Kwan Woo’s facial expressions simultaneously scare the crabcake out of me and make me want to cry bitter, bitter tears for him. Was KYK’s emoting always this good?
I keep getting confused when mentioning him here. Do I call him Do Han? Fake-Do Han? Kwan Woo? So I just decided to go for his real name, especially since Priest has never been mentioned with that name, so thought it’d be the least confusing option lol.
He really is! I never liked him as an actor before, actually kind of avoided him, but wow he’s blowing me away I’m this! I’ll definitely go back and watch more of his work now.
I still can’t warm up with him, he’s the reason I’m dropping Lookout now .. sigh. His facial expressions are still weird and exaggerate, or maybe that’s just me.
I feel like his expressions capture the intense of emotions of such traumatic experiences really well. Like when he were laugh-crying in the car. I’ve been there and it struck me right in the heart. Normally I’d prefer more subtle expressions too, but I love how he uses it to express his character in a way that makes me understand him more and feel for him. It makes him seem less of a cold creep and more of a disturbed, lonely guy who doesn’t know anything about ordinary life.
Ditto. Even I found it a bit jarring initially but then I realised that this acting style of his goes well with his character. He has been putting up an act for so long. And like you said, it really drives home the point of him being a bit disturbing, lonely and cut off.
I do hope he works on his diction though. He tends to mumble his dialogues at times.
I don’t tend to notice Korean actors’ diction tbh, think my mind focuses so much on trying to both read the subs and see what happens on screen, that that part gets ignored lol. Mumbled dialogue is never good, hope he betters that. It’s probably because he wasn’t trained to be an actor, not like you need a whole lot of verbal skills in the model industry 😛

I kept remembering him as Do Han. Haha. What a switched identity. And KYK is good at portraying his character !
