There’s more to come from Ji Chang-wook
Many have called The K2 a career-defining project
for its star, Ji Chang-wook, but the 29-year-old would beg to
differ. Indeed, he ran his body ragged for the role of a war mercenary turned
into a bodyguard-for-hire, learning Korean, Russian, Japanese and Brazilian
martial arts techniques and performing his own stunts, but Ji refuses to
consider the moderately successful tvN drama a lifetime achievement.
The role of Kim Je-ha demanded a lot from him, and not just physically: He
was in a constant battle of wills with veteran actress Song Yoon-ah,
who played Choi Yoo-jin, the presidential candidate’s wife he was hired to
protect, and had a melodramatic loveline with Yoon-ah, who
took on the role of Go Anna, a lonely, abandoned young woman who grew up
isolated from society.“I really enjoyed working with the two Yoon-ahs. Both characters were so different and that made it even more enjoyable. With Yoo-jin, I always had to stay on my toes and we had a battle of wills. It was fun because we were playing mind games, whereas my scenes with Anna were looser. They felt like scenes from a rom-com. We had a lot of fun developing the scenes on set.”
