The Nice guy (Vietnamese title: The Great Great guy) tells the story of Park Seok Chul (Lee Dong Wook) - the illegitimate nephew in a third-generation black family and Kang Mi Young (Lee Sung Kyung) - his first love, a girl who dreams of becoming a singer.
The show has aired 4 episodes with a viewership rating of 2.2% - 3.2%, according to Nielsen Korea. Belonging to the noir genre (black film), combined with romantic psychology, the pace of the film "The Great Khan" is quite fast.
From the beginning, Seok Chul's story became clear - a young man with a pure heart, but the rush of life pushed him to make a living in the underworld.
When determined to escape the gangster world, Seok Chul faces some obstacles from both the gang member and Kang Tae Hoon (Park Hoon) - his former senior who is also the director of the opposing faction.
Meanwhile, the female lead Mi Young, who suffered psychological damage in high school, had to transfer schools. Currently, she struggles to make a living to support her mother with dementia but still maintains her passion for music.
With the "fever" of Korean films, the story of Seok Chul and Mi Young or other factors in the film such as pressure in the underworld, conflicts of interests, fighting for rights... are not new. However, the highlight of the film is the acting of the cast.
Notable among them is Lee Dong Wook. The actor was dedicated to action scenes and acted well in psychological scenes. Previously, sharing about Seok Chul, Lee Dong Wook said that this is a role he did not have to prepare too much for.
With this work, sometimes people feel like they are witnessing Lee Dong Wook in real life. I want to portray a normal, close character - someone you can really meet in real life" - the actor said.
According to Lee Dong Wook, the image of black society in Korean films is often considered outdated or emptptptptptpthe, which is also the reason why he spent a lot of time talking to the director and screenwriter to make Seok Chul appear on the real screen, without any painting.
Along with Lee Dong Wook, Ryu Hye Young (as Seok Hee - Seok Chul's younger sister), Oh Na Ra (as Seok Kyung - Seok Chul's younger sister) scored. The good interaction of the 3 sisters brought comfort to the audience.
Meanwhile, the female lead Lee Sung Kyung played well, attracting in scenes that required her singing skills. Her character Mi Young in the movie The Great Old Man compared to her role as Woo Joo in The Love Line is both mentally heavy, but Mi Young is brighter and more positive.
However, according to the film's development, the fact that the trio Seok Chul - Mi Young - Tae Hoon are involved in a love triangle, or the male lead is assigned to handle Tae Hoon... is unlikely to break through. In particular, the film's showing of 2 episodes in an evening is also considered a disadvantage.
