About Seo Ye Ji and Lee Joon Go
Love these two acting together. My fave kdrama couple. Lee Joon Gi had excellent chemistry with this female co-star, so I'm extra pleasantly surprised by the chemistry between him and Seo Ye Ji. The chemistry between them feels sparky, natural, comfortable, unforced and organic.
I love that they feel like equals onscreen. He's not overshadowing her even though he is the more experienced actor, and it feels like they bring equal amounts of presence to my screen. As bickering adversaries, and then as partners in law, Sang Pil and Jae Yi feel equally matched, and as a couple, they feel equally attracted to each other, and I feel like the romantic connection between them feels believable and real. I don't know but I feel I should just add this bit. Remember they are just acting in a fictional story we are not expecting them to get married in real life. Here their acting is impeccable. That's what we want.
Bong Sang-pil and Ahn Oh-joo
Just watched this series Lawless Lawyer again. I just can't help but admire Lee Joon-Gi as Bong Sang-pil and Choi Min-soo as Ahn Oh-joo acting skills. Truly praiseworthy and exemplary. So loved the way that they interacted together as characters in this renown work. Choi Min-soo brought every nuance of a ruthless, unrelenting, cold blooded gangster. Every part of his body and face emulated his confidence unyeilding and stubborn aura. Lee Joon-Gi was magnificent as the young man brought up by a gangster uncle who learnt to never backdown but stand your ground in all situations of conflict and contention. He showed his assurance determination and absolute fearlessness in every environment making sure that his evidence, documentation and data backs up what comes out of his mouth. Then there were the combative actions, balance and harmony in the fighting sequences. They totally were coordinated, harmonious and rhythmical never missing a beat and just catching the audiences wonderment and appreciation. Lee Joongi face was a picture of belligerence, hostility and animosity before Choi Min-soo. Choi Min-soo is so much stronger and bigger than Lee Joongi but both had advantageous and aggressive martial arts skills that made them completely suited to part and both are confident. Choi Min-soo fights likes a street fighter. Lee Joongi has his his kicks and aerials but his smaller body and lighter weight was a disadvantage. They both knew the gangster creed. Keep fighting to a standstill or until one gives up. On the ground Lee Joongi reverted to his Brazilian Jiu-jitsu where he had the advantage. It was so superb to review this outstanding, stunning and superior drama once again. I so love it. The last three episodes Wow! It is so exceptional I was savouring every moment and replaying and repeating parts that I enjoyed. Must watch it again.
