Lee Min-ki re-teams with Haeundae director
by javabeans
Lee Min-ki had a supporting role in the blockbuster hit Haeundae, and now has been chosen to headline the director Yoon Je-kyun‘s new production Quick. (Yoon is producing, but not directing, the new project.)
Quick is an action comedy described as a Korean version of Taxi (based on the French original), and stars Lee Min-ki as a motorcycle delivery boy (a “quick service” deliverer, hence the title). The adventure begins when his character accidentally comes into possession of a bomb. A rep from production company JK Films, which is run by PD Yoon, described Quick as a refreshing comic film that will entertain audiences with its action scenes that speed through the heart of the city.
Yoon cast Lee Min-ki after seeing his potential in Haeundae, and also intends to bring onboard a few more cast members from that film, Kim In-kwon and Kang Ye-won. Quick will begin shooting in the latter half of the year and aims for a release in early 2011.
This sounds promising — as good as Lee is in dramatic roles, I love him even more in wacky comic situations (see: Mixed-up Investigative Agency) and can totally see him freaking out over a bomb that he inadvertently carries on his bike.

I miss Lee Min Ki doing dramas!!! Kudos for him though to be in a lot of films recently!! I wish for him to have more good and successful projects before he enlists for his army duty. I try not to think about him being gone for 2 years, but I feel like since he is an 1985-er. I am dreading for that news to be announced for sure.
One of the most memorable and adorable and romantic characters ever in a drama, in my personal opinion, are Kang Tae Bong (from Dal Ja's Spring) and Nam Bong Gi (from I Really Really Like You)!!!

When I saw Lee Min Ki for the first time, I liked him...no more than that. I thought: interesting actor. But my love for him was growing up little by little. I had the opportunity to see his movies and dramas and now I really, really love him.
He is not attractive immediately. He conquests your heart with his charming skills:
- he is tall (I love that!)
- Very sexy lips (I love that too!!)
- He is so expressive when he acts.
See him carefully. He is very expressive in his movements, with his face.
- He is also so funny in comedies: that kind of silly, cute, innocent expression.
- That spontenous and simple personality. I imagine that in real life he is exactly the same. Charming, simple with a gorgeous personality.
- And he is a very good actor.
I am happy to know we will have the possibility to see him again in 2011.
I read he is more concentrated in movies than in dramas, but Lee Min Ki....we really miss you in a romantic drama...you as a main lovely character.
I am Spanish. Sorry for my mistakes!! Hope you get the ideas.
