Jang Seung Jo gave viewers a cinematic immersion in ‘Death’s Game’.
On the 2nd, his agency Ace Factory announced that Jang Seung Jo will return to play the role of Lee Joo Hoon, a jack-of-all-trades in a secret organisation that solves anything, even murder, for its clients, in the TVING original series “Death’s Game” (directed and written by Ha Byung Hoon).
After its premiere on the 15th of this month, the film was released on Amazon Prime Video to 240 countries worldwide on the 18th of last month, and within three days, it entered the ‘Top 10’ in more than 20 countries including India, Hong Kong, and Japan.
The tv series, which has attracted global attention, stars Jang Seung-jo as Lee Joo-hoon, the protagonist of Choi Yi-jae’s fourth life.
Lee Joo-hoon is a fugitive with 10 billion won of his boss’s money.
Add to that the fact that he’s dangerously in love with his boss’s lover and planning a love escape, and you’ve got a character who is instantly drawn into a life of glamour.
In particular, Jang Seung-jo’s character is a jack-of-all-trades, so he was able to handle the high-intensity action perfectly.
From motorbike chases, chasing and being chased in and out of buildings, to underwater shots where he throws himself into an outdoor pool on a motorbike.
Jang Seung-jo’s action-orientated performances added a sense of immersion to the film, maximising its excitement.
To ensure that his character’s motorbike skills were flawless, Jang Seung-jo reportedly worked hard to obtain two small licences before filming.
Jang Seung-jo’s enthusiasm for acting was reflected in the fast-paced races that captured global attention.
In addition, Jang Seung Jo’s romance with the melancholy craftsman also attracted attention.
Lee Joo-hoon’s sincere love for his boss’s lover was conveyed truthfully through Jang Seung-jo’s eyes, showing the end of a painful love.
Jang Seung Jo’s performance in both narrative and action enriched the drama and amplified the curiosity about Choi Yi Jae’s next life.
Meanwhile, Jang Seung Jo’s performance in “Death’s Game” will be released in part 2 on 5 January.
