After the success of the Disney+ series The Worst of Evil and the JTBC drama Welcome to Samdal-ri, Ji Chang-wook continues to shine this year. Known for his diligence, he multiplies projects, showing his versatility across various genres and characters, and thus enriches his impressive filmography.
The film Revolver, scheduled for August 7, stars Ji Chang-wook as “Andy,” a character described as a “mad dog” with a refined appearance hiding a chaotic personality. Ji Chang-wook brings this character to life with a subtle performance, creating a figure marked by despair and deficiency, adding tension and depth to the story.
Additionally, the teaser for TVING The Queen’s original series ‘Woo’ reveals another intriguing side of Ji Chang-wook.
This historical action series tells the story of the struggle for the throne after the sudden death of the king. Ji Chang-wook plays King Go Nam-mu, a character who, even in the briefest moments, exudes a powerful presence and captivates viewers.
Returning to the historical genre after more than ten years since Empress Ki, there is much excitement about Ji Chang-wook’s performance as King Go Nam-mu, very different from his previous role as Mad King Ta Hwan.
With his beard and golden armor, he undergoes a visual transformation to embody a character who dominates the battlefield, promising an intense and immersive experience. Ji Chang-wook has already made an impression with memorable characters in dramas, but he never wanted to confine himself to classic romantic roles.
By taking on continuous challenges and playing diverse roles, he builds a unique and rich filmography, offering a wide range of genres that can appeal to different tastes, supported by his consistently strong performances.
In addition to this, Ji Chang-wook will appear in My Name Is Gabriel, which airs on August 16. The show captures his life as “Pipe”, a farmer on an agave farm in Mexico’s tequila region, offering insight into his diverse acting talents with a touch of humor.
With a summer filled with films, dramas, variety shows, commercials and international activities, Ji Chang-wook is ready to captivate once again with his versatile talents.
The Revolver movie will be released in theaters on August 7, and The Queen ‘Woo’ will be broadcast on TVING from August 29.
