This versatile character, who can be both warm and cold, mischievous and serious at the same time, dances freely with actor Kim Woo Bin's expressions, gestures, lines and gazes.
, he says more clearly. "It seems that writer Kim Eun-sook and I have similar brain circuits. (Laughs) When I read the script, I immediately understand why the screenwriter wrote it.
A screenwriter once told me, "You seem to be acting knowing why you wrote this scene."
I think my acting is going well because they trust me." On the 13th, at a location in Jongno-gu, Seoul, Ji of "Magic Lamp"
In "Miss Genie," the genie awakens after a thousand years and meets Ga-young (former "Miss Genie"), who lacks emotion.
It is a fantasy romantic comedy that tells the story of a man who meets a girl named "A" (played by Suzy) and has three wishes granted.
"I used to live today for tomorrow, but recently I've been living today for today," he said of his battle with illness.
Just as the night void left him with enlightenment, "I Wish Upon a Magic Lamp," which completely pours Kim Woo-Bin's "today," rose to the top spot on Netflix's domestic TV series chart immediately after its release on the 3rd.
However, perhaps because of high expectations for Kim Eun-sook's fantasy rock music, which she experienced in "Goblin" (2016), the audience's reviews were poor.
The opinions were clearly divided. Kim Woo-Bin said, "I was really happy when 'I Wish Upon a Magic Lamp' reached number one on Netflix.
Whatever your reaction, we also appreciate you leaving a review in any form."
He said, "It's a film that I've been shooting carefully for nearly a year. This is my job and it's what I spend most of my life doing, so I hope many people will enjoy watching it."
There are many productions and even more roles, but the opportunity to play a genie is rare. Kim Woo Bin received the script two years before filming and has been steadily working on the role of the genie for a long time.
He said, "It takes me a long time to get to know the character," and "Except for sleeping, I only thought about the project."
From complex transfers, characters who alternate between natural and charismatic, and gorgeous costumes and make-up that change without a break, there are many circumstances and the difficulty is high.
It was the result of such time and effort that he was able to perfectly portray the character. After spending such a long time internalizing Genie, he felt that the most important thing was to "make the audience feel like Genie
Kim Woo-Bin said, "This time, while preparing for Genie, I focused on maintaining the flow of emotions that the character has, rather than adding something special.
"The emotions and appearances change suddenly and rapidly, but I thought it would be good if the viewers didn't feel too negative about it, so I focused on making all the situations faithful."
Kim Woo-Bin delivers Arabic lines naturally. It was a difficult challenge to go beyond simply reciting the lines and to convey the emotions.
In the end, the solution he came up with was "infinite repetition." "It was not a language I was familiar with, so it seemed very difficult at first.
It was like another challenge for me, but after listening to each sentence about a thousand times, I was able to memorize it.
There were 52 verses in the script, but I think I've heard it about 52,000 times.
And in doing so, I let the lines remain completely with me."
"A Wish Upon a Magic Lamp" is a work that highlights writer Kim Eun-sook's unique way with words and humor.
Even in a three-dimensional narrative that travels back and forth through time, the TV Series never forgets the power of wit.
It is the actor's role to bring out that quality. The highlight is the protagonist of Kim Eun-sook's hit novel in front of Ga-young.
Genie's "One Man Show" scene parodies the characters. From Choi Young-do from "The Heirs" to Han Ki-joo from "Lovers in Paris" and Moon Dong-woon from "The Glory",
Kim Woo-Bin's wit and cruelty in her portrayals are sure to make you laugh. "I like the humor of screenwriter Kim Eun-sook. I'm also a fan.
It was so much fun when those comical scenes came up, and I even enjoyed thinking about how to make better use of them.
Furthermore, the scriptwriter thought I might dislike some parts that he had removed from the revised version, but I was disappointed and so he added them back. The scriptwriter also said, "Well, have fun doing it once."
The main thread that connects the beginning and end of "I Wish Upon a Magic Lamp" is the romance between Genie and Ga-young. Despite the unfamiliar setting of love between a Genie and a human, the romance between the two unfolds.
Su-soo consistently excites a pleasant thrill from start to finish. This is his first collaboration with Suzy in 10 years, since the TV series "Uncontrollably Fond" (2016).
Kim Woo Bin said, "The first kiss scene at the end of EP3 ignited the spark of love.
I filmed it especially carefully, thinking about that," he said. "It felt like I hadn't seen Suzy in two or three years, and there was no gap when we were able to work together.
I was glad that we could talk about the project right away without having to become close friends."
The TV series concludes with a message about the good nature of human beings. Although he is a psychopath, he lives his life making "good choices" with the efforts of adults to raise him properly.
The final encounter between Gok Ga-young and Genie, who made a deal with God over the fall of humanity, all boils down to the author's faith in the "theory of human goodness."
Kim Woo-Bin, who played Genie and Satan, had a somewhat philosophical view of "human good and evil."
When asked this question, he gave a TV series-like answer: "While filming this, I thought for the first time about what is good and what is bad.
I think what's important is not "how you were born" but "what choices you make in life."
Many people make their own choices, but they know whether they are good or bad choices.
I think that's proof that there is an instinctive goodness in human beings." He was diagnosed with nasopharyngeal cancer in 2017.
After that, he focused on treatment and had a gap of about two and a half years.
