If you've watched Vigilante, you have surely been enamoured by the lead casts' acting chops.
However, this isn’t the first time, nor will it be the last, that they’ve owned the viewers’ hearts with their distinguished abilities to command the camera lens and its narrative in their favour.
The quartet has long been in the showbiz business, as all four of these highly praised actors have led many other Korean movies and show. Their unparalleled range and expertise is reflected in the wide spectrum of projects they’ve made major contributions to in the past.
While some critics question the historical accuracy of the Kim Kwang-sik directorial, there’s no doubt that its cinematography and acting performances were a major hit. With the character Sa-mool, Joo-hyuk made his big screen debut, and he was a hit with critics and audiences alike.
Although largely known for making reverberations for Ji Chang-wook’s fame, the 2014 action thriller series also starred Yoo Ji-tae as one of three leading actors of the show. While in Vigilante he plays the role of an out-of-the-ordinary and hardened police officer, in Healer, Ji-tae was seen as a star reporter named Kim Moon-ho.
Yoo Ji-tae stars as Lee Woo-jin in this South Korean action-thriller, as the man who imprisoned Oh Dae-su in the film. Although director Park Chan-wook thought of the actor to be too young for the role, Yoo played his role with conviction and proved that age is just a number when you have amazing talent!
As Yoon Tae-goo in the 2022 crime thriller TV series, So-jin came in as the team leader of the Mobile Investigation Unit. Her performance won over the audience and she bagged several nominations under many categories at the SBS Drama Awards that year.
In yet another leading role, the Vigilante actor is seen as Yoo Tae-han, a former detective, now a wrecked driver. The OCN fantasy thriller K-drama series figures in Joon-hyuk’s character as a nonchalant, easy-go-lucky presence, but his old days in the force still inspire him with pride despite the misunderstood scenario that cut him out of it.
