LEE JOON GI
AND
KIM WON JUNG
RENEW
BOND
OF
FRIENDSHIP
With the benefit of 17 years of hindsight, Lee Joon Gi and Kim
Won Jung could look back at their shared history with affection. Both Lee and
Kim Won Jung or Rey Kim share great action skills. They have collaborated in several
projects. 4 projects, to be precise. Their friendship started even before Lee
was launched into international fame and popularity with the historic
blockbuster, The King and The Clown
(2005). They share a great bond of friendship.
Their past projects were Non-Stop
4 (2003), Time Between Dog and Wolf
(2007) and Criminal Minds: Korea
(2017). This year, they are teaming up for Flower of Evil. Their friendship has come a long way. It is
obvious that their common talents have brought them together. Time Between Dog and Wolf and Criminal Minds: Korea involve a lot of
action. Flower of Evil is expected to be full of action, thrills
and excitement.

MINDS

While nothing much is known about their collaboration in Non-Stop
4 and Time Between Dogs and Wolf, their teamwork in Criminal
Minds, based on the popular American television drama series of
the same name, is most intriguing. Lee Joon Gi portrays Kim Hyun Jun, an all-round SWAT officer (EOD bomb expert)-Violent
Crimes Detective-NCI profiler. Kim Won Jung plays Choi Jae Man, a police suspect. They share two scenes in Episode
1 of Criminal Minds.
 
The first one is the awesome scene where Kim Hyun Jun chases Choi
Jae Man as they leap and jump over rooftops. None, who have seen the
complete video clip of the action scene, can forget Lee’s fantastic Parkour
leaps including his awesome flying leap from the rooftop and his landing
right smack on top of Kim Won Jung. The viewers can feel a tremendous thrill
as they watch the harrowing chase.
WHat's Missing?
The other scene is set in the police station where Choi Jae Man is locked up but Kim Hyun Jun argues for his release because there is no evidence against him.
Shockingly, the amazing rooftop chase scene was cut from the
drama. Mind-boggling. It is hard to imagine why such an astounding scene should
be deleted. Never before has anything remotely like this happened to Lee Joon
Gi. With such an incredible scene that is worthy of James Bond, his
talents would have been juxtaposed with those of other actors. Though Lee
Joon Gi’s global fame is beyond question, this scene would perhaps have made
him the most feted superstar in 2017. Many viewers knew nothing about the
deleted scene but it must have troubled many fans who were in the know.

Lee Joon Gi will portray a psychopath in Flower of Evil but Kim Won Jung’s role is unknown. Lee, the ever-popular megastar, who will become even more embedded in the global public’s affections, is expected to showcase his awesome martial arts and athletic skills in Flower of Evil. Joongimania, which has been part of Lee’s professional life, had erupted more explosively with the humongous success of Moon Lovers: Scarlet Heart Ryeo in 2016. It is expected to erupt again with Flower of Evil.
