Han Hyo-joo & Yoo Yeon-seok To Erase Kind Images And Transform Into Villains In New Projects
Actors Han Hyo-joo and Yoo Yeon-seok are making intense comebacks with evil characters
Han Hyo-joo recently impressed viewers with her hero character in Disney+’s hit series “Moving”. She also showcased her honest and warm personality in tvN’s entertainment program “Unexpected Business”.
Yoo Yeon-seok imprinted his unique gentle charm through various dramas, such as “Hospital Playlist”, “Dr. Romantic” and “Reply 1994”. In fact, the actor shows high synchronization with his characters as he spreads good influence through various volunteer activities.
Known for their images as good people on the screen, Han Hyo-joo and Yoo Yeon-seok attract attention as they herald shocking transformations as villains in upcoming acting projects. Making their debut in the same year (2003), the two attempted to challenge completely new images in the 20th year of their acting career, raising expectations from viewers.
Han Hyo-joo replaces the late Kim Joo-hyuk’s position in “Believer 2”
Scheduled to premiere on November 17th, “Believer 2” is the follow-up film to director Lee Hae-young’s box office hit “Believer 2” that attracted 5.2 million viewers in 2018.
As the first movie produced impressive villains, such as drug dealers Jin Ha-rim (Kim Joo-hyuk) and Boryeong (Jin Seo-yeon), anticipation for the new villain Big Knife by Han Hyo-joo in the second movie is rising. Introducing her role, Han Hyo-joo shared, “In ‘Believer 2’, I took over the position left by Kim Joo-hyuk and Jin Seo-yeon in the first movie”.
Big Knife is the person closest to Mr. Lee and is in charge of cleaning up crime scenes for the organization. According to the original plan, this character was a man, but the production team changed the setting and cast Han Hyo-joo. As such, the actress made all efforts to portray Big Knife, such as wearing dentures and glasses, getting tanned skin, or doing harsh action training. She confessed, “I worked out intensely without drinking a sip of water for 3 days”.
“Believer 2” featuring Han Hyo-joo’s villainous performance will be available on Netflix from November 17th.
Yoo Yeon-seok becomes a mad serial killer in “A Very Luck Day”
Yoo Yeon-seok took off his “romantic guy” image to challenge a complete villain role in earnest through TVING’s new original series “A Very Luck Day”. Although Yoo Yeon-seok has played bad guys in “Architecture 101” and “A Werewolf Boy”, this is his first time portraying a serial killer, which is a 100% evil character.
The actor appears in the drama as Geum Hyuk-soo, a mad serial killer who heads to Mokpo to hide and cover up his murders. His escape, which is accompanied by taxi driver Oh Taek (Lee Sung-min), is expected to provide extreme thrills to viewers.
Regarding his decision to join “A Very Luck Day”, Yoo Yeon-seok shared, “I had the desire to show a new side that viewers had never seen before. Knowing senior actors Lee Sung-min and Lee Jung-eun would do this work, I knew it was an offer I could never refuse”.
Based on a Naver webtoon of the same name, “A Very Luck Day” is the first drama by “Hostage: Missing Celebrity” director Pil Kam-sung. It will release the first part (from episode 1 to episode 6) on November 24th via TVING.
