfully showed his non-revealing acting skills, but also showed everyone another side of him. However, the roles played in these two TV series are rebellious and somewhat arrogant teenagers, and this experience also laid the foundation for him to play the indispensable Gu Junbiao later. After filming several TV series, heeded the advice of his teacher, and he starred in the movies "ET of Our School" and "Kang Chul-jung: Public Enemies 1-1". In the cooperation with his predecessors Jin Xiulu and Xue Jingqiu, he has gained more things, and his acting skills have become more and more mature. He said: "Xue Jingqiu's predecessors can exude their own charm no matter what role they play, and the professionalism of Jin Xiulu's predecessors is also very outstanding. Both of them struggled from the bottom to become well-known actors, so they were my role models. ”
"The most wonderful thing in life is not the moment of success, but looking back, the process of seemingly endless darkness and painstaking groping." We have all had such dark days, we can't see hope, we can't see the future, and we live like years. However, after surviving, I deeply felt that every hardship is the wealth of life.

After 6 years of silent no-name, Min Ho finally ushered in the dawn of his career and met the "Fancy Man" that changed his life. In the audition audition that lasted for 7 months and a 200-on-1 competition rate, it stood out and was seen by the producers at a glance.
Producer Song Bingjun revealed that in order to find F4, interviewed more than 250 people, especially the role of Gu Junbiao, it is difficult to find, by chance, saw a friend's mobile phone with a photo of Lee Min-ho, at first glance it seems very appropriate, so let him perm curly hair to audition, the result was unanimously approved by the crew. Previous crew members were very harsh in picking roles, but Lee Min-ho was an exception, and everyone saw that he was rarely in agreement.
As an unknown newcomer actor to play such a famous role, he did not exuberant, especially cherished, and went all out to act, not only to prepare in advance, but also to pay 100% of the effort.
There was a scene that filmed Gu Junbiao's footing and fell into the open-air swimming pool, which was carried out under the condition that he did not sleep for three days, when the coldest time of the straight winter, the surface of the pool was frozen with thin ice, after the staff salvaged, he jumped directly into it, after going ashore, the staff poured hot water on him, and then jumped again, so it was repeated several times over and over again, and after the broadcast, the shot was only a few seconds in the play, but it took several hours. After filming this scene, he had a cold, although his body was very uncomfortable, he still wanted to insist on finishing the next scene of playing soccer, and as a result, he vomited and had a fever while filming, and was sent to the emergency room, and the hospital asked him to rest more, but in order not to delay the rest of the shooting schedule, he quickly returned to the shooting scene. The shooting schedule is very tight, even the Spring Festival day is filmed from day to night, staying up late to shoot is more commonplace, due to extreme lack of sleep, physical strength is seriously overdrawn, the whole person lost 6 kg during filming.

The hard work of this drama allowed him to win the first award in his life, the Best Newcomer Actor Award at the 45th Korean Baeksang Arts Awards. Not only in South Korea, but also in the whole of Asia, Lee Min-ho frenzy has been set off, winning super popularity, and advertising endorsements have also poured into him. Some people may think that he is "lucky", but more often, the so-called luck is just another name for hard work, and his success is not an accident that happens overnight, but accumulates over time. Lee Min-ho is not Lucky Boy, he just hasn't given up. It is this kind of not giving up that has the "Ju Jun Watch" that people talk about, and also makes people remember Lee Min-ho who laughs warmly like a jade.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="22" >#放下盛名, steady and steady#</h1>
Lee Min-ho, who became famous because of the flower man, did not choose the works of big cass and big productions because of the popularity, but chose the bland and timeless love sketch "Personal Orientation", whether it is the eyes or the carefully designed small actions, you can see his intentions and efforts everywhere. Actor Liu Chenglong, who works with the show, once commented: "He knows his own position and is very ambitious for the future." He was a smart kid who knew his strengths, he wasn't picky, he wasn't proud of his fame, he took his work seriously, and even though filming was a long process, he never showed tiredness. His physical condition is not very good (referring to the old wound on Lee Min-ho's thigh), and in terms of physique, he is actually a bit lame... Why is he a little lame? In fact, there was an iron nail in his thigh, so he couldn't stand for a long time, but Lee Min-ho overcame all these difficulties."
