This summer, Ji Chang Wook is captivating audiences with his diverse roles across various genres.
Following his success in Disney Plus’s The Worst of Evil and JTBC’s Welcome to Samdalri last year, Ji Chang Wook takes on a new character in the film Revolver, scheduled for release on August 7th. In the movie, Ji plays Andy, a deranged character with a penchant for cologne. Behind his clean-cut appearance, he vividly portrays a reckless and deficient man. His nuanced performance brings the gritty character to life, adding tension and dynamism to the film.
The actor’s portrayal in the teaser for the TVING original series Queen Woo is equally compelling. The historical action thriller centers on the struggle for the throne following the king’s sudden death, with factions vying for power and targeting the queen. Ji plays King Go Nam Moo, who opens the story with a powerful presence, capturing attention even in brief moments.
Returning to a historical drama for the first time in over a decade since Empress Ki, Ji transforms into the cold and stoic King Go Nam Moo, a stark contrast to his previous role as the maniacal King Tahwan. Complete with a beard and golden armor, his visual transformation creates an immersive character that dominates the battlefield and the narrative.
Ji Chang Wook, known for creating iconic characters in dramas, continues to expand his acting repertoire beyond romantic leads. His versatile performances offer a wide range of choices for fans, showcasing his reliable acting skills.
Additionally, the actor will appear in the My Name Is Gabriel episode, airing on August 16th, where he plays Pippe, a farmer at an agave plantation in Mexico. With his summer filled with movies, dramas, variety shows, commercials, and international projects, all eyes are on Ji Chang Wook’s multifaceted journey and his next reinvention.
