No wonder there was no news on Kingmaker; they were having issues with the distributing company. Now that Megabox is picking it up, let's hope things go smoothly from here and they can finish shooting quickly. I want him to confirm his next drama soon.

Thanks for the info. I was wondering why there's no further news about Kingmaker...

I hope everything will run smoothly too and the schedule won't clash with Parasite promotion...

He looks so boyish, too. Hoping the Korean audience will like Bad Police, but I am a bit worried.

He said he's currently filming Kingmaker and in a low carb diet to fit the character...

 

Nah, I don't believe you, LSKnim, until I see shirtless photos of you 

 

Just kidding... Please stay healthy!

I've read a review somewhere (forget to save the link, I'll add later) that the movie was good until 2/3 of the movie, then it's started to lose focus... But they said his acting is impressive...

Seems like the movie is not very well received...

I agree with you that the reviews I have read so far have not been very glowing. They all seemed to say the story seems forced instead of developing naturally. The use of the Sewol disaster was a risk, and the PD knew that. This one even points out that LSK's own persona came out a little too strong and he did not disappear into the role.  Still hoping it would do decently at the box office.

Here's a review saying the film lacks in originality and through no fault of his own, LSK's role came out looking much like the one in A Hard Day.

This is a pretty nice review...

But, it's true that the theme is nothing new... And too bad that Cho Pil Ho as a character doesn't offer something fresh...

Found some reviews in English

Like other reviews, they criticized the movie....

But, at least they didn't speak bad about LSK's acting...

 

Anyway, I think the official English title is pretty cool Jo Pil Ho : The Dawning Rage

I am confused. Did they change the official title of the movie?

Yes, it seemed like they did. Jo Pil Ho : the Dawning Rage is what's written on the tickets...

Is he confirmed for that JTBC drama after all? Can we do the happy dance yet?

 

[Interview] "Jo Pil-ho: The Dawning Rage" Star Lee Sun-kyun Is Busy in Film 

 

Actor Lee Sun-kyun interviewed regarding his latest film, "Jo Pil-ho: The Dawning Rage".

 

He's been busy with the release of his latest film and he's going to start filming "Kingmaker: The Fox of the Election" in April. "Kingmaker: The Fox of the Election" is about a politician who dreamed of being president and a man crafted genius strategies in the 1960s to the 70s.

Lee Sun-kyun says, "The movie starts production in March and we start filming in April. This is my first period piece. It's going to be an important movie for me and I feel the weight of the pressure. I am working with such amazing cast and staff, but I have to do well for them. I feel anxious".

"Kingmaker: The Fox of the Election" stars by Sol Kyung-gu, Lee Sun-kyun, and Yoo Jae-myung. As a result, they have to go through the process of competing with other movies starring the same actors. Sol Kyung-goo alone starred in "Jo Pil-ho: The Dawning Rage" and "Idol" which come out on the same day. 10 actors from the movies "Idol", "Jo Pil-ho: The Dawning Rage" and "Money" are starring in "Kingmaker: The Fox of the Election".

Lee Sun-kyun says, "10 actors from three different movies star in "Kingmaker: The Fox of the Election", so I can't ask them to watch. All three movies are good movies and hopefully they create a synergy of success".

Lee Sun-kyun is also awaiting the release of director Bong Joon-ho's "Parasite". In a family where everyone is unemployed, their only hope Gi-woo (Choi Wooshik) goes for a tutor interview at Mr. Park's (Lee Sun-kyun). About this film, Lee Sun-kyun says, "I am sure it will receive good results because we have a trustworthy ally on board".

Expectation for the Cannes is likely as it is directed by Bong Joon-ho. "I saw the line-up of directors for the Cannes this year and it was amazing. There is a chat group and news comes up every day. Wooshik makes a list of directors from Canada and sends them. I would like to go but I would have to check my movie schedule first".

Lee Sun-kyun is also appearing in the JTBC drama "Prosecutor Civil War", which comes out in November and he says, "I think I can fit in about 4 pieces this year".

Meanwhile, "Jo Pil-ho: The Dawning Rage" is a story about a bad cop standing up to an even worse society.

On the other hand, I am so disappointed and sad his new movie tanked at the box office.   He should go back to his roots and only movies about relationships now. Lol.
