The Marvel of Ji Chang Wook

“I stand corrected!” in a recent article I wrote that South Korean actor, Ji Chang Wook, was at his best when he played the role of an action hero. However, after watching him in the role of Choi Dae-Hyun, a convenience store owner in ‘Backstreet Rookie’, I am charmed by his ability to be so versatile with his acting skills.

In ‘Five Fingers’ I despised Yoo In-Ha.

In ‘The K2 I’ wanted Kim Je-Ha to rescue me, and

In ‘Backstreet Rookie’ I want to be Choi Dae-Hyun.

All in all, the very talented Ji Chang Wook acting pleases more fans than he knows.

Speaking talented actor, I must also mention actress Kim You-Jung, who plays Jung Saet-Byul in Backstreet Rookie. Since an early age, she has had only one romantic interest and that Choi Dae-Hyun, and has gone to work as a part-timer in the hope of winning him for herself.

Kim You-Jung had impressively starred in such works as ‘Cain and Abel’, ‘Commitment’, and’ Love in the Moonlight’. She started out as a child star.

You can watch Ji Chang Wook and Kim You-Jung in ‘Backstreet Rookie’ (2020) at KissAsian.

 

In the video below Ji Chang Wook talks about a day in his city of Seoul.

Translation:

I walk along the road

Break and turn the alley and continue through another alley to digging into the road that unfolds in front of my eyes.
The sound of a dog that noticed an unknown step in the daytime, a small intersection where alleys and alleys meet, the high buildings surrounded over there like mountains, a store with neon signs flashing.

Passing through a small record shop, where graceful notes roll, I encounter raindrops pattering, older melodies coming out of old cars, and the wind that passes through my hair.

Nothing, but also everything.

We have two ways to live life: One is to look at the world as if nothing is a miracle, and the other is to look at the world as if everything is a miracle.

So today, I walk in my little city.
