Jeong Seung-gil, in 'Dream', a melodrama that he couldn't achieve in 'Melo's Constitution'
The movie 'Dream', which was released on the 26th, is a story about Hong Dae (Park Seo-joon), a former soccer player with no concept, and So-min (IU), a passionless producer, who challenge an impossible dream with a ragtag group of homeless national team players. 'Extreme Job' was directed by director Lee Byung-hun and attracted attention even before its release with a solid lineup including Park Seo-joon, IU, Kim Jong-soo, Ko Chang-seok, Jeong Seung-gil, Lee Hyun-woo, Yang Hyun-min, Hong Wan-pyo, and Heo Jun-seok.
Jeong Seung-gil, who worked with director Lee Byung-hun on 'Melodrama' and 'Alice's Ultimate Weapon', played the role of 'Son Beom-soo', a mischievous member of the national homeless team, in 'Dream' and attempted variations in his acting, adding fun to the screen so that there would be no time to get bored. Beomsu's charm, which includes a comical expression befitting the title of foul play king and a self-described 'bone pain', drew laughter from the audience with just the trailer alone.
At the ‘Dream’ press conference held on the 18th, director Lee Byung-hun said, “I had a lot of affection for the role of Beom-su during the script writing stage. “I wanted to create a melodrama that I wasn’t able to achieve in ‘Melodrama,’” he said. Jeong Seung-gil, who was the only one to lead the love line in 'Dream', added detail to the character of Beom-su, a jealous foul play king and a noble lover, and in some ways, portrayed a very polarized character with skillful acting and excellent character interpretation. .
In particular, actress Lee Ji-hyun, Jeong Seung-gil's real-life wife, appeared as the lover Jinju in the movie, and the two, who were actually a couple, became a hot topic by showing off their chemistry as lovers.
Jeong Seung-gil, who played a charismatic role that stood out for his seriousness and uprightness as the chief secretary in the JTBC drama 'Agency', proved his wide acting spectrum by immersing himself in the role of 'Beom-su', a mischievous person, in 'Dream', impressing the audience with his unrivaled acting transformation. It brought laughter and emotion. Jeong Seung-gil is meeting the audience's expectations as he digests the flexible and fast-paced dialogue of director Lee Byung-hun, who is known for his 'taste of words', with excellent control of speed and speed, and his hidden charms along with his sly acting are also brought to the spotlight.
Will 'Dream', which contains director Lee Byung-hun's message that "More than victory, we are in the stadium and not afraid to enter it, and not afraid to live in the community," which contains the message, can play an active role as a relief pitcher in the Korean film industry? Interest is drawn.