Also working with him was Cheng Seung-wah, who said, "I believe Lee Min-ho is moving in the right direction. Many people pointed out that his acting skills have improved, but because I have not seen the fancy man, I can't comment more. I was just filming my personal orientation and discussing with him about acting skills. Every time we discussed, I believe he always had a way to give me answers, and when shooting, he always smiled very happily. Compared with actors of the same age, Lee Min-ho is very mature and polite. When a person quickly becomes famous, the probability of rapid decline is also relatively high. But I certainly don't worry about Min Ho, his future has infinite development. No matter who it is, as long as he sees Lee Min-ho who works so hard, I believe that anyone will be willing to help him and assist him, so that he has a lot of help. ”
Personal orientation shooting was not smooth, when MBC TV was on strike, the director and some of the crew followed, the remaining assistant director, insufficient manpower, the two lead actors even raised their own light board. And the screenwriter is also the first time to change the best-selling book into a TV series, there is no experience in TV series screenwriting, so Min Ho and Sun Yizhen several starring actors and the novelists who did the first time to write the plot together to write the plot down, actually became the highest rated TV series in MBC that year, breaking the deadlock of single digits in MBC ratings for a year and a half, and won the 100 million yuan special bonus of MBC rewards that year. Not only are the advertising spaces sold, but the copyright of the TV series has also been exported to 85 countries and regions, and Lee Min-ho won the Excellent Acting Award at the 9th MBC Acting Awards with the drama.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="26" > his heart, gorgeous and solid</h1>
When Lee Min-ho just confirmed to play "City Hunter", it was opposed by many Korean netizens, and there were more men among these netizens, and the comic of City Hunter is a classic masterpiece in the hearts of Korean men, and its protagonist is full of admiration, they think that a twenty-three or four-year-old young actor who has not filmed an action scene can control the role of Lee Yun Sung? Later, with the broadcast of the play, the opposition became smaller and smaller, and many Korean men began to appreciate Lee Min-ho's acting skills and evaluate Lee Min-ho for his vivid interpretation of the action scene. This also makes Min-ho have a lot of male meals.
How did such praise come about?
Lee Min-ho began to prepare for fitness and practice action scenes three months before the start of filming, received martial arts instruction, started from the basics to train physical strength and consolidate his stability, and would go to the training site several times a week, and each time he would practice for several hours. Later, in order to become a better city hunter, he practiced with the master shooter in Thailand for a long time, and when he returned home, he returned to the shooting field to practice live ammunition as soon as he had time. Finally reached such a point: usually when the trigger is tapped, people will instinctively be frightened by the loud sound of robbery, or eager to avoid the flying bullets, but Lee Min-ho is completely calm and calm, without blinking an eye, and boldly continues to shoot. The staff said: "The weight of the shotgun is difficult to pick up with one hand, and each shot will emit a fierce gunshot, and the continuous shooting makes many people feel ear pain, but he did not have the slightest fatigue, and used two days to successfully complete the difficult gun scene."
During the filming of the second episode of the mire fight scene, the temperature was only 1-2 degrees that day, and it was not easy to perform in the cold mud, and it was raining, but Min Ho only wore a vest to personally crawl in the mud in order to show the real side, and made difficult moves such as high-altitude flying kicks. Even if you are frozen and shivering, and your lips are white, you still insist on not using a stand-in. A relevant person from the film dealer said: "Because of Lee Min-ho's high enthusiasm, the work can be carried out smoothly. ”
On June 13, 2011, during the filming of the "driving scene", an accident collided with a large truck, causing the vehicle he was driving to overturn, the airbag to rupture, and Min-ho had an injury to his waist in addition to a little skin trauma. After going to the hospital for examination, the director suggested that he go back to rest, but Min Ho only rested for half a day and then returned to the scene to continue shooting.
