Pretty Boy Lee Min Ki Was Hiding The Monster Within

Actor Lee Min Ki successfully reinvented his image by acting a monstrous villain.

In the upcoming movie Monster, Lee Min Ki plays serial killer Tae Soo, a truly monstrous creation.

"Monster" is about serial killer Tae Soo who matches up against Bok Soon, the crazy sister of a woman he murders. The movie was produced by director Hwang In Ho.

Lee Min Ki plays a sociopath who kills without any emotional response. He begins killing people at the behest of his brother but soon evolves into a monster who kills anyone in his way.

Lee Min Ki shows no trace of the "pretty boy" image that followed him around for the duration of his career.

The killer that Lee Min Ki plays lacked the warmness of the previous characters he played on movies. It's such a surprising change that many fans said it's hard to find any trace of Lee Min Ki in his role as Tae Soo.

Lee Min Ki used to say that he really wanted to be featured in a thriller, and this movie fulfills that want. The real question is whether the movie will service for his personal satisfaction or receive critical acclaim.
