My Take
What draws me to Kim Jong-soo is the unglamorous path he took. Starting out as Alan in Equus back in 1985 and earning his stripes on Ulsan's regional stages before reaching film and television, he reads to me as a craftsman rather than a celebrity. I have a soft spot for actors who quietly anchor a production instead of chasing the spotlight, and his trajectory from local theater to screen work suggests exactly that kind of patient, unflashy dedication. He is the sort of performer whose presence you only fully appreciate once you notice how much weight he carries in a scene.
