ROLES: The Past, The Present... and the Future

YES! This day, it is something that might wake the feelings of my fellow fans, a topic that sometimes we want and we don't want to talk about.. specially if it involves dear dear Lee Jun Ki.

Oh how handsome he is!

a South Korean actor, model and singer, often regarded as a kkonminam ("flower boy") icon (line from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lee_Joon-gi). 

Because of his portrayal as an effeminate clown in the film "The King and the Clown" that made it one of the highest-grossing domestic films in South Korea, his career rose to fame. Projects poured! series, films, tv guestings, even had a chance to showcase his other talents. And the best of all, he became famous overseas (if he didn't, we would not be able to know him at all in this state, so we should thank him for doing his best!)He had good roles in his movies and his tv series. But I was wondering, and I hope some of the fans as well... How would it be if he was to take roles that we never expected before? Would he pull it off? Would it suit him?

The Past 
(roles from his film participation)

I remember one role he portrayed, he was only a supporting character at that time, named as Dong Wan from the movie "Flying Boys", forced to join with his friends in a Ballet class then his father caught him in the act...
I never see him as a flower boy in this film. REALLY!! because his role was too comedic, (THIS IS IT!!) specially with the ballet tights scene with the leading actor and to note! he was caught red handed by his father, doing arabeque.. in his black unitard (OH YES!! He did wore a unitard in this film hahahaha such a spoiler for those who haven't seen the movie). It was amazing that he could do comedic acts that sets aside his flower boy image.

Another one that I have already talked into one of my fellow admins in JG Philippines, the film "May 18".

Of course, he did have enough exposure on this film not until the half of the movie.. I really would like to make a review on the movie because it was a wonderful yet gruesome and sad story.. if you happen to wonder what is it all about.. maybe you should see the full movie..
His role is somehow refreshing at first... in a highschool uniform he was strikingly handsome. With every smile in every scene he has (except for the part that I don't even want to mention...) you will assume that nothing bad would happen. Surprisingly, the scene that I haven't mention, clearly shows the other side of his acting skills.. 

The other roles are expected to be portrayed by him of course, Virgin Snow is one of that. (I know, I know.. handsome, cute, lovable, all wonderful words that can describe him and his portrayal with that movie).  


[Added roles] 

Just to mention a few roles on some films he participated into, such as a rebellious high school student who uses his fighting skills to train a father who would like to take revenge by beating up his daughter's tormentor. I know he did a big participation on this film and had his story to tell  too but I was too consumed with the struggles of the father and of the unfair justice to him and his daughter after the incident (sucks, the system of the rich and everything..)

Of course, I do have to mention also his role on the film "The Hotel Venus" (gonna make a review on it one of these days) where he wanted to be a strong man and dreamed to be a hitman in the future (now that is creepy, of all dreams, why should it be a HITMAN?)

Not so Present, but current roles (I don't consider it as a past though since it is still a fresh act after his military service).

He did a portrayal in the Joseon era (Arang and the Magistrate) which by the way suits him so well. Then there's Tae San (Two Weeks), a man who was wronged for a crime he didn't even do and who didn't know he is a certified FATHER because he thought his baby was gone years ago, was living yet struggling for her life because of leukemia. (That role was a kicker, knowingly that JG oppa in real life, is not even a father, and I was astonished by it, he really did a great job!)

Now what about this upcoming projects? The future roles?

I, your blogger, is not a skeptic person. I do believe he could pull off other characters as well. He did say in some interviews that he wanted to portray a character that differs from the characters he have portrayed before... Since acting is his passion and he wants to broaden his knowledge in acting, JG oppa possibly considers taking unexpected roles one at a time.For a good looking guy, these are the thoughts that I have if he ever took in characters that may shock other fans.. but we never know.. Decisions will always be in the hands of JG oppa and his team.

Please do not hate me for some roles, He doesn't even have to do it of course.

1. A completely bad person, not just an underling.. to make it short, A VILLAIN. but not just a villain of course... You know, there a lot of writers who wrote stories of villains as the main character... his SWEENY TODD photo shoot of him gave me that idea of course.

2. A Psychopath.. but of course the whole story should be sensible, Just to have an understanding why he ended up... a psychopath.

3. A King. YEP! he already portrayed a nobleman who became an ordinary man (Iljimae), then a nobleman but was considered illegitimate. (in my understanding... cursed Lord Choi's way of thinking tsk!) His more manly now so a handsome king would be good (blushing).

4. A wealthy business man, more likely a company president ,  CEO (if you noticed, the most wealthiest character he had already possesed was on Iljimae (but he was young on that account), on Arang and the Magistrate and on My Girl... so I think his wealthy level side should have gone up.


There are lots of characters to think of.. I know you have your ideas as well.. would you consider it to be portrayed by JG oppa?
