Lee Jong Suk Was Traumatised By His Role In “The Face Reader”

Actor Lee Jong Suk opened up about his experience acting in the blockbuster historical film "The Face Reader".

During his interview with eNews, he confessed to having a difficult acting in the movie, "When I filmed 'The Face Reader', I developed a certain trauma towards acting. As I watched the movie, I realized that whenever I was in the scene, the flow would be disrupted and it would seem out of place."

"Watching myself act caused a great deal of suffering for me, and I began to scold myself because of it," he continued.

However, it seemed that his director and co-actor though otherwise, "The director and senior Son Kang Ho even praised me, but I was still feeling problematic because I thought the scenes stood out in a bad way. After filming the movie, I was in a difficult place with my acting and I was scared."

His next movie "Hot Blooded Youth" turned out to be a positive healing experience for him, and he shared, "Being out in the countryside breathing fresh air and taking in the sights, I was able to let go of everything and just focus on my acting. I want to improve my acting in the future."
