Actor Kim Sung-chul shared his thoughts on working with Lee Hye-young in the movie ‘Breakthrough’.

‘Breakthrough’, which will be released on May 1st, is an action film that depicts an intense confrontation between Jo-gak (Lee Hye-young), a legendary killer who has been active in an organization that deals with cockroach-like humans for 40 years, and Tu-woo (Kim Sung-chul), a mysterious killer who has chased her her entire life.

At a production report meeting held at Lotte Cinema Konkuk University Entrance in Gwangjin-gu, Seoul on the 27th, Kim Sung-chul expressed his confidence in Lee Hye-young, saying, “If America has Liam Neeson from ‘Taken’, Korea has Lee Hye-young from ‘Breakthrough’.”

He continued, “The scene in the movie where they just sit down on the sofa and have a conversation was different from the beginning. There were tens of thousands of thoughts. I watched that scene more than five times. It seemed like all of the teacher‘s past years were melted into that scene. I also thought that I wanted to become a cool adult like the teacher,“ he added.

Kim Sung-chul then said about Lee Hye-young’s extraordinary charisma, ”She‘s full of charisma when she’s acting, but in real life, she‘s like a princess. When the camera’s off, she‘s friendly and jokes around a lot with the teacher.“
