Crafting a Colorful Villain

Instead of playing into the predictable tropes of a privileged antagonist, Ryu Kyung-soo sought to inject nuance and complexity into Cho Hoon.

Comparisons were drawn between Cho Hoon and Cho Tae-oh, a memorable villain from the film ‘Veteran,’ but Ryu Kyung-soo remained unfazed.

I don’t know if it’s good or bad.Ha ha. I didn’t want to overlap the character. I tried to do well in the opposition party. His focus remained on delivering a performance that served the narrative of ‘Opposition’ without relying on familiar tropes.

I’m attracted to a character that can be burned and burned. I’m interested in the characters that can be fun and good ingredients. I feel attractive to the side that I can try. I want to do that. I want to go home after the shooting. there is.
