[Interview] Kang Ji-hwan, "It's been a long journey in "Monster - 2016""

2016/09/29

The eight month long "Monster - 2016" wasn't easy for veteran actor Kang Ji-hwan as well. He had to take on the weight of a lead character, the heavy story line, the frequent action scenes and the injuries that came along with it. "Monster - 2016" was a lot of pressure for him. However, he stood strong and "Monster - 2016" ended successfully.

In an interview with the actor, he said, "I don't know how time went by while filming "Monster - 2016". It's been about ten days now. I've never done a 50 episode drama before and it was tough mentally and physically but there were good people around me to help me through it".

Kang Ji-hwan took on the role of Kang Ki-tan, a man who became a monster after his life and family were taken by a powerful force. To make his character look realistic, he didn't even mind eating dog food. His "Revenge" performance had already been proven in the dramas "Big Man" and "Incarnation of Money".

"I love bringing out the happiness and sadness while I'm acting. I didn't mean to, but I've done three dramas in the same category. When I decide on a character, I don't look at one thing, rather I look at the complicated elements of a character's feelings. However, I think I have to watch out next time when I look at a drama".

Kang Ji-hwan suffered from injuries. He was in an accident while transferring to the set and even got burnt at some point. The continuous late nights on the set brought him to the end of exhaustion as well.

"It was really rough. The accidents and the injuries were the toughest part. We stood up so many nights until about the thirtieth episode. I had a big bag of clothes with me even though we were shooting in Seoul, close to where I live. I really thought I was becoming a "Monster"".

However, his co-stars were of great comfort to him, especially Seong Yoo-ri. They have worked together twice before this in "Hong Gil Dong" and "Runway Cop".

"I can't say I don't feel the pressure as the leading character. But Seong Yoo-ri was always there by me, lifting me up whenever I needed it. It's not all the time you run into the same person this often, but I think we are meant to be".

"Monster - 2016" stayed around 8~10% thanks to Lee Deok-hwa, Jeong Bo-seok and Jeong Woong-in too. The drama competed with 3 other broadcasting companies and it didn't waver.

"When "Monster - 2016" first came out, "Doctors" was released soon after so it affected the viewing percentage a little but soon we had a firm base of viewers that were supporting us and only us. I think a lot of the middle aged viewers liked the drama more. We weren't affected by the Rio Olympics too".

Kang Ji-hwan strongly said no when we asked him if he ever thought of being in another 50-episode drama.

"I don't think so. Maybe something shorter. I learned a lot through this opportunity and I'll be back soon enough".

@my2centsworth agree with you on the death sentence and the bit about KT asking the President to mete out a death penalty to BIJ.  I think BIJ would have suffered more if he were to live in prison. But then again he could be paroled in a few years and be out doing nasty things all over again. You have to keep in mind that he did killed KT's parents, aunt and OSY's brother without even batting an eye and he would have killed again if given the chance. I think KT needed to keep that monster in check permanently. 

Sorry I haven't answer you before now, but went on business trip, stopped by to see an old friend and found her with troubles. Stay with her for a while and helped her get thru it. Back now and playing catch-up with everyone and all my dramas. It's sounds crazy, but I still miss this drama. Not sure why, but think of it often.  Anyway....hope all is well with you. Will look for you later on after I have finished reading and watching my missed esps. Take care....see you soon.

Thought about you first and came into here to say one last good bye and thanks for all you devotion to this forum. Strange but I miss this drama.
