I had a korean film class at my university and we saw JSA. I never knew Lee Byung Hun was in it!! The guy looked so familiar, I just couldn't get my finger on who it was because he was so young.
Damn, his english is really good for someone who only studied it in high school. Let this guy live in the U.S for a few years and he will probably sound like an American
@HTC2971 I know, right? I (for the first few seconds) thought he was born and raised in Sothern Cali. Yeah, his English is GREAT! It's VERY difficult for Asians, who have little to no exposure to English, to pronpunce the 'L' sound and 'W.' He's a MASTER!!! Well done, mate! Well done! - J
The big names in Korean movie industry knock on the door of Hollywood in the past. None of them were really successfull. And I respect Lee Byung Hun for his effort on his preparation. So far, he has been the most successfull in the states among South Korean actors. It's not easy for them to do study when they can just enjoy being gods in Korea, getting any girl they want.
Another very good interview... really interesting that he talks about his taxi experience, I'm a big fan of your work Lee Byung Hun. Wish you the best of luck.
One of my first Asian dramas was "Beautiful Days" and I've seen all his other roles, but I believe "My Bittersweet Life" was his most gut-wrenching, awe-inspiring performance so far.
"Bittersweet Life" and "The Good, The Bad, The Weird" are both AMAZING movies. I'm American and I've seen them both. For people out there who want to give foreign movies a try, SERIOUSLY. Watch them. This man is unbelievable. If only American actors were as respectable and amazing as him. If you don''t believe me, watch those movies. Seriously, they're beautiful.
"A Bitterwseet Life" and "The Good, The Bad, The Weird" are awesome movies. Lee Byung Hun was great in both films, but i agree with him: his best work is yet to come. Let's wait and see.
They could also interview Min-sik Choi and Kang-ho Song, the greatests south korean actors, in my humble opinion.
hes so cooool :D wow, i never knew he played with baek san from IRIS before in the bittersweet life lol. haha, taxi driver, he sounded like he had so much fun doing it ^^ wonder which girl group that was at the end (?) keke.
thanks for sharing/uploading. his vocabulary is pretty good for some parts. i was like wow! he has my TOTAL respect now, thank goodness for g.i joe, b/c i never would have known who he is, if not for that movie. [and iris haha]
no... no it's not, so don't thumb me down pointlessly.
the double eye lid is very easy to make and a lot of korean celebrities do it during photoshoots. it means that they can honestly say that they've not had plastic surgery on their eyes.
Its more of an action, adventure film but there is bits of comedy in it.
I was slightly disappointed with the film (probably because I had such high expectations before watching due to the rave reviews) but I didnt think it was as great as everyone was saying.
Its basically 2 hr+ of shooting and chasing and has such a basic plot, i only kept watching because of lee byung hun's wonderful acting.
His English speaking is much better than other korean stars.
