130102 Movie Director Jo Won Hee Mentioned Yoochun Again on EBS FM
I have been wanting to talk more about Jo Won Hee as his profile and his interest on actor Yoochun is very surprising and amusing.
Movie Director Jo Won Hee again mentioned Yoochun today when he talked about the French Historical novel Les Misérables in his Book Café show on EBS. He said he thought of casting Yoochun if he can remake the movie. He said “Yoochun has a face having both for genius like feeling and sorrow. People with handsome faces, giving sad feeling at the same time are rare”
Les Misérables is considered one of the greatest works in 19th century written by Victor Hugo.
Examining the nature of law and grace, the novel elaborates upon the history of France, the architecture and urban design of Paris, politics, moral philosophy, antimonarchism, justice, religion, and the types and nature of romantic and familial love. Les Misérables has been popularized through numerous stage adaptations, including a musical (1980–1985, 1985–2003, 2006–2008), its 2012 film version, and several other films.

The surprising thing is not that Cho Won Hee adores Yoochun because he has been talking about Yoochun a lot this year (check translation 1 + 2), also wrote many critics on Yoochun’s performance as an actor, and tweeting congratulations every time Yoochun won awards. The thing that amuses me the most is that Cho Won Hee and Yoochun seem to be in 2 different worlds apart.
Cho Won Hee’s first work is Desire to Kill (2010) written and directed by himself and Kim Sang Hwa, acted by Cheon Ho-Jin, Yu Hae-Jin. Just looking at the name, you can tell what type of work it is. Desire to Kill as his debut movie can be considered one extremely heavy work and it is very picky on audience. IMBd rating is 6,9/10 but Rotten Tomato rating seems to be high as it is well loved by people who know a lot about filming art.
Desire to Kill is the debut feature by Owen Cho and Kim Sang-Hwa but you would never know it because this thriller is so well put together with such flair and smart writing it makes many other films from more experienced directors look creatively barren. ( Read full review at 3)
This approach suits the film down to a tee and allows viewers to thoroughly revel in the comedy of proceedings while attempting to piece together for themselves the truth behind Min-ho and Sang-eob’s hatred of each other. On both these counts, Desire to Kill deserves credit for its ingenuity and though the individual brutal altercations are clearly engineered deliberately for maximum comedic effect, they nonetheless succeed with ease without ever feeling predictable.
Desire to Kill references some fairly serious social themes within a quirky and genuinely funny black comedy come psychological thriller, accenting and underlining each with copious amounts of bloody violence throughout. (Read full review at 4)
The fact that he appreciates Yoochun who was an idol and his works which are pretty much easier and trendier to general audiences (Yoochun has been only doing dramas so far) doesn’t necessary prove that Yoochun is an great fabulous breathtaking genius actor. However the fact that some people in the professional industry see the great potential in Yoochun is more than enough to say something and to be appreciated by us. More than any award.
Whether you are a fan or not, Yoochun’s talent, efforts, charms and star power already reserve him a place in the acting industry and he will continue to work harder in the future to keep his spot.

Ppl, did you see that? A movie director is singing praises now~ XD
If a director mentioned an actor once.. he likes the actor..
If he mentioned the actor more than once.. that means he really adores him, hahaha..
First writers who are admirers, now director’s turn.. nice! This is definitely better than awards.
“He said he thought of casting Yoochun if he can remake the movie.”
Wow, this is not only praising. He’s beginning to put things into perspective already, haha..
PD-nim, what’s stopping you? Make it happen, yes??? XDDD
“Yoochun has a face having both for genius like feeling and sorrow. People with handsome faces, giving sad feeling at the same time are rare”
We all know that he’s of rare species, glad to know that you are aware of that too, PD-nim.
of course, our Chunnie, no word enough to decribe him
Glad to know that we are not alone in seeing potential in him. Hope to see him in a good movie someday
oppaa fly higher, cause the sky is your limit ^_______^
“First writers who are admirers, now director’s turn.. nice! ”
@Bubbly.,now we just need a producer to put in the money.
If he acts in Les Miserables, I bet it will be a huge commercial success.
YC must choose his DEBUT MOVIE wisely., the way he chose SKKS as his debit drama. So far, SKKS has garnered him 7 awards – the highest for the dramas he made. Sadly ,he deserves more recognition fo his best work to-date, “Missing You”.

“..now we just need a producer to put in the money.”
Just why am I not born filthy rich so that I can be that producer? Why, oh why?? XDDD
“YC must choose his DEBUT MOVIE wisely, the way he chose SKKS as his debut drama.”
You know what? I think that’s exactly what he’s doing now!
Coz I don’t believe he has got zero offer to do movies todate, after all his success in the drama department.
It’s just that I think he is not the kind of actor that will accept any offer that comes his way just because he wants to act in a movie.
He will choose wisely, no doubt about that.
And I guess, he’ll only enter the movieland when he’s sure he’s ready for it. I’ve faith in this baby.

this, i agree..unfortunately “Missing You” didn’t do well in rating. In korea Rating is very important for actor/actress to received award.
