It can be seen that this role is quite a challenge for Joo Won. In his acting career, this is the first time he has transformed into such an action-heavy character.

On March 19, Netflix announced that Joo Won has been confirmed for the lead role in "Agent Carter" - an action blockbuster - espionage depicting a thrilling chase. Joo Won plays a highly skilled agent who wakes up to discover that he has lost all his memories.

After impressing viewers when transforming into an action hero in the drama "Alice", the handsome man will prove his acting skills once again in this much-anticipated work! Accordingly, "Agent Carter" just aired on August 5 - is a film project co-produced between the US and Korea, belonging to Netflix's action movie "instant noodles".

The film has the same "father" as the action blockbuster "The Vilainess" (2017) directed by Jung Byung Gil. "Agent Carter" is set when a pandemic breaks out from the Korean Demilitarized Zone, where the virus is turning the victims into wild monsters with doubled strength and difficult to control.

In "Agent Carter", the horror element is just the background to develop a continuous action sequence throughout the two hours of the film. However, the audience still needs to prepare a solid spirit because throughout the film there will be choking action scenes, even heavy gore.

The main actor Joo Won revealed one thing that he had a hard time adapting to: "The camera rotates, but it doesn't have to turn to me all the time, so I have to choose the right time to act when it comes to me." This also requires the actor to be highly focused throughout the filming, not to be neglected even for 1 second.

Netflix has always been famous for its exclusive series made with different unique content. Particularly "Agent Carter" has a story that is not very new, it can even be said to be a bit old because the zombie genre sentence is so familiar.

Not to mention, the way that Byung Gil and the crew made the narrative film did not really create a highlight. With a fast pace, the film still lasts up to 2 hours, embracing too many things but without any core values.

The biggest flaw of "Agent Carter" is falling into creating a mysterious and ambiguous atmosphere about the main character's past too much but the ending is very lackluster, unsatisfactory to the viewer. Throughout the film, the character Carter is no different from an action machine, only diligently stabbing and slashing and following the instructions of "partners".

Besides the above-mentioned limitation, the foreign cast is also a big minus point because the acting skills are "stagnant", not emotional and very unrealistic. The point that saves the film is Joo Won's impressive acting, he has devoted himself to the character from action scenes to emotional expressions.

It is known that to carry out this film project, Joo Won gained 7kg and trained with strict intensity with the coach. It can be seen that the actor put a lot of effort and tried his best for the milestone marking his comeback after two years of absence.

"There isn't a day that I shoot without action. A lot of difficult scenes require strength and physical flexibility, so working out hard has helped me a lot."

It can be seen that this role is quite a challenge for Joo Won. In his acting career, this is the first time he has transformed into such an action-heavy character. Not only did he perform his role brilliantly, but he was also considered the "savior" for the whole negative movie.

Joo Won is one of the "best-selling" actors of the Korean screen, over 15 years of artistic activities he has accumulated a lot of diverse acting experience. In addition, the actor's film fortune that has been featured with all of them are impressive masterpieces such as: "Bread King", "White Angel", "Ham Genius", "Alice", ..

Initially, the handsome male born in 1987 did not intend to be an actor, but started as a singer. He joined the group Frees formed by SBS, then left the group in 2006. After that, he participated in many musicals to gain experience, until he held the bench for the role of Melchior in "Spring Awakening" ".

At this time, the actor playing the role of Melchior suddenly left, creating conditions for Joo Won to step on the stage. It was this charm that helped him "catch the eye" of Sim Entertainment.

It can be seen that at the age of 30, Joo Won is one of the few all-round good men of the Korean screen. Besides acting, he possesses commendable academic ability, other "talents" such as singing, musicals, in addition to many activities for society and the community. That is why in this comeback in the movie "Carter", Joo Won is still warmly received even though the quality of the film is a mixed topic, different from his stability on the small screen.

In 2022, in addition to "Agent Carter", Joo Won also participates in the main line of the movie project called "Fireman". Currently, the film has not been announced too much information, but promises to give the audience a more in-depth script.