Shooting the fight scene that was thrown on the ground, in order to shoot the effect, there was no cushion on the ground, every time it was a real fall; even if the broken glass chips were stuck in the legs, they insisted on finishing the scene before going to the hospital in pain; there were only 2 hours of sleep every day during the shooting, and those two hours were carried out by the car to another shooting location, and the trip was also constantly studying how to shoot the next scene.
90% of the action scenes in the city hunters are min ho himself Many parts of his own refusal to use a stand-in, resulting in bruises on his body long after the killing can not be eliminated. Director Chen said: "If Min Ho takes off his clothes now, his whole body should be scarred", like some dangerous action scenes, he could have used stand-ins, but the actors were very enthusiastic about the performance, so they all asked to be personally on the battlefield. Its practical stand-ins do have a lot of flaws, and the actors will have more room to perform in person, and because of this, I am very grateful to them."
HojoJi, the original author of the City Hunter Japanese manga, said after seeing Toshiho's perfect performance that he would cheer for Min-ho to the end, and signed a special name to bless Min-ho for this, which shows that the original author is satisfied with Lee Min-ho. City hunters made Lee Min-ho once again make waves in Asia, and even Europe and the United States caused a sensation. At the 2011 Korea Tv Drama Awards, he not only ascended to the throne of tv, but also won the K-pop Star Special Award, winning two crowns.
As "Shanghai TV" reporter Gan Peng said: many years of dragon set performances, experience a long-term state of role will be cancelled at any time, mentality and performance for many years of accumulation. As a result, when the opportunity to play the protagonist of the trick man and the city hunter comes, it will not be particularly exciting, nor will it be unconfident. Opportunities are given to those who are prepared. This is simple, but not everyone understands and does it. Success is contingent but by no means purely accidental. After doing an interview with South Korea's first long-legged artist Lee Min-ho, this is the biggest feeling. The 24-year-old Lee Min-ho is by no means a good luck overnight fame in some comments, the 20-year-old boy who lay in bed for a whole year due to a car accident has a calm but firm heart. In South Korea, where there are handsome men everywhere, Lee Min-ho can come to this day, not only with that handsome face, but also said that the return is directly proportional to the effort, and your efforts are remembered by God, such a Lee Min-ho must succeed!!!
Gan Peng also said: "I was not actually a fan of Lee Min-ho before, I didn't particularly like him, but I liked him after I interviewed him." It is because of personality and personality, I think you can feel whether there is something inside a person in the conversation. The beginning is to say a little, his experience is quite bumpy, and he is still studying film art majors, enough knowledge, enough cultivation, enough to receive people and things, and he has his own life experience, he is not a fall, from a trough slowly step by step steady to the current level, he became popular after not that kind of anxious and exaggerated style, this will make people who have contacted him appreciate him, because it is impossible to contact his people, the industry, or go to various countries are fanatical fans, Then I think that if someone like me, who is only an objective point of view for work reasons, can appreciate him, I think this is personality charm. ”
"People who give up hope can't succeed. Victory is not important, the most important thing is to persevere in the fighting spirit of not giving up. I think even if it fails, that attitude of not compromising and not giving up is admirable. This sentence is Lee Min-ho's motto. Today, he has walked through the desolation of life, out of his own prosperous scenery, suffering in the branches to be dried into a strong, how many ups and downs, and finally understand the days, there are flowers, butterflies, and sunshine.
Indifferent, like a flower, elegant and pure,
Calm, like a tree, lush and green.
In the heights, the heart stands upright like a tree.
In the low places, the heart is like a small grass and gentle and humble.
The heart of excellence, not necessarily gorgeous, but strong. His heart, gorgeous and strong.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="44" > the realm of the actor</h1>
Lee Min-ho once said: "I am glad that my work has been loved by many people, and I am also a little flattered. However, rather than trepidation, I have a stronger sense of responsibility to repay the public's concern and expectations for me. Therefore, I will overcome the deficiencies, pay more learning and preparation in acting, and show a better look, a mature actor's face."
