Actually i just wanna share the photo above, Joo Won as Ho Ryong on “Special Investigation Unit”.  This picture is too cool to keep all by myself. And turn out with his appearance in his first movie, Joo Won becomes the hot topic, especially his hair style. For this movie, Joo Won changed his usual hairstyle in such a different way that made him look like of one of Dragon Ball’s figures. But i think with that hair style, he looked more manly and sexier.

In this movie, Joo Won has to portray a character of a genius but stylist police man,oh yeah a genius doesn’t have to look like a nerd, right? Especially if he’s as handsome as Joo Won. . Actually this movie reminds me about Will Smith and Martine Laurance’s movie, “Bad Boy”. Ho Ryong, who is aware about his appearance, looks like Will Smith’s character on that movie.

So far, this movie where he acted alongside Uhm Tae Woong getting much attention from public. Besides his good looking, his acting skill also gained  compliments. Congratulation, Joo Won-ssi! I think, It’s  a good start for your career in the movie industry.

After a week being released “Special Investigation Unit” (특수본) become box office in South Korea.  Since officially  released on November 24th, this movie managed to gain over 50.000 viewers. Uhm Tae Woong and Joo Won’s duet are the selling point of this action movie. They successfully attract the audience to come to the cinema. So, maybe because of that, on December 1st, the official released special poster, quite different from the posters released before, this time the poster  just shows the two leading characters: Seong Beom (Uhm Tae Woong) and Ho Ryong (Joo Won).

With this poster it seems the official of the movie wants to tell the public that it is a real action movie, and hope it will be get more viewers. In this poster,  Uhm Tae Woong and Joo Won aim the gun with serious expression and sweat.  They both look so cool and hot at the same time… oh maybe i got the fever.

Since his debut on 2010 Joo Won has gained public’s attention through his role on”Baker King, Kim Tak Gu”, even just as a second lead man on that drama, his acting was really appreciated. I like his pseudo-antagonist role, as Goo Ma Jun, with his cold expression he managed to show a heartless figure, but i still can’t hate Ma Jun, I saw that role  just a young guy who was pursuing his happiness. He wasn’t that evil.

After Goo Ma Jun, on 2011 his comeback with second small screen project “Ojakgyo Brothers”, his role as a cool detective, an investigation detective, Hwang Tae Hee, still got the cold personality from Ma Jun, but Tae Hee looks lighter and fresh, even sometimes he looks so adorably naive facing his special feelings for Baek Ja Eun (Uee’s character). but he really suits his role.

And also this  year he’s trusted to work on movie project titled “Special Investigation Unit” (특수본) with seonbae-deul like Uhm Tae Woong, Jung Jin  Yeong, and Song Dong Il. It’s pretty heavy task for him in the first movie that he must act alongside with Uhm Tae Woong. Thank goodness, Uhm Tae Woong is really kindhearted senior, he is willing to share knowledge about acting to Joo Won, and Joo Won is very helpful to him as well.

On this movie Joo Won and Tae Woong will pair as colleagues, both act as policemen. Tae Woong act as Kim Seong Beom, the investigation detective and Joo Won plays as Kim Ho Ryong, a crime analyst. Joo Won the brain and Tae Woong the hand.

Actually the filming process quite heavy for Joo Won as physical, while filming he had fainted and had to be taken to the hospital. Even he works behind the desk and always (almost) wearing the monkey suit. In this action movie Joo Won is also  involved in some fighting scenes. Soon his work hard will be paid, the movie will be released on November 24th.

On this movie Seong Beom has to unveil a brutal mysterious murder case, even he has a sharp instinct on his job,  he still  need help from FBI’s protege, Kim Ho Ryong, a crime analyst. Maybe the atmosphere of  this movie will not be different from my favorite crime series like “CSI”, “NCIS” and “Criminal Mind”, full of criminal psychology. From this role, Joo Won learn about criminal behaviour, he realized that his role, a genius crime analyst, is really important in resolving the case.  Every movement of criminal has meaning which can reveal the personalities of criminals, so that will help the police to investigate the criminal case.

Joo Won feels lucky and very grateful since from his first movie, he got a lot of valuable experience.
