Greg Hsu transforms into a killer in No Way Out: The Roulette, bringing a never-before-seen side of his acting skills. Hsu, known for his charming roles, now steps into the shoes of “Mr. Smile,” a hitman sent to Korea to kill a notorious criminal.
No Way Out: The Roulette centers around the 20-billion-won public assassination bounty placed on Kim Guk Ho (Yoo Jae Myung), igniting a fierce battle among those who seek to claim the reward. As Mr. Smile, Hsu portrays a cold-blooded killer hiding behind a charming smile.
Hsu, who has garnered a massive global fanbase from the drama Someday or One Day, has established himself as the quintessential first-love icon through films like Behind the Blue Eyes, 18×2 Beyond Youthful Days, and My Love. His debut in the Korean drama scene has his fans eagerly anticipating his performance. The mystery thriller presents a stark contrast to his previous romantic roles, promising a bold transformation that has already generated significant buzz.
Mr. Smile, true to his enigmatic codename, is a man of unknown name and nationality. Hired by an anonymous client, he steps onto Korean soil with a mission to take down Kim Guk Ho. Equipped with a killer smile and striking looks, Mr. Smile seamlessly blends charm with brutality, showcasing flawless execution of his deadly assignments.
Greg Hsu commented on his role, saying, “He keeps smiling, but the smile doesn’t necessarily convey malice, making it unclear why he’s smiling.” This intriguing statement heightens the anticipation for his portrayal of a seemingly innocent yet ruthlessly vicious character. Reflecting on the filming experience, he expressed his gratitude: “All the actors took great care of me. It was a very happy experience.”
