Shin Hyun Bin's passionate performance in the movie "The Face" is a hot topic. The movie "The Face" is about Lim Yong-gyu, who is visually impaired but reincarnated as a seal engraver, and his son Lim
The story follows Dong-hwan (played by Park Jung-min) as he delves into the mystery surrounding the death of his wife and mother, who disappeared 40 years ago.
In the play, neither her visually impaired husband nor her baby son have ever seen the "faces" of the characters.
The mysterious story of the main character, Jung Young-hee, has given the audience great satisfaction. Shin Hyun-bin's courageous performance as a character whose face is never shown until just before the ending has attracted attention, and the series has become a hit.
As the film progresses, only the back of the character is shown, or his face is completely obscured by his hair, adding to the mystery.
The production team had anticipated that casting Hee would be difficult. However, when Shin Hyun Bin heard about the role from director Yeon Sang Ho on set, he said, "Rather, I'd rather have my face in the picture."
I found it interesting that there was no such thing. It seemed like I could express myself in a different way, and as an actor, I thought it would be rare to take on such a challenge, so I decided to appear in the film,” said the cast member.
He revealed the story behind the film. Normally, actors have to act in a way that makes sure their face is visible on camera, so even if their face is even slightly visible, it would be a no-go.
Shin Hyun Bin, who played the role brilliantly, has been praised by critics and audiences alike, with some calling him "a great choice as an actor."
Director Yeon Sang Ho also said, "I wondered if there was an actor who would play a role whose face would not appear in the film, but Shin Hyun Bin readily agreed.
"Instead of showing my face, I prepared a lot of acting using gestures with my hands and shoulders. Thanks to that, I was able to vividly convey the characteristics of 'Jung Young-hee,'" she said, expressing her satisfaction.
"The Face" is currently being screened to rave reviews in cinemas in Korea.
