Lee Min Ho changes after falling off a horse in The King?
The King of Ages was once considered a failed horse fall of Lee Min Ho. Returning to the set after a period of military service, Lee Min Ho still chose a script with the image of an old, worn-out character, which he had acted in for a decade.
On screen, Lee Min Ho, despite playing different roles in different film projects, will always be a handsome guy, beautiful in every corner of the camera, the son of a rich family, " cool cool", making women fall in love and tired.
It is a pity that over time, his appeal has fading away, Lee Min Ho has been criticized for being bland, acting with a stiff face, and acting in "10 movies like 1".
The fall from the horse from The King of Ages may have awakened Lee Min Ho to decide to change direction, taking the role of a villain in Pachinko, with the bold hot scenes he performed for the first time in his acting career.
However, Lee Min Ho's performance in "Pachinko" has not shown a significant breakthrough. Before Lee Min Ho, many male idols tried to break the image of male idols to find transformation in colorful roles with complex psychology.
The male idols tear away their images
Hyun Bin has had a time to dominate the small screen with handsome, charming roles since the time of "Secret Garden". The movie The Life-and-Dying negotiation is considered Hyun Bins transformation when playing the role of the cold-blooded murderer Min Tae Gu. This is hailed as the most impressive role in Hyun Bin's acting career.
Despite playing a murderer with a lot of hate, Hyun Bin is still praised for his outstanding appearance. With Min Tae Gu, Hyun Bin showed his advanced acting skills, diverse expressive ability, and a face that was both hateful and painful.
In 2021, "national son-in-law" Lee Seung Gi also teased off his gentle, gentle image that he had seen when he took on the role of a multi-personality transformed murderer in the TV series "Mouse: The human hunter".
Mouse: The human hunter is a journey to solve a difficult crime for the police when the murderer is a multi-personality, a mix of inner crimes. With the role of Jung Ba Reum, Lee Seung Gi had a performance transforming from a gentle police officer to a brutal and inhumane murderer.
Although the role did not have an excellent explosion, Jung Ba Reum acknowledged his efforts and efforts to overcome Lee Seung Gi's old roles. When Lee Seung Gi took on this role, many Korean newspapers reported, "The national son-in-law plays a murderer", implying that Lee Seung Gi is trying to change.
Also in 2021, another actor was also noted for tearing off his old photos to become more thorny, Jung Hae In, for his role in D.P: Catching the deserving soldiers.
With the role of Ahn Jun Ho, Jung Hae In's acting maturity was remarkable. Compared to the previous series of male idols in the films "Sister Who Buys Me Rice" and "A Spring Night", Jung Hae In has had a thorny, strong Ahn Jun Ho with a clear change in psychological depth. Jung Hae In's eye-catching performance in "Truy bat linh ngu" was praised for depicting the mystery and sadness of the character Ahn Jun Ho.
Realizing the boredom of playing male idols according to the general formula, many Korean actors have found ways to escape with many types of roles with colors and complexity in psychological developments.
For the escape to be successful, effort alone is not enough, talent and a spectacular breakthrough and transformation are needed.