When shooting on the spot, he will always let the assistant take the camera to shoot his scene, and then look back at his performance, sincere and focused, dissatisfied with the director's request to re-shoot, for acting, he has never dealt with it at will, always full of enthusiasm, and because of this, he has created a classic role, and each work is also loud.
In episode 12 of the Heirs, Jin Sigh is slapped by his father, and from the tidbits, he can hear a very heavy and loud crisp voice! In order to make this scene as realistic as possible, Lee Min-ho was fanned by Jeong Dong-hwan 7 times. After the director shouted cut, the senior actors collectively praised. Most TV dramas are slapped and basically use borrowed positions, so the audience can't help but sigh after watching it: "It's a real fight!" "I was slapped in the face." It hurts to hear."
During the filming of the 17 episodes of the self-defeating Golden Sigh Bridge, the mouth was swollen in the fight shot, and I was afraid that the swelling of the wound would affect the shooting progress, so I continued to shoot with ice cubes.
In the heir, Many of the pictures of Lee Min-ho kicking people or kicking the door are using the left leg, which is due to a traffic accident in 2006 that caused him to have a crushing fracture of his right thigh bone and ankle bone, and survived by relying on 1000px steel nails, although he had surgery to remove a part of the steel plate implanted in the leg, but there was also a part of the steel plate that could not be removed in this lifetime, so he left a lot of car accident sequelae, and it would be very painful to encounter weather changes. The action of kicking the leg, Min Ho chose to kick out of the left leg, because the pain in the right leg could not be raised, and because the pain was not very strong when using the right leg as a fulcrum, there was a two-hand balancing action! It is impossible to imagine how much suffering and effort Min Ho suffered when dragging such a leg to shoot the city hunters and Xinyi, without the use of a stand-in, all the dangerous actions were personally played!
Shin Hye-ko also said that during this time, Min-ho will hold his right thigh with his hand when he sits down! In fact, at the time of the drama conference, I saw that Min Ho had his hand on the right thigh when he came on stage, and he was wondering if his leg began to hurt again! Don't want to be too sensational, so just state!
Lee Min-ho's meticulous and dedicated attitude towards his work has also received a lot of praise from the co-actors and crew.
Co-actor Choi Jin Hyuk commented: It is rare to be so close to the actor acting with a male actor, and Min Ho is really a special situation, Min Ho and I are always ready to play, very grateful to him, although he is a younger brother, but there are many places to learn from him, there is no top superstar shelf, the people around are also very caring, is a good boy, everyone will actually be surprised to see it.
Yang Chengbi: Lee Min-ho's predecessor, regardless of his own big name, worked the shooting scene, even if the shooting was hard, I never saw him frown once, at that time I thought that the actor should be like this, I did not choose the wrong profession.
Production company: Lee Min-ho needs to shoot at the beach for a long time because of the tight overseas location schedule, which must be very tired, but he does not have the slightest unhappy look, and often takes care of the staff, which is touching.
Although Lee Min-ho plays a high school student again, her acting skills are more mature, especially the subtle and calm expression of emotions. The Korean media commented: "Just as newborn babies can only express their feelings through crying, newcomers often put their weight on the acting skills of "divergence", the more exaggerated the body language, the higher the voice, and the scope of performance is also expanded." However, as the idiom of "the fuller the valley is, the heavier the grain spike", as the actor becomes more mature, the acting skills will change from "divergence" to "hidden tolerance, convergence", Lee Min-ho no longer needs exaggerated body language and lofty voice, with subtle expression changes and eyes, it is enough for the audience to understand the feelings of the character and convey the information that the character wants to express to the audience. With his outstanding performance in the play, Lee Min-ho not only swept five SBS awards, but also won the Best Actor Award at the DramaFever Awards in the United States, and his momentum climbed to a high point, making him the first Korean artist to appear on the Chinese Spring Festival Gala.
