Actor Seo Hyun-woo (41) showed off his appearance as an “actress contractor” through “The Fiery Priest II.” Among the unique characters, he showed seasoned acting skills and increased the level of immersion in the play.
SBS’s Friday-Saturday drama “The Fiery Priest 2” (played by Park Jae-beom, directed by Park Bo-ram), which ended on the 27th, is an investigative drama in which Kim Hae-il (played by Kim Nam-gil), a hot-blooded bride with an anger control disorder who acts as a priest during the day and an angel wave boss for the role of “Belato” at night, leaves for Busan and is playing against the country’s top drug cartel.
Seo Hyun-woo, who met with Maeil Business Star Today ahead of the end of “Fiery Death II,” said, “I had so much fun watching season 1, so I was burdened and worried when I joined season 2. Fortunately, I’m happy that I finished it well,” he said.
“The Fiery Priest 2” is the second series of “The Fiery Priest,” which received great love in 2019 with a highest viewership of 22% (hereinafter referred to as Nielsen Korea, national standard). It started with an 11.9% viewership in the first episode and recorded the highest viewership of 12.8%.
“It’s my first time doing a drama with a viewership rating of more than 10%. I felt a lot of people’s interest and love. In the past, if you recognized me as ‘who’s on TV?’ please say hello smoothly now. There were a lot of people who said, “What’s the content after that?” It was amazing and I was thankful.(laughs)
Seo Hyun-woo played Nam Doo-heon, a corruption prosecutor in the drug team of the Busan Nambu Branch, who was a former dirt spoon in the play and achieved high-speed promotion. Nam Doo-heon is a person who works with drug cartel head Kim Hong-sik (Seong-joon) to get power.
Seo Hyun-woo introduced Nam Doo-heon as “I have a job as a prosecutor, but I am a character full of desire for life,” and added, “I had a Cleese villain’s choice, but I didn’t go against it. He said, “I acted with the idea of appearing as a villain rather than ‘Why did he have to be a villain?’
He continued, “The appearance tried to look modest. If you look at my outfit in the work, I wear a low-priced watch and wear baggy clothes rather than a suit fit. I tried to make it feel like I’m wearing a few suits. He also added, “I tried to make the character feel of seeing the vision further than receiving money and valuables right away, such as riding an old sedan.”
One of the highlights of “The Fiery Death II” was Seo Hyun-woo and Sung-jun’s vicious “villain chemistry.” The two new villains in season 2 met separately after the entire reading and talked about how to make the character.
Seo Hyun-woo said, “Season 1 received a lot of love. So we thought together about ‘what about the energy of villains against the momentum and energy of Goodams’. He thought that if it was too serious and heavy, it would not be balanced with Goodams, so he made his own plan to “take the pleasure and humor, but not lose the seriousness” of the work itself.
“Actor Sung-joon is 10 out of 10.” While acting together, I thought I was an open person, he said. “There is a scene where I only show off my acting, and I felt like I was making ‘The Fiery Priest 2’ together.” One difficulty is that Sung-jun was so tall that he always looked up and acted,” he said.
In the work, Seo Hyun-woo answered the phone alone and gave orders, so there were not many scenes where he encountered other actors except Lee Ha-nee and Sung-jun. When asked about his relationship with Lee Ha-nee, who plays Park Kyung-sun, Seo Hyun-woo said, “I’m a friend of the same age, but I relied on him a lot.”
“In the first shoot with Lee Ha-nee, I said the line, ‘Is she a idol?’ But I was shaking during rehearsals because he was acting so skillfully. I thought about whether my tone fits the actor Lee Ha-nee, but Lee Ha-nee said, “I think I like the spark that hits me like this,” so I was able to go with the tone I originally set. Lee Ha-nee said, “I felt like I was really chewing God because I had experience in season 1.”
Lee Ha-nee was praised, but Seo Hyun-woo also showed his presence with his dense acting skills. It adds to the fun of watching the play, ranging from a cool-headed and sly appearance to a strawberry smoothie and a sudden unexpected charm of copying a scene from a Hong Kong movie. In the behind-the-scenes video of “The Fiery Death II,” Lee Ha-nee also attached the modifier “acting contractor” to Seo Hyun-woo.
Regarding these modifiers, Seo Hyun-woo said, “Acting contractor” is actually the first word that producer Na Young-seok said, but I don’t know where to put myself. When you think of a contractor, the image that comes to mind is, “What do you want me to do? I’ll do what I want. Something like this. I gained confidence because the word “acting contractor” feels like providing acting to meet the needs of customers. When I work in the future, I think I should try to create the characters that the director and the artist want,” he said.
Seo Hyun-woo has been busy this year, including the movie “The Escape,” Disney Plus “Gangmae Gang,” and the drama “The Fiery Death II.”
He said, “I’m so grateful that you’re constantly visiting me during hard times, and I’m able to work without being sick,” adding, “It was nice to be able to finish ‘The Fiery Priest 2′ with a lot of interest and love.” I’m working hard on Netflix’s ’84sqm’ now, and I hope you look forward to this work, which will be released next year,” he said, concluding the interview.
