Choi Woo-Shik Opens up About His Appearance in A Killer Paradox
He was assaulted by a drunk on his way home from a part-time job at a convenience store and killed his opponent with a hammer. The only witness put blood on his hands again as he demanded money in exchange for silence. High school students who got into trouble in the dark streets at night, prosecutors who kidnapped at random… Each killer is a villain who committed crimes in the past and never reflected on them. To Lee Tang (Choi Woo-sik) in Netflix’s “Killer & Difficulty,” he seems to be able to detect a villain. But this supernatural power doesn’t seem pleasant. Why.
Actor Choi Woo-sik, who played Lee Tang, told Cookie News at a cafe in Sogyeok-dong, Seoul on Wednesday. “I thought Lee Tang moved forward desperate as she was on the brink. I focused on how an ordinary college student would feel after committing a murder and what kind of face he would have. Lee Tang said, “I thought he could not make a compromise by saying, ‘You can kill that person,’ even though he committed the murder. Lee expressed Lee Tang as a person who seems to have given up on life and would accept even if he is caught by police tomorrow.”
He was puzzled when he saw Lee as a “dark hero.” Director Lee Chang-hee, who directed the drama based on an adaptation of the same webtoon, said in an interview that he did not think of a dark hero in the planning stage. Discrimination is a consequential story. Lee’s belief in justice and the logic that his murder is just are vague. Rather, Lee explains that Lee Tang is a character who asks questions to the end whether it is an ability or a coincidence.
Choi’s opinion was similar. “If it were a dark hero, I wouldn’t tell Novin (Kim Yo-han) that he was scared. The last scene with Do-jang (Son Seok-gu) must have been different, too.” Novin is an assistant who helps Lee-tang kill him, and Do-jang is a detective who pursues Lee-tang. In the last episode, Lee Tang aims the gun of Do-jang in his head, saying, “I don’t think it’ll end forever if I don’t finish what I did.” “Challenge.” When a gun is not loaded with bullets, it only makes futile sounds. Even in the face of miraculous good fortune, Lee Tang cries in fear. It shows the weakness of an “ordinary college student” that Choi emphasized. “If a person committed a murder, I should listen to the killer’s story,” Lee said.
There were many characters who condemned wrongdoers outside the judicial system, but among them, Lee Tang seems to be a mutant. Is that why? Choi looked back, saying, “I was more nervous and worried than ever before until the work was released.” It is said that Lee often asked the director questions because he did not have many lines to use, even though he experienced a big change of mind. “The grammar-destroying approach” (Director Lee) was also different, as he often used scene conversions and the story unfolds in a nonlinear way. “I was worried about how to connect and express my emotions with the previous scene,” but he said that it was refreshing and unique.
Things that you might have grown as much as you bumped into and broke. The young actor who swept the Best New Actor award in his first feature film and stepped on the red carpet for the Academy Awards in “Parasite” (director Bong Joon-ho) seemed strict with himself. Nevertheless, he couldn’t read his anxiety as he said, “Someday, when I act strangely, I will use an image that doesn’t suit me.” “There was always something to learn at any site,” Choi said.
“I am not sure about my acting. I was lucky when I was shooting a drama that I was praised for doing well. Actually, I felt dizzy when I heard that I could see myself in Parasite or Giant during the press conference. Have I ever struggled so hard to show another face? My face has to be very different from before, but am I growing up? I believe that such a question gives me something to worry about and grows me at the same time.”
