Kim Rae Won Changes from His Adorable Image and Plays a Thug in “Mr. Socrates”

Popular star Kim Rae Won plays a bad richard simmons role in his new movie “Mr. Socrates”. His 180 degree change in image reveals clearly his strong will to show people that he’s an actor rather than a star.

“Can he play a thug role well?” This is a question out of suspicion. Kim Rae Won’s face is almost perfect as a sculpture. Since he became popular with “Attic Cat”, viewers have always loved his adorable image. He’s cute and playful. In the TV series “Love Story in Harvard”, Kim Rae Won was still a good-looking and straight college student.

But in “Mr. Socrates” scheduled for premiere on Nov 10, he’s changed to a hateful thug, Ku Dong Hyuck. He extinguished a cigarette with his tongue, swear words continuously spilling out of his mouth. He cheated his father who’s in jail to get his money; he’s totally no respect for any moral values.

“It’s like I’ve been always eating cooked meat and this is the first time I taste raw meat. It’s a very new and strange experience.”

Kim Rae Won has always been very serious with his work. He’s famous for studying his scripts so thoroughly. This time he has thrown his whole self into the filming sets. He’s been keeping this Ku Dong Hyuck feeling throughout the 2 months of filming. When he didn’t feel right, he’d stop working, for 2 hours, 3 hours, just to discuss with the director.

Finally, the movie is well liked. Response from the previews is good. Suspicious viewers revealed their very surprised looks. Everyone is surprised by a Kim Rae Won who looks 100% like a thug with very convincing expressions and behavior.

“Mr. Socrates” Stills

The lines of the scene when he said bad things to an old man in the underground train are 100% on site inspiration. The one he extinguished the cigarette with is tongue was not rehearsed but shot right away. During the process when KDH was trained by the criminal ring to become a cop, the scene that he’s tortured is so vivid. He was hung upside down from the ceiling and dumped into water. The crew kept asking him to use a substitute actor for this but he insisted on finishing that himself. In the middle of the story, KDH had a 1-to-many fight with gangsters. In all the fast punching and kicking scenes, he did those all by himself with no stunt.

“If I’m obsessed with one thing, I’ll do it with my life.” For his physical training, he spent 5-6 hours a day. He started playing golf 3 weeks ago and he’s reached the 90 strokes standard. As he’s been living alone since 14, his cooking skills have standards above people who take cooking as a hobby. When he goes fishing, he can make sashimi with the fish he’s caught on site. He always go to 淩晨 seafood market to buy high quality seafood to make dishes. Sometimes just to buy some rare mushroom (松茸), he goes to the village markets for a walk.

His best cooking skill is shown in the “soft stewed soup” (a soup cooked with squids and other ingredients). According to his manager who’s tasted that, he can make it with the least ingredients and it has a light but very good taste. KRW’s acting is just like this soup, without any pretence, and with addition to his sincerity, his image on screen impressed viewers strongly with a lasting charm. Pleased viewers tend to think of his performance again and again.

heehee.. hyu is HYU 007 from RWisland... I think you’re soompi PChoi 007. :D

thanks so much for translating the news for us. Couldn’t thank you enough. Very well done and good job.

Reading this news make me feel so happy, now people are amazed by his total image transform. Heehee.. I like guy who can cook. I guess not many guy cooks right? I mean among my friend, out of 10, only 2 or 3 can cook well. (I’m excluding those who career are “Chef”)

I hope this is another breakthrough for him. Don't know why, I'm just worried for the rating, don’t know how this affect him. But one thing for sure... his excellent acting is already a great victory. No matter what the rating is, I will fully support "Mr. Socrates". Now knowing that his preview having good comments. I really feel very happy for him.

Next waiting for another good news for him. Yes…. "Mr. Socrates”… fighting…. cross finger praying.... for high rating, receiving award. He's always the best to us.
