Jang Hang-joon, director of "The Man Who Lives with the King," expressed his gratitude to the actors.
On the 21st, a press distribution preview of the movie "The Man Who Lives with the King" (director Jang Hang-joon) was held at Megabox COEX in Gangnam-gu, Seoul. Director Jang Hang-joon and actor Yoo Hae-jin, Park Ji-hoon, Yoo Ji-tae, and Kim Min-mi, former director of the show, attended the meeting to talk about various things.
"The Man Who Lives with the King" is the story of Cheongryeongpo in 1457, a village chief who claimed to be exiled for the revival of the village, and a young predecessor who was expelled from the throne and exiled.
Director Jang Hang-joon said, "There were many history advisory professors even before the work was prepared. "I needed to ask them for advice, to what extent it was real, to what extent it was recorded, what among the numerous theories about King Danjong's death should be taken, and how it should be connected," he said.
"A character named Eom Heung-do was recorded in the Annals for about two short lines. I needed imagination to dramatize that short record, and I struggled quite a bit."
In particular, "The Man Who Lives with the King" is a work in which actors' acting skills, led by Yoo Hae-jin and Park Ji-hoon, lead the immersion throughout the 117-minute running time. Director Jang Hang-joon said, "I thought he was a coach who was overthrown while working with the actors."
He continued, "It was like that on the spot, and I cast it based on my acting skills. I didn't care about the popularity, but I watched the character's synchronization and acting, and while editing, I thought, 'The casting went well,' and I'm just so grateful. I am grateful that (the actors) have been with me in these good times," he said.
