Namkoong Min, who is understood for bringing every of his characters to life in memorable methods, remarked, “Director Lee Jung Heum, whom I worked with eight years ago, is leading this project. After we met and discussed how he planned to approach filming and express the emotions of the story, I took a few days to think it over. Then the thought occurred to me that I’d be embarrassed as an actor if I turned it down. Because the script was written with such sincerity.”

In “Our Movie,” Namkoong Min takes on the position of Lee Je Ha, a once-celebrated genius movie director who’s unable to launch new work, haunted by the idea that his previous success was a lie. “On the surface, he seems like a successful director, but inside, he’s filled with a deep emptiness and emotional wounds,” defined the actor. “If I had to describe the character in a few words or a specific genre, I’d say ‘quiet love’ or ‘a calm, yet deeply emotional romance drama.’”

He added, “[Lee Je Ha] is someone who shows his feelings through actions rather than words. He may be awkward at expressing himself, but his sincerity runs deeper than anyone’s. Watching him slowly break down and change—though only in front of Lee Da Eum—is truly moving.”

I paid close attention to conveying those unspoken emotions through my performance.”

The actor additionally expressed a deep connection to the position, sharing, “I played Je Ha with the hope that even without raising his voice, the quiet ripple of his emotions would still reach viewers. That made the role more difficult, but also made me feel more attached to it.” His phrases spotlight the care and energy he put into bringing the character to life, elevating anticipation for his portrayal.

Namkoong Min, who earned popularity of his roles in SBS dramas “Stove League” and “One Dollar Lawyer,” admitted to feeling strain with this new position. “Both Baek Seung Soo and Cheon Ji Hoon were beloved characters, so I worried a lot about whether I’d be able to deliver the same emotional depth and connection to viewers this time,” he mentioned. “Whether this becomes another defining role in my career is up to the audience, but I really poured all my emotions into my performance. I think it’s something people can look forward to.”
