The Art of negotiation tells the story of Yoon Joo No (Lee Je Hoon) - the leader of the buying and selling and merging team of Sanin Group. Known as a legendary negotiator, Joo No has repeatedly led his team to overcome major challenges of the business.
The film was officially released on the evening of March 8 and has continuously recorded growth in viewership ratings. In the most recent episode (evening of March 23), the film "The Master of negotiations" achieved a rating of 8%, approaching the double-digit milestone.
According to Korean media, the initial success of the work comes from Lee Je Hoon's impressive acting skills. In the role of Joo No, the actor clearly demonstrated the meticulous strategy, quick judgment and persuasion of a negotiator in each different deal.
Even when the negotiation process with Japanese parts supplier - Shimizu was at a disadvantage, Joo No still showed his leadership ability and reassured his employees Oh Soon Young (Kim Dae Myeung), Kwak Min Jung (Ahn Hyun Ho) and Choi Jin Soo ( Cha Kang Yoon) at the right time.
On screen, Lee Je Hoon's acting convinced viewers. The way Joo No does not express emotions, short dialogue but calmly and decisively, or expresses his understanding of the indigenous culture of each country he visits to carry out deals increases the character's appeal.
In fact, the film The Master of negotiations is quite picky about viewers when exploiting stories about the world of buying and selling and merging them with specialized terms, somewhat dry, but with a concise, logical plot, combining stories with humanistic colors helps the film be less burdensome to viewers.
This is also true of director Ahn Pan Seok's previous sharing, that is, making a film to explore the world of businesses, but deep down there is a story about people. I really hope that viewers will find empathy in the characters experiences, thereby better understanding themselves and the world around them.
Meanwhile, Lee Je Hoon once shared that acting in the film was a challenge, but he took all his courage and tried. I am satisfied with the result and I am happy to be able to introduce negotiating art to the audience through Joo No. I believe this will be a memorable character, he said.
