[Article] [Special feature] The ever-evolving “beautiful man” Jang Keun Suk! What is the new charm in the drama “Bait [Mikki]”?

Part 1:

The Korean drama “Bait/Mikki'', in which Jang Keun Suk starred for the first time in five years, has been exclusively distributed in advance on U-NEXT, and the DVD will be released sequentially from November 3rd.

In this work, which he chose as his comeback work after being discharged from the military, the past and present are intertwined, and an unpredictable story unfolds, with motifs of numerous fraud cases that actually occurred in South Korea. Jang Keun Suk, who is still loved even after the Korean wave boom, shows off his sweet smile and passionately plays the role of a wild and dark detective. Heo Sung Tae of the drama "Squid Game'' played a role of a huge fraudster.

 

To commemorate the distribution and DVD release, manga artist Ai Kozaki, known for "Asa Hinagu'' and "Cecil's Queen,'' watched “Bait/Mikki.'' How has your impression of Jang Keun Suk as an actor changed over the past ten years since you watched the drama starring Jang Keun Suk a long time ago, “He's handsome?'' Along with the interview, check out the illustrations of the characters! It also contains some spoilers, so be careful if you haven't watched it yet.

Detective Goo Do-han (Jang Keun Suk) and reporter Jeong Na-young (Lee Elijah)...how will these two traumatized people interact with the evil Sang-cheon (Heo Sung-tae)?

Jang Keun Suk full of wildness

──What did you think of the Korean drama “Bait/Mikki”?

I didn't get bored until the end, and kept going one after another, wanting to see the next part as soon as possible, and I really enjoyed it. I think the story is very satisfying as a mystery, with its fast-paced development and the way the story gradually approaches the truth. A murder occurs in the drama, and I was wondering if the main character, detective Goo Do-han, played by Jang Keun-seok, was actually the culprit until about episode 9 (lol). One of the motifs of ``Bait [Mikki]'' is a fraud incident that actually occurred in South Korea.

I thought it was interesting that the fraud case received so much attention. I've been paying attention to Jang Keun Suk since he was “He's a handsome guy.'' He used to have a bit of a mischievous image, perhaps due to the influence of his roles, but in “Bait” he seems more delicate. I think it's becoming. Although the thinness of the lines remains the same, it is still completely different. He really looked like the detective Goo Do-han, so I realized that he was a good actor.

──Jang Keun Suk has the impression that he works in romantic movies, but this time he plays a wild detective with a stubble in a crime thriller. Even for those who like the previous works, I feel that his presence is a big reason why they are drawn to this work, which has a serious development. How have you seen that change?

When I was watching ``He's a handsome man,'' I was like, ``Kabe-don''! Handsome! That was my impression (lol), but I think it took a Copernican turn from there. What used to look like cartoon characters now has a wild atmosphere that makes them look like they're real, but it's difficult to approach them. Maybe the quality of acting is different than before. I think he is an actor who can captivate the viewers even if he hides his previous impressions.

[NEWS]“Bait [Mikki]” Jang Keun Suk’s acting is nailed! A glimpse of the highlight scene making!
"Bait", a super S-class non-stop crime suspense starring Asia's top star Jang Keun Suk and "villain maestro" Heo Sung Tae, is now available exclusively in advance on U-NEXT and released on DVD.

Jang Keun Suk, “Asia Prince” who is the driving force behind the Korean boom and is extremely popular.
After he shed his previous image of a "beautiful man" and played the role of a detective with a wild appearance, sharp insight and action, he quit his job as an elite lawyer specializing in large corporations and became a detective who pursues violent criminals. It's a certain person.

He said that he worked with extraordinary enthusiasm, and not only fans but also foreign media praised him, saying, ``He has created a different dimension in his acting career.''
The person being chased by him is Heo Sung-tae, who made a big impression with his role as a villainous thug in the hit drama "Squid Game."

A must-see to see Korea's two biggest stars co-starring for the first time and their unprecedented chemistry.
In 2023, the person who emerged as the culprit in the murder case was Noh Sang-cheon, the main character in the investment fraud case that ended in 2015 with the death of the mastermind.
Detective Gu Do-han searches for a connection to a past fraud case and begins to suspect his death, but...

Director Kim Hong-sung, a hit maker in the crime genre such as ``Voices: 112 Miracles'', teams up with Kim Jin-wook, the screenwriter of ``Mistresses'', for this film. As this is a work that took a long time to develop, using reference to numerous fraud cases that actually occurred in South Korea, the process of approaching the mysteries of past fraud cases and current serial murder cases does not give you much time to catch your breath. It draws you into the story with a continuous sense of tension.


The movie-like visual beauty, the sense of speed that draws you in from the first episode, and the carefully crafted foreshadowing as the past and present intertwine have many viewers hooked, saying, ``You can't predict even one second ahead!''

Also, don't miss the thrilling action scenes, psychological warfare and mystery warfare in which the people involved in the case, such as the fraud organization, the police, and the fraud victims, repeat deception and bargaining.

 

A new masterpiece of crime suspense with an overwhelming sense of tension and unpredictable twists and turns with maximum addictive potential has been born!
In this work, he plays the role of Gu Do-han, a detective who has both sharp insight and action, so he keeps a smile on his face.
Jang Keun Suk challenged the existing image by portraying a tough man with his beard and leather jacket.
In the video that was released, Jang Keun Suk can be seen giving a realistic performance to the camera, exposing his emotions.

In addition, footage from the filming of the scene where Jang Keun Suk points a gun at a criminal on a motorcycle and secures him in a tunnel at a large-scale filming site where vehicle traffic is restricted has also been released.
DVD-SET 2 also includes the filming scene of the climax scene of the final episode.
Along with the main drama, which has a thrilling and shocking ending, be sure to check out the full video bonus on DVD-SET2.
