Kim Yoo Jung’s 20th Century Girl has an impressive cast of guests.
As the current Korean film with the hottest school theme, 20th Century Girl brings the audience back to a beautiful, but regretful, time of youth. Besides the sweet and bitter love story of the main couple Kim Yoo Jung – Byeon Woo Seok, 20th Century Girl also has a cult guest cast, surprising the audience.
Lee Beom Soo
Lee Beom Soo is the first name that makes the audience excited when suddenly appearing in 20th Century Girl. The actor, born in 1970, broke his usual romantic look and played a teacher at the school where the main characters studied when they were young. This teacher is known for being disciplined and strict, often punishing naughty students or breaking the rules. In one scene, the teacher punished Lee Yoo Jung for bringing the movie An Affair starring Lee Jung Jae in the class.
Han Hyo Joo
According to a share from the 20th Century Girl crew, Han Hyo Joo accepted the role because of Kim Yoo Jung. And as expected, Han Hyo Joo portrayed the adult female version of herself. No longer a mischievous schoolgirl, the future Bo Ra has calmed down and is working at the radio station. At the end, she learns the truth about Woon Ho and has a very emotional ending.
Park Hae Joon
Having swept across Asia with his “obnoxious” role in The World of the Married, actor Park Hae Joon also had a surprising appearance in 20th Century Girl. Park Hae Joon plays a doctor at the infirmary, specifically in the scene where Bo Ra pretends to be sick.
Gong Myung
Having co-starred in the Red Sky, Gong Myung appeared to support his co-star Kim Yoo Jung. In 20th Century Girl, Gong Myung plays Bo Ra’s dating partner. But because the guy’s name is Woon Ho, the same name as the male lead who went away, so she sobbed and blamed him for constantly apologizing for fear of misunderstanding.
Ryu Seung Ryong
This is a detail that not everyone can recognize at first sight. A-list actor with many box office records Ryu Seung Ryong also had a small “voice contribution” in 20th Century Girl. In the movie, the actor plays the father of the male lead Woon Ho.
Ong Seong Wu
Finally, it is the handsome actor Ong Seong Wu. Not only has the role of “fun”, Ong Seong Wu also has the task of becoming the unexpected knot of the whole movie. When Bo Ra went to the exhibition, she thought she would see the Woon Ho again that she had been looking forward to for many years. Unexpectedly, the person named Joseph is Jun Ho – Woon Ho’s younger brother. Meeting Bo Ra, Jun Ho hands her a tape containing Woon Ho’s memories and informs her of his brother’s situation.
