Lee Hyun-wook, “I went on a trip with Kim Nam-gil and talked until 7 a.m”

Actor Lee Hyun-wook mentioned Kim Nam-gil, who he worked with in the Netflix series 'Thief: The Sound of the Knife'.

On the morning of the 26th, Lee Hyun-wook met with Ten Asia at a cafe located in Samcheong-dong, Jongno-gu, Seoul and told various stories related to the Netflix series 'Thief: The Sound of the Sword'.

'Thieves: The Sound of the Sword', which was released on the 22nd, is an action drama about people who come together to protect their precious people and their home in Gando, a lawless land where the land of China, money from Japan, and people from Joseon gathered in 1920. . It contains the story of thieves, not thieves who rob others, but the 'sound of the sword'.

In the play, Lee Hyun-wook plays Lee Gwang-il. Gwang-il Lee is a major from the Joseon Dynasty of the 37th Infantry Regiment of the 19th Division of the Empire of Japan.

On this day, Lee Hyun-wook said, "My brother and I had the same goal as Nam-gil. I carefully said, 'I want to go back to being Lee Gwang-il,' about the scene where his finger is blown off after being shot. At that time, my brother readily agreed. While talking about God," Hyun-wook Lee said. "When I look at the senior actors who are the main characters, they are very sensitive and have a lot to do, so there were many times when it was difficult to talk, but they gave me their opinions first, and I think I learned a lot from them," he said.

He continued, "It's the same code for chatting with my brother. I think I talk a lot too, but less than my brother Namgil. I only talk a lot with people I'm close to and people I can communicate with. But my brother is incredibly talkative. We even went on a trip together. "I went on a trip with the actors who appeared in 'The Thief: The Sound of the Knife'. We talked so excitedly that we went to bed at 7 in the morning," he added.

Lee Hyun-wook said, "I once fell asleep in the morning while talking to my older brother. Afterwards, our tongues dried up. Later, we were both exhausted and asked to sleep. We talked about acting and the future with my older brother. I really learned a lot from my older brother. There was an actor named Kim Nam-gil. It may vary depending on how people look at it, but the prejudice I saw was that seniors who played a lot of roles were stars or celebrities. However, I was influenced a lot because I had more to learn than I thought. Namgil hyung made me think. “A lot has happened,” he explained.

Lee Hyun-wook said of Kim Nam-gil, "He tends to think a lot. He also thinks about the acting of the other actor. He puts into practice the intention of handing over the scene to his junior or the other actor. At the same time, he has the heart to save the scene and the mind to think about the work. He expressed his affection by saying, "It was great. People who act are busy doing their own thing, but thanks to my brother, I thought a lot about the scene that encompasses the whole."
