Won Bin sheds his gentle image for Ajusshi
by javabeans
I just posted about Won Bin‘s new movie Ajusshi, but now the first trailer is out, and it looks pretty damn good. The story is rather straightforward, but Won Bin’s transformation into a hardened badass is pretty cool.
Information on the plot has been pretty scant till now, describing his character simply as a hermit who comes out into the world in order to help rescue a kidnapped girl. Watching the trailer, however, really gets the dark thriller vibe across.
The trailer: The young girl is his neighbor and starts by asking, “Ajusshi, are you really a gangster?” He asks the girl if he looks like a bad person to her, and she answers with a little laugh, “It’s just that it seems like jail would suit you.” The onscreen title reads, “They shouldn’t have messed with him” as he launches into a series of violent fights, and then adds, “His one and only friend… called him ajusshi.” Hence the significance of the title. As the trailer closes, he says, “Even if I find her… you two are dead.”
Ajusshi recently wrapped filming and will open in August.

Oh gosh, brings me back to those days where I would reeeeallly hate Song Hye-kyo's character in Autumn Tale because she didn't pick Won Bin's character!! Haha. Won Bin looks gorgeous and the fact that it looks like he's going to be all hero for a kid makes him even more gorgeous :)

Ooooh....*sigh*sigh*sigh*...it's sinnnn...ful how BEEEE U T FUL one person can be...and...how unattainable...sigh... :)
But I fell in love with Won Bin not just because of his innocently shy and endearing smile and soft, calm and gentle voice,
but more than that is how truly HUMBLE and UNASSUMING he is...
For someone so blessed with
God-given swooon-worthy, melt-at-his-feet, to-die-for looks,
he is also blessed with the most appealingly enchanting personality and characteristics - down-to-earth, kind and compassionate -
from the many clips of him being interviewed about his films,
his gentle and exceedingly shy demeanour in his coffee commercials for French Cafe and with Shin Mina for T.O.P. coffee,
but most obvious when he is mingling with African children as UNICEF's Goodwill Ambassador.
Ooooohhh...If only such a guy has the hots for me....but alas...all I could do is admire from afar...from Singapore to be exact...hehe...
hmmm...how I wish....he could grace us in Singapore with his gentle presence...

My GOD! Wonbin's eyes are doors to heaven! I pretty much think his eyes are his asset to his excellent acting. I can just stare in his eyes and not listen to his lines, yet know and feel his acting.

Oh my! This looks SO good :D
The story kinda reminds me of "Man on Fire" starring Denzel Washington and Dakota Fanning as in how the main male character gets attached to this little girl and does everything he can to get her back after she's kidnapped~ I just hope this movie has a more happy ending. Anyway, I'll definitely be keeping an eye out! Thanks for the trailer <3

@vis That's exactly what I thought. It sounds a lot like "Man on Fire", which is an excellent movie but very depressing.

Omo, omo, he is so hot in this one. This is so opposite to his character in "Mother". I really would love to watch this one if it ever gets to US or I guess I will have to watch it on DVD.

Sounds a little bit like Denzel Washington's Man on Fire....
But, of course, it's just the part where he would do anything to save the little girl.
Other than that, the setting is different.
Support for Won Bin!
The little girl is cute...
Wish I was younger.

Since this basic plot is unoriginal, and reminds everyone of "Man on Fire", so I hope that they will do something different with the story. Still, he does look hot in black.

I like him because he's a mix of my two most beloved actors - Tony Leung and Leslie Cheung....in terms of looks, charisma. I hope one day he'll become just as great as them.

OF COURSE! That's right, I haven't thought that this new movie "Ajusshi" seem like Denzel Washington who tried to save the little girl, Dakota Fanning, of cooursse --- to # 38 TheRainHouse
Ahh, I had seen Won Bin that before when he was in "Autumn Heart" with Song Seong Heon. Honestly, I love seeing Won Bin is acting, like, his dark & tough bad boy way --- so differently but VERY hot and awesome in Ajusshi!
I can't wait to watch this movie, yay !!! =) =)

Kind of reminds me of "Leon: The Professional" but I still wanna see it because Won Bin as a bad guy can't get any better than this. I think dark roles suits him better.

@Cam, gracefulmoonie, cranberry and vis
I know, right, but since we all love Won Bin, whether or not the plot is original, we don't really care do we?
Won Bin has talent and the looks to go with it.
