Actor Koo Kyo-hwan warms the winter with the film 'If We'.
The film 'If We', which opens on the 31st (director Kim Do-young, distributed by SHOWBOX, provided by KC Ventures·K-Wave Media, produced by Covenant Pictures), is a realistic, relatable romance about Eun-ho and Jeong-won (Mun Ka-young), who passionately loved each other and accidentally reunite after 10 years to unfold traces of memory. The director's direction and the actors' passionate performances have drawn praise and attracted attention.
Koo Kyo-hwan plays 'Lee Eun-ho', who repeated college entrance exams and is currently studying computer engineering. He portrays the character's complex emotions—from the excitement of first love to breakups and regrets faced against the realities of life, the trembling joy and longing of an unexpected reunion, and even sadness—with realistic and exceptional expressiveness.
In this work, Koo Kyo-hwan delicately builds the flow of emotions between the immature youth and the matured present by moving across 10 years, using a sensuous performance infused with the actor's own sensibility to increase audience empathy and immersion. In addition to the character's outward appearance—costume, speech, hair—the inner self, layered with various emotions in Koo Kyo-hwan's own color, completes a three-dimensional character that could otherwise feel flat, and is expected to add a deep aftertaste within the tender narrative.
Called the 'idol of the independent film scene' and having received attention from Chungmuro, Koo Kyo-hwan has won broad public affection through genre works such as the film 'Peninsula', 'Mogadishu', 'Escape', and Netflix's 'D.P.' Through his first romantic film 'If We', he once again proves the acting skill he has quietly honed to date, firmly imprinting his presence and charm as an actor who lives and breathes in the work regardless of genre. Attention is focused on his future moves and works as he continues to build trust in his acting with audiences and himself.<
