Actor Kim Shin-rock is radiating an irreplaceable presence in "Project Y," overwhelming theaters.
As the film "Project Y" (director Lee Hwan) rides hot word-of-mouth right after its release, Kim Shin-rock's overwhelming hard-carry performance as "Gayoung" in the film has been a daily topic among audiences. "Project Y" is a crime-entertaining movie that tells the story of Miseon (Han So-hee) and Dokyung (Jeon Jong-seo), who lived dreaming of a different tomorrow in a glamorous city, and the events that unfold when they steal black money and gold bullion they found at the edge of their lives.
In the film, Kim Shin-rock plays Gayoung, the mother of Miseon and Dokyung and a person with a terrifying obsession who never misses the one opportunity that comes to her, presenting a new face that breaks away from stereotypes. In particular, Kim Shin-rock's chilling mania, who confronts Hwangso (Jung Young-joo), the right-hand man of Tosa-jang (Kim Sung-Cheol) with unflinching composure and unstoppable charisma, raised the film's tension to its peak and instantly swept the audience's attention.
In this work, Kim Shin-rock's passionate performance does not stop at mere "intensity." Even in fleeting moments, she filled the screen with the complex and multifaceted inner life of the character Gayoung through her distinctive, precise emotional variations. His face, shifting between a fishy smile and an inscrutable expressionless look, showed a pulling power that changed the film's atmosphere every time she appeared. Her unmatched aura, which does not lose composure even under the rough threats of Hwangso, vividly proves why she is the key figure of this piece.
Above all, what surprised audiences was Gayoung's three-dimensional narrative that shines increasingly toward the latter part. Gayoung's unpredictable choices toward Miseon and Dokyung, who came to find her to escape Korea with the stolen gold bullion, instantly overturned the film's balance. Behind Gayoung's sharp appearance that pushes Dokyung away with a cynical attitude, the weighty decision she hides, combined with Kim Shin-rock's deep acting ability, completed the film's most powerful "key to the twist."
Kim Shin-rock endowed a character that could have remained merely mysterious with explosive energy and her own narrative, boasting perfect synchronicity with the role. Her meticulous control of tempo that manipulates the audience's hearts until the final moment is praised for rendering the character more dramatically within the crime-action genre and raising the film's density.
With Kim Shin-rock's radical acting transformation and chilling charisma raising its completeness, the crime-entertaining movie "Project Y" is now being widely screened at theaters nationwide.
