4. Flower of Evil Interview :

1. How did you decide on this piece?

Lee Joon-ki declared, "This task is not something I can handle at this time," after reading the "Flower of Evil" script for the first time.

It is said that he gave the part of the loving father who solely stares at his wife and who cares deeply for his daughter a lot of thought before playing it.

I had about two weeks to decide whether to participate, but as I kept reading the screenplay and seeing the drawings, I suddenly wondered, "Isn't it the same fate that this work came to me?" I chose to participate because I wanted it to be a watershed moment for my actor. He says, "Flower of Evil" was a bold decision for actor Lee Joon-ki.

2. Playing the roles of Baek Hee-sung and Do Hyun-soo with particular attention in

He is claimed to have put a lot of work into the reactions displayed in relationships with different characters when portraying the two characters. Due to the fact that this role cannot be emotionally felt, I reasoned that each small reaction from an expression would give the scene itself great power and persuasion. If I do something incorrectly, Do Hyun-soo can be perceived as a simple emotionless psychopath, so I paid attention to the details.

3. Making special arrangements for the creation of characters with varied aspects

In order to be as authentic as possible, Baek Hee-sung—who actually works as a metal craftsman—imagined it beforehand by searching for craft videos on YouTube that could be used as references in acting before filming. He also spoke with a metal craftsman and discovered the specifics that a craftsman could feel for a brief period of time.

It is reported that the affable husband or father of a family helped actor Moon Chae-won construct a persona by discussing his ideas with him. Moon Chae-won is a highly delicate and emotionally focused performer, so she filled in a lot of the areas that she may have missed, according to Lee Joon-ki. He continued, “Thanks to that, I felt heartbroken just watching it.”

4. Working with performers (Moon Chae-won, Seo Hyun-woo, Jang Hee-jin, etc.)

In the instance of actor Moon Chae-won, Lee Joon-ki remarked, "Even before thinking about the work called "Flower of Evil," we met a few times to discuss the work we were thinking about and to talk about our lives." I was able to develop confidence before choosing " Flower of Evil" because Chaewon remarked, "You're a character that can make me appealing enough." Actress Moon Chae-won is delicate and intensely concentrated at the moment. She is an actress who considers her sentiments until they can be understood, so when we worked together, I felt more driven and supported in the emotional element. I spoke with him.

I've already heard reports that Seo Hyun-woo is extremely passionate about acting, Seo Hyun-woo - Lee Joon-ki stated. I recall being anticipatory and anxious as I waited for the first encounter because many around me had warned me to expect nerves. But when I really met him, he was very kind, and sincere, and most importantly, he had a lot of strong acting convictions. He shared my enthusiasm for the scene, so I could exchange a lot of ideas and come up with various sequences. I was really grateful that he helped me create Do Hyun-character soo's at the beginning of the play, and he turned out to be such a terrific coworker that I said let's frequently meet in other projects.

"This is my second time working with Jang Hee-jin, and he is an actor who has always had great vitality," Lee Joon-ki remarked of the actor. He shows a lot of consideration for those around him. I was relieved to learn that I was chosen for this role specifically because I am an actor with strong emotional range and attention to detail, and I said, "It's okay." He cracks jokes and enjoys himself with me on set, but when he's acting, he concentrates swiftly and displays fresh emotional nuance. I always praised Jang Hee-accomplishments jin's and referred to him as "Jang Pro" whenever that occurred. He added to the enjoyment of the scene and is a good younger brother. I spoke with him.

5. The central character in The Flower of Evil and its message.

Lee Joon-ki pointed to "everyone in this work" as the most heartfelt person in "The Flower of Evil."All characters experience the emotion of "evil" as their lives alter, become victims, and then turn into perpetrators. When I was watching the most recent episode, I felt bad for all the characters. As a result, "Flower of Evil" is a piece of art that inspired me to reflect on the question of whether our life will bloom as "Flowers of Evil" or "Flowers of Good." After all, nobody has ever been evil in my opinion. It's just unfortunate how some characters are made to act evilly. I think it will provide viewers with a chance to reflect on the topic, "Have we ever lived with malice?"

Lee Joon-ki stated, "I believe the fact that no one was bad at all made the bloom of evil even more interesting. I believe that after giving the essence of human beings a lot of thought, I was able to consider myself. I'm hoping it will provide the audience with a chance to pose those queries. Have we not previously engaged in malice?

6. What do you think about completing your work?

Lee Joon-ki claimed that he had a mixture of emotions at completing the task, including relief, pride in having successfully sublimated the initial weight, and an empty feeling upon leaving everyone who had been jokingly running about.
