[interview] Good Doctor Joo Won is now Acting Genius. 


gd1_zps940c3eaa.jpg


In KBS's Medical Drama Good Doctor, Joo Won successfully managed to portray to perfection the role of autistic savant Park Shi On. In less than 4 years since his debut, each of his dramas has reinforced the notion that Joo Won is a reliable actor. 
Joo Won debuted in 2010 through the drama Baker King Kim Tak Gu. In less than 4 years since then, Joo Won has shown impressive progress in his performance as compared to his peers. Each of the dramas Joo Won has taken part in have served to reinforce the notion that Joo Won is a reliable and trustworthy actor. 
When Joo Won first decided to take the role of Park Shi On, the people around him said that it was a role that evoked people's memories of Jo Seung Woo in the movie Marathon and Shin Hyun Jun in Barefoot Ki Bong. People asked if Joo Won would create a role similar to those that had been portrayed. However, Joo Won's portrayal of the autistic Park Shi On was starkly different from previous portrayals of people suffering from autism. 
The Park Shi On that Joo Won created was a person whose mannerisms were almost similar to ordinary folks and was cuter and gentler than anyone else. Park Shi On was just another person in the background, he didn't stand out by being obviously autistic. It was because of an actor named Joo Won that the world sat up, took notice and changed their views on autistic children. 
Joo Won has said: "The biggest topic on my mind was how to portray this autistic youth in a likeable manner." Even though this was a role that caused Joo Won a lot of headaches, as an actor, Joo Won learnt a lot from Good Doctor.
"Good Doctor is a drama that caused me a lot of headaches. Paediatric surgeon, autistic, savant, stunted emotional growth. So many of these qualities mashed into one character meant that I had a lot to think of and prepare for. My own first thoughts were really "Even if he received extremely excellent education, was it even possible for him to become a doctor?" If he found a career in art or music, that may still be viable but I always doubted if it was possible to cure people suffering from autism. This led me to the conclusion that to be able to perform well, I needed to grasp the degree of Shi On's disability." 
Defying everyone's expectations, Joo Won did not portray Park Shi On, who dream since young was to become a paediatric surgeon, as someone who keeps blinking his eyes and was unable to express his own views due to his stunted emotional growth to represent an autistic person. In his portrayal, Joo Won did not give off a "I've seen this type of character somewhere else" vibe. Rather, Joo Won graced us with a Park Shi On whose behavioural pattern was something that was never seen in drama portrayals of autistic persons. 
"When we held our script readings, Joo Sang Wook hyung was very shocked that I was reading my lines as a normal person would, since he expected me to do something along the lines of Ki Bong or Cho Won. Just as I had thought of autistic person earlier when I first received the script, it was only natural that this was what others would think too. If I were to portray Shi On in accordance with what other actors had done, then I would not have been able to show Shi On's maturing process. The PD and writer said that Shi On's profession was a doctor and that I had to portray him such that he wasn't too different from non-autistic persons. At that point in time I thought my troubles would be never ending but unknowingly, my troubles disappeared."
"In Korean dramas, this drama was the first to use paediatric surgeons as the backdrop to the story. It was due to this that when I first started preparing for the role and up to the point when we started filming, I gave my all. It was only natural that I developed an affection for paediatric surgery and little children."
"Through Good Doctor's filming, I also got to understand better many practical problems which we faced. It was said that there were only 9 paediatric surgeons in our country. I really didn't know that there were so few of them. I started to understand why there was the saying of 'Babies could die due to a mere cold'. Paediatric surgery has been a specialised field in our country for 5 years...I hope the systems available for paediatric surgery will be improved upon. Autism can also be cured, but in this country we all think 'It's not possible' and we retreat from this possibility, thereby losing out on the potential treatments. Overseas, there are much better facilities and support systems which apparently, while treating autistic children, can at the same time unearth the children's hidden talents. It would be great if our regressive views and lack of facilities could change for the better."
In relation to Shi On's low sociability skills which improved through the course of the drama, Joo Won had this to say: "It is true that, just as Shi On said, autistic children are very apt at sensing that people dislike them. This is why when Professor Kim Do Han and Yoon Seo didn't feel too comfortable around Shi On, he was able to sense this. But one day he felt that people liked him and that is when he started to change. This was something which mattered a lot to me and was the centre of my performance. It's the feeling of people feeling that they have been healed by Shi On and being moved by him."
There aren't too many other actors out there who will hear the phrase "When are you going to rest" more than Joo Won. Ever since his debut, Joo Won has been involved in movies, dramas, variety programmes and musicals. Joo Won has been working non stop for 4 years. When asked if it was time for him to take a break, Joo Won's expression was one of puzzlement. 
"I can't imagine it. It's only natural if I want to rest because I'm tired but if you really give me time off to rest suddenly, I will feel very unsettled. The 2nd day after Good Doctor ended, I was to to go for my musical rehearsals. I went to it without any hesitation. I feel very good when I am at my workplace. Of course, it would probably be good to take a break. Maybe I'll have to take one now to find out (bursts out laughing)."
After wrapping up for his 5th drama Good Doctor, Joo Won is presently in the midst of rehearsing for the musical Ghost which premiers in November 2013. Thereafter, in December 2013, the rom com movie which Joo Won filmed with Kim Ah Joong, Catch Me, is slated to premier.