Walk to the end of the water and sit and watch the clouds rise. Don't be shocked, watch the flowers blossom and fall before the court. Go to stay unintentional, look at the sky clouds cirrus clouds Shu. This is the realm of Li Minhao, whether it is at the trough or at the peak, he can step by step according to his set goals, not in a hurry, not arrogant, not impatient, and go steadily.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="57" > higher than his appearance is his character</h1>
Fans love him, not because of how many medals he has won, but behind the radiant, the kind of tenacity and persistence that has never given up and never slackened, watching him come all the way, when he is in a low position, angry and strong, not self-pity, when he is in a high position, there is no pride and complacency, he puts his posture very low, his mentality always remains peaceful, from obscurity to everyone's admiration, still maintains his true colors, maintains his original intention, and moves forward down-to-earth.
For actors who look good and have high looks, it is inevitable that they will be saddled with the so-called "idol baggage" by the public, especially Lee Min-ho has gained super popularity through one work after another, perhaps some people think that Lee Min-ho can only be "idol", right? No, no, no, "idol baggage"? For Lee Min-ho, there is no ~~
Gangnam made his big-screen debut in 1970 as a scruffy beggar in the film. In order to get closer to the role of the beggar, he did not wipe the skin care products for a full 7 months, resulting in skin damage. Wearing a tattered shirt, rough and dull skin, a sharp brother's hairstyle, sitting on the ground and eating with a lunch box, who would have thought that this was the idol of the red half of the sky?
Filming the "Bloody Muddy Battle in the Rain of 100 People" took a full week, the original land was farmland, the crew used loess to cover it to form a mud pond, below which is fertilizer, feces, etc., from time to time there is a smell emitted. Six sprinkler trucks came in and out, shooting from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m., rolling in the mud, knocking them down and then getting up and beating. "Min Ho flipped her fingernails in the mud fight scene, in order not to affect the progress of the analgesic to continue shooting, if the analgesic effect has passed, then go to the hospital for injections and come back to shoot again." But he doesn't like to sell misery, so he didn't mention this injured experience, or the co-actor Jin Laiyuan mentioned fans in the interview. "Injury" seems to have become an add-on to each of his works, but this has not hindered his pursuit of actors in the slightest, but has become his driving force for continuous progress. There is no shortcut to success, and the future is left to those who are prepared, Lee Min-ho, who wants to wear the crown must bear its weight.
Lee Min-ho has also been highly praised by industry media and directors.
Bucheon International Fantasy Film Festival Committee: In the film "Gangnam 1970", he showed a high level of action scenes, and his acting skills were very mature, which was recognized by the directors.
CHIK News: Lee Min-ho's excellent acting skills have really integrated him and the character.
Tenasia, South Korea: Lee Min-ho performed beyond expectations, in "Gangnam 1970", he can hide his 'beauty', through skillful fighting and cold eyes, portraying an unforgettable gangster macho Kim Jong-dae.
Japanese media CINEMA: Lee Min-ho got rid of the image of a prince and transformed into a man full of wild beauty.
International Online: Lee Min-ho completely broke through the previous image of a rich and handsome man, showing the infinite possibilities as an actor.
Director Yoo Ho: Those comments about "Lee Min-ho can only play the son of a chaebol" are irresponsible, frankly, this is not a film that I tailored for Lee Min-ho, but from the time I shot the first scene, I was sure that he could play the role. Lee Min-ho performs the coexistence of violence and innocence in the characters, especially the complex eyes that make a deep impression. His learning ability is very strong, he can enter the shooting immediately after learning the action once or twice, even if the injured toe is lifted, he is also anesthesia injection to continue shooting, so the dedication makes me very moved.
Martial arts director Hong Yizheng: The level of action scenes shown by Lee Min-ho is far higher than our requirements, and even if he has large and small injuries, he can still insist on acting in action scenes, showing no tiredness at all, always working very hard, and because of his efforts, the action scenes of this movie can be filmed so well.
Lee Min-ho won the Best Newcomer Actor Award at the Korea Film Grand Bell Awards, the Producer's Choice Award at the Bucheon International Fantastic Film Festival, the Best Popularity Award at the Baeksang Arts Awards in Korea, and the Popular Star Award at the Korea Blue Dragon Film Awards.
