‘Killers’ Shopping Mall’ Kim Min, all-time scene stealer
‘Killers’ Shopping Mall’ (written by Ji Ho-jin and Lee Kwon, directed by Lee Kwon and Noh Gyu-yeop) is a stylish new wave action film that tells the story of the survival story of nephew Jian (played by Kim Hye-jun), who becomes the target of suspicious killers due to a dangerous legacy left behind by his uncle Jin-man (played by Lee Dong-wook). . The passionate performances of the actors, excellent directing, and colorful visuals combine to create a highly complete series, gaining popularity by receiving favorable reviews from media and critics around the world upon its release.
Kim Min played the role of Passin in the play. The character he plays, Pasin, is Jin Man's old friend and Ji An's Muay Thai teacher. In episodes 3 and 4, which were released on the 24th, the story of Jian being trained in Muay Thai along with the appearance of Fashin was depicted. Jian, who felt frustrated by his uncle's overprotection, went to Pasin and asked him to become his Muay Thai teacher.
Pasin, whose son in Thailand was about to go to the royal school, began teaching Muay Thai to Gian for a certain amount of money. Pasin, who encouraged Jian by saying, “Slug, slow down,” and taught him Muay Thai techniques one by one in the yard set up behind the Thai restaurant he runs, was proud to see Jian grow. While they were having a good time laughing and sweating together for a short period of time, Fashin suddenly disappeared, borrowing money from people around him, raising questions about his whereabouts.
Among these, Kim Min took on the character of Passin himself and radiated his devilish charm every time he appeared, completing an all-time scene-stealer character. Kim Min, armed with a unique way of speaking and unique visuals, made the character of Passin stand out even more, and the Muay Thai skills he showed off in between were said to have doubled the level of immersion by adding to expectations for the high-intensity action to be shown in the future.
Moreover, the way he boasts of his trustworthiness and bickering by Jin-man's side, and the way he understands Jin-man's feelings well and even takes care of his nephew Jian, adds warm fun and entertains the eyes of viewers, raising unprecedented expectations. As evidenced by the fact that director Lee Kwon was immediately satisfied with actress Kim Min and cast her, Kim Min shows a shining presence in the work and is receiving favorable reviews for her performance that literally chews up the scene.
Kim Min is showing a performance that will stick in your mind among these characters, each with their own distinct and strong personality. He is making an impact with his own character interpretation and expression, and curiosity is growing about the story that will unfold in the remaining episodes.
Meanwhile, Disney+'s original series 'Killers' Shopping Mall' has a total of 8 episodes, 2 each, released every Wednesday on Disney+.
