'The Noble Man' is about the chase of Marco (played by Kang Tae-joo), a boxer who travels around illegal stadiums in the Philippines, as an unidentified nobleman (played by Kim Seon-ho) and other forces with different goals appear. The nobleman played by Kim Seon-ho is a person who causes havoc around Marco, who is struggling to make money.
Kim Seon-ho plays a completely different character from his previous work in his screen debut, 'The Noble Man'. While Hong Du-sik in 'Cha Cha Cha Cha in the Seaside Village' was a cheerful and warm character who was involved in the big and small affairs of the neighborhood, the nobleman in 'The Noble Man' was a mysterious man shrouded in mystery. The 'Sweetheart' side heightened curiosity by replacing the short description of the Little Gongja character with a "mysterious person."
Director Park Hoon-jung of 'The Noble Man' has as his trademark a writing style in which the main character switches between the first and second half of the film, so it is considered a point of interest to see how the characters Marco and the nobleman will show a reversal in their relationship through any variation in the play.
Accordingly, Kim Seon-ho's acting skills in the movie are expected to play a major role in the perfection of 'The Noble Man'. Attention is being paid to what kind of impression Kim Seon-ho, who is taking on the challenge of a character that has not been shown before, will be able to convey to the audience. Kim Seon-ho, who has been loved by the public through works with a bright and light atmosphere such as the dramas 'Eurachacha Waikiki 2', 'Startup', and 'Seaside Village Chachacha', is once again persuading the public through the dark and mysterious character of a nobleman in 'The Scion'. The key is whether you can do it.
One official said, "In the case of Kim Seon-ho, he is very popular in Asia and is an actor who has built up solid acting skills through theater performances, etc., so if he succeeds in transforming his acting through 'The Noble Man,' he will be able to achieve success without difficulty as an actor with a diverse spectrum. “It will be possible,” he predicted.
In the same case, senior actor Lee Byung-hun can be cited as an example. Lee Byung-hun also received a lot of criticism when his personal life issues broke out in 2014, but he received positive reviews from the public for his excellent acting in the movie 'Inside Men', which was released in 2015. Regarding this, Lee Byung-hun was also evaluated as having ‘put the issue to rest with his acting skills.’ Since then, Lee Byung-hun has been loved by the public with his ceaseless acting in movies such as 'Secret Agent', 'Single Rider', 'Namhansanseong', 'That's My World', 'Baekdusan', 'Managers of Namsan', and 'Emergency Declaration'. there is.
Will Kim Seon-ho be able to achieve the same reversal as Lee Byung-hun? Attention is focusing on whether Kim Seon-ho's 'noble men' can become Lee Byung-hun's 'insiders'.
