WHAT IF
Lee Joon Gi
were to star in a drama attired in uniform?
|
If you have watched enough of Lee Joon Gi’s awesome dramas, you are bound to find yourself having a definite opinion about his choices. Lee Joon Gi may be the King of Saguek dramas and he may have won many prestigious awards for his brilliant portrayals, but Lee cannot be a Saguek hero forever. He has to take on some other roles again, and fans know that he is contemplating changing directions.
What if Lee Joon Gi were to take on the role of a man in uniform? What would his fans say? Almost without exception, regardless of the way they might express it, the answer would be, ‘Fabulous!’ He would be awesome in such a drama, and many would go crazy. Men in uniform are so desirable because such men symbolise courage, strength, discipline, adventure, risk and responsibility. Women gravitate towards them like butterflies towards nectar. Liken the hearts of Lee’s fans to a rollercoaster in fast motion.
Lee’s fans and admirers, at the moment, are dreaming up new drama roles for him while impatiently waiting for him to complete shooting his much-awaited drama, ‘Moon Lovers’ / ‘Scarlet Heart: Ryeo’.
And, many can envision him looking really hot in uniform especially as ‘An Air Force Officer’ / ‘A Commercial Airline Pilot’. That would be just the ‘Perfect Role’ for Lee Joon Gi. He’s got the acting chops, the looks and the charm. The only hitch is, ‘Is there a good script waiting for him?’
However, he could also be ‘A General of an Army / An Armed Forces Officer / A Traffic Policeman on a motorbike / A Detective or Undercover Cop In The Entertainment Industry / The Captain of a Cruise Ship’.
Perhaps, even if not in uniform, Lee would look just as fabulous in an impeccably tailored suit. ‘A Secret Agent, the Korean James Bond’ with a license to kill, perhaps? He’ll show you his swagger. He is not only handsome, he can also throttle some thuggish characters.
Lee Joon Gi is so versatile that he can portray any role if he sets his mind on it.
Lee Joon Gi is 5 foot 10, athletic, trim, handsome, sexy and charming. He is an excellent martial artist and has been involved in many action dramas and movies. His interests include Tae Kwon Do (3rd degree), Hapkido (1st degree) and Taekkyeon (1st degree). And he loves cycling and exercising. He fits the societal stereotype of a ‘real’ man and so, can take on masculine roles any time. But because he is a chameleon actor, he can also take on androgynous roles with confidence and conviction. That’s right. Don’t do a double take.
But fans would insist that he take on the role of ‘A Pilot in a Commercial Airline’ first before taking on other roles.
But, what is a drama without some action scenes from Lee Joon Gi? The script writers should take advantage of Lee’s martial arts skills and spice up their script with some exciting action stuff.
What about adding some dancing scenes – ‘Tango or Lambada’, even some traditional dancing as a bonus? That would be sensational!
And singing too. He should be allowed to sing one of the theme songs. No harm adding in romance and a sprinkling of humour.
Ah, that would be the ultimate Lee Joon Gi drama!
