Actor Lee Beom-soo captures attention by creating another irreplaceable character.

In the Netflix series ‘The Square’, the previous episode of which was released on the 6th(Friday), Lee Beom-soo played the role of ‘Sim Seong-won’, the CEO of ‘Enclean’, a company specializing in after-sales service, and showed off his strong presence with his three-dimensional acting that was uniquely his own.

‘The Square’ is a noir action film about Ki-jun(So Ji-sub), who cut his own Achilles tendon and left the world of the square, but returns 11 years later to seek revenge on the death of his younger brother Ki-seok(Lee Joon-hyuk), the number two man in the organization.Shim Sung-won, who knows the secrets and hidden truth of the square better than anyone else, provides a crucial clue to Ki-jun’s journey of revenge and plays a key role in driving the tension and balance of the drama.

Lee Beom-soo appears as a cynical and mean-spirited character in the beginning, but he appropriately balances the weight of the play with his unique comical words and actions and realistic way of life, and even reveals an unexpectedly reversal side in the latter half.Lee Beom-soo’s acting, which freely moves between comicality, coolness, and humanity, completes ‘Sim Seong-won’ as a three-dimensional character that goes beyond a simple villain.

This work is even more noteworthy because it continues the legacy of Lee Beom-soo’s villain acting.Lee Beom-soo’s style of simultaneously containing cheerfulness and humanity under the weighty exterior of a villain has evolved once again through ‘Sim Seong-won’, and was enough to prove his worth as an actor.

Director Choi Sung-eun explained, “Sim Sung-won is the only gangster among the characters, but he is also the most humane character,” and added, “He is a character who provides breathing room in a serious and dark worldview, and he is a character that could not have been completed without actor Lee Beom-soo.” He continued, “Lee Beom-soo actively suggested lines and actions that fit the character during every shoot, and most of them were reflected in the main story.”

Lee Beom-soo, who has boasted a wide spectrum of acting regardless of genre, has created another life character through ‘The Square’.He has brought out both comedy and weight, thereby increasing the perfection of the work and establishing himself as the main point of interest in the play.

Meanwhile, the Netflix series ‘The Square’ is available to watch in its entirety through Netflix.
