Kang Dong-won and Park Jung-min become servants... Casting for Park Chan-wook's first Netflix film 'Jeon, Ran' revealed
On the 7th, Netflix unveiled the casting lineup for 'Jeon, Ran'. 'Jeon, Ran' is about the reunion of Jong-ryeo (Park Jung-min), the son of the Joseon Dynasty's top military official, and his handmaid Cheon-yeong (Kang Dong-won), who grew up together in the era of chaos during the Japanese invasion, becoming enemies with Seonjo's (Cha Seung-won) closest aide and righteous army. contain the story
In the play, Kang Dong-won takes on the role of Cheonyeong, who has a low status but has the best swordsmanship skills. Kang Dong-won is expected to digest a character struggling to escape from the unfairly defined slave status with his unique charm and outstanding action acting.
Park Jung-min plays Jong-ryeo, the son of the best military official in Joseon who takes Cheon-young as a maid and is in charge of escorting King Seonjo after passing the military examination. Park Jung-min will portray a character who shared a friendship with a slave beyond social status, but is frustrated by this, with three-dimensional acting and a clear presence. Expectations are high on what kind of synergy the acting that Kang Dong-won and Park Jung-min will show off when they first meet will create.
Cha Seung-won takes on the role of King Seonjo, who abandons his people and flees when the Japanese invasion of Korea in 1592 broke out, and after the war, strives only to rebuild the king's authority. Curiosity is amplified by the appearance of the monarch in the turbulent world he will portray, which comes and goes without boundaries in any role. Kim Shin-rok, who left a strong impression in the Netflix series 'Hell', takes on the role of 'Beom-dong', a righteous soldier, and draws strength into the play by portraying a strong character who cannot be broken by enemies or social order.
In addition, Jin Seon-gyu will play the role of Kim Ja-ryeong, a nobleman-born righteous soldier who leads the people in chaos, and will show off a wise and humane figure who shares the joys and sorrows with the people. Genshin, the brutal spearhead of the Japanese army who recognizes Cheonyoung's extraordinary swordsmanship, is played by Jeong Seong-il, who added tension to the story in the Netflix series 'The Glory', completing a solid casting lineup.
Director Kim Sang-man of 'Late Night FM', who captivated the audience with a thriller-like twist on the radio material and a bold development, took the megaphone for 'Jeon, Ran'. Director Kim Sang-man plans to provide a genre-like fun by adding combat and chase action to the drama of people living in an era of turbulence and chaos in 'Battle, Ran'.
In addition, Moho Film, which produced the films 'Decision to Break Up', 'The Handmaiden', and 'Snowpiercer', was in charge of production with Semicolon Studio. Director Park Chan-wook not only participated in the production of 'Jeon, Ran', but also co-wrote the screenplay with writer Shin Cheol. 'Jeon, Ran' is the first Korean film that director Park Chan-wook and Netflix work together, raising expectations.
