There is a type of actor in South Korea, on handsome, he is only a second line; on acting, he is only a third line; on gossip, he is only four lines. However, at a certain time, he also called the wind and rain and won countless fans!
For example, let's talk about Kwon Sang-woo as an actor.
Quan Sang-woo's popularity is not bad, his acting skills are not bad, his reputation is not bad, his appearance is not bad, and he has even been considered to be the best Han Xing, but he can float on the cusp of the waves, completely relying on the popular time of the work, leaving the work, it is simply low-key stuffy.
Stairway to Heaven
He is most impressed, of course, is "Stairway to Heaven", a Korean drama more than ten years ago, which won the first korean rating at that time, and also set off a topic frenzy in China, and Cha Chengjun, played by Quan Sang-woo, is completely the model of the best lover in the hearts of countless women: handsome, infatuated, multi-gold, and able to abandon everything for the sake of lovers. I would like to ask, such a man and several women do not love.
In this Korean drama, in addition to the character image, Kwon Sang-woo's eyes that are always sad are also a big killer. Coupled with the tear-jerking actress Cui Zhiyou, this drama is not popular. Moreover, the heroine of the villain of this drama is Kim Tae-hee, who later claimed to be the first beauty of Korea.
"Sad Love Song"
In 2005, Kwon Sang-woo continued a similar role and cooperated with Kim Hee-sun to shoot "Sad Love Song", which is also a good Korean drama.
In 2014, the screen CP of Kwon Sang-woo and Choi Ji-woo cooperated in the filming of "Temptation" after 11 years, at this time, Cui Zhiyou, the beauty has gradually aged, and Quan Sang-woo also has a lot less of the fierceness of that year, looking at the entanglement of this pair of people in the play, can't help but lament the ruthlessness of the years.
"Temptation"
Kwon Sang-woo's works are not few among Korean male actors, but they are far from rich. There are several movies in which he has starred, which are still worth watching. In 2003, in addition to the popularity of "Stairway to Heaven", the film "My Savage Female Teacher" with Kim Ho-na was also a lighthearted and fun movie.
"My Savage Female Teacher"
The title of this film based on an online novel has a tendency to imitate "My Savage Girlfriend", but the content is completely different, and Kwon Sang-woo plays a high school student who does not learn and has no skills, and is a rich man. Although Kim Ho-na is the same age as him, she is already a sophomore with great grades. The story begins in tuition, such a love light comedy, reflecting the skill of Quan Xiangyu in interpreting literary and art films, and he is more mature than Kong Liu in the same film.
The Cruel History of Horse Porridge Street
The most emblematic of Quan Sang-woo's true colors is undoubtedly a slightly dark movie such as "The Cruel History of Horse Porridge Street", "The Beast", "Fate", and "Pain".
"The Cruel History of Horse Porridge Street" in the role of Kwon Sang-woo as a model high school student, full of shyness about love and friendship, and finally practiced taekwondo, had to rise up against campus bullying, many people commented that he beat the students on the roof of the school to fight, which is exemplary; "Beast" in the Quan Xiangyu jealousy and hatred, as a policeman, law enforcement likes to be straightforward and use violence; "Fate" This movie full of gray and dark tones, whether it is him, or Song Chengxian, has shown extraordinary acting skills.
Fate
And the movie "Pain", the plot and Korean dramas have a striking similarity, the filming of repression and forbearance, the hero and heroine have been treated unfairly by life, they are one painless, one can not be painful. Born a pair, bitter mandarin duck. And Kwon Sang-woo, the best starting point for his temperament and performance, is close to such a role. Therefore, he acted without twists and turns, and his actions flowed smoothly.
"Pain"
From 2012 to 2015, Quan Sang-woo made three movies in China, namely "Shadow Lover", "Zodiac Signs", and "Love Enemy Honeymoon", which are big names from the perspective of the actors who participated. Maybe it's a cultural difference, maybe it's something else, except for "Zodiac", which is slightly better, the other two films, whether it is the work itself or Kwon Sang-woo's play in it, cannot be considered good.
And his latest crime comedy movie "Detective" series, is not very brilliant, the same film Ofong Dong-il as always laughs, people look relaxed, and Kwon Sang-woo is actually not a funny actor, has the feeling of being bound to make a film, unfortunately, when can he have a better work?
