Jang Hang-joon, the director of "The Man Who Lives with the King," said of the casting of Park Ji-hoon and Lee Jun-hyuk, "Heavenly luck."
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.
Park Ji-hoon becomes King Danjong's Lee Hong-wi itself and moves the audience's hearts. Director Jang Hang-joon said about Park Ji-hoon's casting, "I'm considering casting a minor role, and someone told me to watch a drama called 'Weak Hero'. When I saw that, I thought it would be good for Park Ji-hoon to discontinue his production," he said.
"At that time, I thought it was better for Park Ji-hoon not to have a clear image as an actor. But I was also happy to become a global star after casting," he said. "I couldn't imagine any other actor in the role than the two (Yoo Hae-jin and Park Ji-hoon). In reality, Yoo Hae-jin and Park Ji-hoon had a father-son relationship. I thought I was blessed because I could see that they cared for each other, cared for each other, and respected each other," he said.
Actor Lee Joon-hyuk plays the role of Venus Grand Prince, showing a dignified and elegant performance. Director Jang Hang-joon said, "Geumseongdaegun is actually a righteous person. He explained that he was one of the only royals to keep the discontinuation until the end.
He continued, "I thought this character should be cool. "I needed a person who needed the dignity of the royal family to re-establish the stream of history in a just direction, dreaming of justice that could not be realized, and I was happy to have an opinion about Lee Joon-hyuk," he said.
He said, "He gladly agreed, but after that, 'My perfect secretary burst,' and he said, "I was originally a popular actor, but I became a world star." I thought it was heaven's luck. As expected, I think it was Lee Joon-hyuk's attitude, vocalization, and good casting in the movie."