Filming the final reunion scene in "Xinyi", Lee Min-ho took the initiative to ask for a beard. Neither the writer nor the director required Min-ho to post a fake beard, because changing his head shape had to be spat on by PC netizens for half a day, pasting a beard, and it was in the most important last scene, which was a risky thing. Even if you don't put on a beard, you won't be blamed for it, but Min-ho thinks about the role of the general herself and chooses to put a beard on her own. A young actor like Min-ho, whose appearance is also an important asset, puts a beard on the final finale, which many PC drama fans consider to be a brave demeanor. Min-ho may not have grown such a long beard in his life, but from the crumpled costume and several image changes according to the psychological changes of the general, as well as the last beard, all reflect Min-ho's respect and love for the profession of actor and the role of the general.
Xinyi is the first costume drama played by Lee Min-ho. Choi Ying, played by Min Ho, was a great general in the Goryeo period, so he hired a swordplay professional for sword training, and the production team also tailored a sword for him, for up to 6 months, Lee Min Ho always carried this sword, whether it was shooting scenes or rest time, when caught, he would practice, and even when he slept, he could not leave the sword.
Because he had to wear a costume to cover his long legs, the shooting in June was about to start getting hot, and he had to wrap several pieces a day. Lee Min-ho traveled to 14 sets across the country during filming, sometimes with crews traveling 1,000 kilometers a day, and each change of venue takes 3 to 5 hours to drive from Seoul. Because of the strong shaking on the way, Min Ho can't sleep in the car Generally memorizes the lines of the ancients, the intense work and the more weighty martial arts scenes in the play, resulting in lack of physical strength, weight loss, and a total of 14 pounds lost before and after the shooting.
The falling water scene in the play for only two seconds, filmed for a long time, because wearing six layers of armor fell into the water, the clothes were too thick, the director shouted the card half a day after the floating up, the staff went down to pull him up, kept coughing, and then went into the water again, so wearing 7 kilograms of samurai armor into the water repeatedly launched and filmed, did not complain about the hardship, perfectly met the director's requirements.
The martial arts director of "Xinyi" praised, "Lee Min-ho's acting skills and enthusiasm for action scenes are not simple, regardless of the risk of injury, nor do they use stand-ins, all of which are learning by themselves and doing hard." In sudden situations, he will also react quickly, will exert his own explosive power, and interpret the action scenes very well. ”
"Xinyi" director Kim Jong-gak commented: Although he is a top star, Lee Min-ho will come to the scene first and shoot honestly, and every time he leads by example, enlivens the atmosphere of the scene, and is a good actor with both acting skills and affinity.
"Xinyi" screenwriter Song Zhina commented on Min Ho: Lee Min Ho is very good at expressing feelings with his eyes, not only expressing feelings other than lines, but even showing duplicity, but also using body language to express "the natural elegant aristocratic temperament and the mighty temperament of the general". An actor wants to embellish himself with the gorgeous lines given to him by the screenwriter, basically anyone can, but you can only express yourself with limited lines, and the "real" behind the limited lines, and it is not easy to convince and move the audience. If that character is not the one in the audience's common sense, it will be even more difficult. He completed 70% of Cui Ying, and Lee Min-ho performed Cui Ying to 130%, and the feeling of conveying God with eyes is really too good to set off the other party's acting skills. Therefore, the general's lines were deliberately written incisively.
Lee Min-ho's role of Choi Ying has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, not only winning the Best Acting Award at the SBS Acting Awards in South Korea, but also winning the Best Actor Award at the DramaFever Awards in the United States.
After becoming famous, Lee Min-ho was not immersed in the joy of success and was overwhelmed by popularity, but seriously considered the subsequent development, he grew steadily at the rate of one work per year, treated work neither impatiently nor slackened, treated negative evaluations with humility and humility, treated fame and fortune calmly and calmly, and he wanted to be an actor respected by his descendants, not a popular idol. Just as the so-called misfortunes and blessings are relied upon, under the baptism of tribulations, all the blessings and misfortunes are deeply engraved in his soul, making him an actor with a story, a thickness, a thought, and a tension.
