Actor Park Hae-soo of the Netflix film "The Great Flood" expressed his feelings about being called a "Netflix civil servant."
On the morning of the 16th, a production briefing for Netflix's new film "The Great Flood" was held at CGV Yongsan I'Park Mall in Yongsan-gu, Seoul. Director Kim Byung-woo, who directed the work, as well as lead actors Kim Da-mi, Park Hae-soo and Kwon Eun-sung attended the event and talked about the film under the moderation of broadcaster Park Kyung-rim.
"The Great Flood" is an SF disaster blockbuster that depicts the last day of Earth engulfed by a great flood and the desperate battle of those who stake humanity's final hope as they fight for survival in an apartment submerged by water. In particular, Park Hae-soo, who has proven a wide acting spectrum in various works, plays Hee-jo of the human resources security team, greatly increasing the film's immersion.
Park Hae-soo said, "I'm also very excited. Actually, this is a work I made with more affection than any other. Even though it was filmed three years ago, when I tried to recall that time for the production briefing, many vivid memories came back. It was a pleasant memory. From the moment I first received the script, I was very excited and curious. When I watched it, I felt it was crafted carefully, like it was being finely worked on. It's an SF genre that is uncommon worldwide, and I think its Korean-style genre characteristics are well preserved, so I think it will get a lot of positive response."
He added, "When I first read the script, it wasn't a scenario that was generally easy to read. It wasn't in a conventional format; when scenes transitioned, only numbers were written and it read like a code. But as I kept reading, there was a heaviness that kept my curiosity until the end as I watched whether it could be realized. So when I chose this work, I was curious to see how the director would, as in his previous works, reveal and change human nature and the inner self within a confined space. I was also curious to see how the actress Da-mi would change."
Park Hae-soo, who has been loved for so many works that he is actually called a "Netflix civil servant," has presented four works on Netflix this year alone, from "Bad Connection" to "Good News." Among them, he has named "The Great Flood" as the work he is most attached to. He first said humbly, "Sometimes I suddenly think this: many friends might see this as a stage they want to rely on or stand on, and for me to be there under the name 'civil servant' brings both responsibility and embarrassment. I am working hard to meet you with good works."
At the same time, Park Hae-soo said, "I have affection for all my works, but when I first encountered this one I felt a strong sense of challenge. I had never met a disaster film with characters and people that I hadn't seen before, and I hadn't experienced a work that follows two or three characters, so I was very curious. That sense of challenge arose."
"The Great Flood" will be released on Netflix on the 19th. <
