Immediately after its release on the 30th, viewers are paying keen attention to the legion of actors who are the biggest contributors to the box office of 'ONE: High School Heroes', which is showing explosive popularity by recording the No. 1 paid subscription to Wave.
'ONE: High School Heroes' is a high school action drama in which the top student 'Uigyeom' (Lee Jung-ha), who suffered from his father's oppression, and 'Yoon-gi' (Kim Do-wan), who tries to take advantage of his natural fighting talent, form a masked 'High School Heroes' to explode pent-up anger, overturning the school violence ranking.
Based on the world view of the original Kakao Webtoon 'ONE', the chemistry between characters is maximized and bold action production is added to provide a deeper sense of immersion. In particular, the rapid development of webtoons, the setting of real school life, and the dramatic development of various figures are receiving great response from viewers.
Lee Se-ho played the role of Iljin Jjang 'Choi Ji-hyuk, a second-year student at Yeonseong High School, who failed to make the fighting instinct of 'Uigyeom' properly awaken, and played a role in informing viewers of the unique world view of this work.
In the released episodes 1-4, Choi Ji-hyuk holds a bamboo tree on the rooftop, a symbol of oppression and violence, and uses various methods to smash not only Uigyeom's body but also his soul. However, for the first time, Choi Ji-hyuk, who saw Uigyeom who did not collapse in the face of his violence and devoted himself to evil, tries to subdue him by wielding Jukdo, a weapon and also his identity.
Choi Ji-hyuk's charismatic appearance, which uses the kendo's bamboo, a martial art that cultivates the mind and values manners the most, ironically as a weapon to maximize his violence and conquers the second grade class, dramatically shows the dark and absurd reality of soft high school in itself.
Also "What kind of fight is it? Choi Ji-hyuk's line, "Even if you get hit in the 100s, once you peel the head with a brick, it's a fight to win." makes us think deeply about violence through the world view of the drama and the reality we face.
Lee Se-ho perfectly played the role of a mean and hypocritical villain, creating a raw action sequence that mixed rough breathing and emotions. Jukdo's batting sense and relentless action wielded by Lee Se-ho, who lost his composure and ran wild, raised the sense of immersion in the play as if they were actually facing off.
Moreover, his character performance, which properly shows the repeatability and intergenerational transition of school violence, was enough to make us look forward to how desperate and explosive the high school action drama will be in the future.
Lee Se-ho, who debuted in the film 'The Shepherds', 'Kingdom Asinjeon', 'The Outlaws3', 'Cross', 'The Returned Prince', 'Cross', 'Jeon, Lan', 'Brocken', Drama 'Hwarang', 'Hwarang', 'Rebel', 'The Courier', 'Parasite The Gray', 'The Fiery Death II', 'Trigger' is an accomplished actor who has performed outstanding character performances in his own colors in various genres and platforms.
In particular, in the drama 'Severe Trauma Center', which was injured by an armed group attack while dispatching troops in South Sudan, he made a strong impression on viewers, and in the movie 'Gye Si-rok', he played the role of 'Jung Hwan-soo', the son of a pastor of a pioneering church and a pastor in charge of a new church.
Meanwhile, 'ONE: High School Heroes' starring Lee Se-ho will be released exclusively every Friday at 11 a.m. through Wave.
