From The Good, the Bad, the Weird to A Bittersweet Life, these 10 movies featuring Lee Byung-hun are his best, according to Rotten Tomatoes.
South Korean cinema has many talented actors, but they rarely become famous outside the peninsula. As K-dramas and movies become more popular, there's one face everyone recognizes — Lee Byung-hun. Lee is one of the rare actors whose career is as steady in their home country as it is outside of it, although he's pretty much iconic in South Korea.
Lee Byung-hun carries the film as the ambitious Deok-ki, while Kim Go-eun plays Seol-hee. The plot is nothing short of Shakespearean - Deok-ki plots to riot against the king with two friends but ends up betraying them, resulting in one dying and leaving behind a daughter, Seol-hee. As she grows up, her only motive becomes revenge. Lovers of historical dramas and Lee Byung-hun have much to rejoice in with Memories of the Sword.
Soo-hyun, a detective by day, decides to hunt down Kyung-chul and exact a not-so-heroic kind of revenge. Soo-hyun becomes a monster himself, doing to Kyung-chul everything he did to his victims. I Saw the Devil is a horror masterclass and a revenge movie for the strong-hearted.The type of movies Lee fits into really well are period pieces.
The story really follows Major Sophie E. Jean who was sent to investigate the incident at the DMZ. The inconsistencies in the case and witness statements force the Major to rethink the events; the remaining soldiers explain the story, which ends up being a tragic ending of a somewhat wonderful friendship.In another medieval story, Lee Byung-hun doubles down, literally, by playing two characters — the king and his double.
