Actor Ryu Seung Ryong has reunited with writer Bae Se Young from the movie "Extreme Job" and Jin Seong Kyu (INFINITE) to return with "Amazon Water of Life."
Ryu Seung Ryong has appeared in films such as "All About My Wife," "Miracle in Cell No. 7," "Extreme Job," and "Romance in the Genre," as well as Netflix.
He is known as a "comedy craftsman" through his work on the IX series "Dak Gangjeong" and other dramas. Furthermore, his works "Extreme Job" and "Miracle in Cell No. 7" were the first and second highest-grossing comedy films of all time.
In a recent interview at a cafe in Seogyeok-dong, Jongno-gu, Seoul, Ryu Seung Ryong said that he is an actor who is good at comical acting and that he has a strong connection with Kang Ha.
The list includes Nur, Ahn Jae Hong, Yoo Hae Jin, and Cho Jung Seok. "Amazon Life Water" is about Jin Bong (Ryu Soo), a former national archery representative who is being laid off at home and at work.
The story revolves around the encounter between the translator Pansik (played by Jin Seong Kyu (INFINITE)) and the trio of Amazons who are born with the skill of archery.
"My favorite comedy is the one I was influenced by director Jang Jin. I like situational comedies and comedy with a simple story.
I like comedies that don't quite fit together. Just as there are different kinds of tears, there are also many different kinds of laughs. There are many ways to express things.
"I think the acting style of 'Sui' is a little different. This time, there were foreign actors and there were many comedy scenes with several people, so we had a lot of discussions and were very worried about how to deal with them.
I found the key points. I did a lot of things with a craftsman-like spirit, doing each scene this way and that way. The foreign actors were so serious that Jin-bum (Ryu Seung Ryong) was a bit absent-minded.
Prior to this, Ryu Seung Ryong had confessed at a media preview, "I was so worried about my comedic acting that I even cried."
"Comedic acting is still difficult and tough. It's as hard as a drop of cold brew. It's not just about us laughing on set, but about the audience laughing too.
It takes time to complete, so that part is very nerve-wracking. It's just as physically exhausting as an action movie. It's hard to grasp the invisible aura, and I worry about whether this is the best I can do.
Ryu Seung Ryong recently commented that there are too many actors who are good at comical acting. "Cho Jung Seok and Yoo Hae Jin are also very good, and Kang Ha Neul is very funny.
It's funny. When we worked together in "Pyongyang Castle," he was serious, but in "Pirates: The Lost Treasure of the Royal Family" and "30 Days," he was funny, which surprised me. Ahn Jae Hong is like that, and Ko Kyung Pyo
There are a lot of really interesting actors, such as Seong Kyu (INFINITE). Director Changmin Joo often said, "It's close to okay, but it's not okay," and the same goes for comedy.
I have to maintain a good feeling and look at things objectively, so it's overwhelming."
