In the drama 'Military Prosecutor Doberman' and 'Chaebol X Detective,' charismatic roles are portrayed, while in the variety show 'Backpacker,' An Bo-hyun, who has explored TV dramas, OTT, and variety shows, returns to the summer movie scene with a new character through 'Pretty Crazy' (directed by Lee Sang-geun, distributed by CJ ENM, produced by Oe Yunae Gang).
The movie 'Pretty Crazy' is a devilish comedy that tells the struggles of a young unemployed man, Gil-gu (An Bo-hyun), who gets caught up in a bizarre part-time job watching over Seon-ji (Im Yoon-a), who awakens as a devil every dawn.
An Bo-hyun has grown into a likable actor by showcasing various aspects, from his intense presence and charismatic acting in dramas 'Military Prosecutor Doberman' and 'Chaebol X Detective' to a quietly hard-working character in the variety show 'Backpacker.' Challenging the summer box office with 'Pretty Crazy,' An Bo-hyun met Lee Sang-geun's pure directorial style and gave birth to the reliable young man 'Gil-gu.' Gil-gu falls in love at first sight with Seon-ji, who moves in downstairs, and after discovering the shocking fact that she transforms into a devil every dawn, he takes it upon himself to protect her through a 'extreme part-time job' every morning. Despite his tall stature and solid physique, the timid and gentle side of Gil-gu allows An Bo-hyun to showcase his unexpected charm.
An Bo-hyun expressed deep affection for the character, saying, "Gil-gu is a friend who doesn't really know what his dream is but is trying to find out. I really liked his clear and pure appearance." To immerse himself in the character of 'Gil-gu,' which is completely different from his existing charismatic image, he noted, "I had to let go of all my shyness and awkwardness," stating that 'Pretty Crazy' was an opportunity for him to grow to the next level. An Bo-hyun's friendly yet sincere gaze, reminiscent of a neighbor boy, along with his kind but somewhat quirky demeanor, made Gil-gu an even more appealing character.
Despite his large size and sturdy appearance, An Bo-hyun's new face, which captures the audience's heart with pure and harmless unexpected charm, can be directly seen through the movie 'Pretty Crazy.' This work is expected to provide him with a new turning point as an actor, beyond a simple image transformation. The movie 'Pretty Crazy' is set to be released in theaters on Aug. 13 (Wed.).
