[Photo &] "I Don't Do Comedy" Lee Dong-hwi Plays Lee Dong-hwi… Movie 'Method Acting' Set to Release in March

Actor Lee Dong-hwi plays himself on screen. The movie 'Method Acting' is set to release on March 18, revealing a unique worldview that transcends reality and fiction. This work is a human comic drama that depicts the struggles of the protagonist 'Lee Dong-hwi', who wants to break free from the fixed image of a comedy actor and strives for authentic dramatic performance.

The released first poster captures attention with Lee Dong-hwi's serious expression and the contrasting image behind his sunglasses. The reflection in the sunglasses shows his representative character in the film, an alien dressed as 'Alien'. The serious expression contrasts with the comical character, and the strong tagline "Why should I only do comedy?!" intuitively shows the protagonist's dilemma between the image the public desires and his thirst as an actor.

This work was previously invited to the 'Today of Korean Cinema - Panorama' section at the 29th Busan International Film Festival, where it sold out immediately upon ticket sales opening, receiving critical acclaim from both critics and audiences.

The trailer released alongside shows top star Lee Dong-hwi, who has glamorous titles like '10 Million Actor' and 'Fashionista', challenging himself in dramatic acting. Conflicts with the director during historical drama filming and the skeptical gaze of those around him foreshadow the difficult future he will face, adding tension to the story.

Having established a unique presence in works like 'Reply 1988', 'Extreme Job', and 'Casino', Lee Dong-hwi is expected to enhance immersion with his clever portrayal of the inventive setting that blurs the lines between reality and fiction. Additionally, seasoned actors such as Yoon Kyung-ho, Kang Chan-hee, Kim Geum-soon, Yoon Byung-hee, and Gong Min-jung join to enrich the narrative. The movie 'Method Acting' will be available in theaters on March 18.
