Lee Jun Ki reveals he doesn’t use stunt doubles on ‘Arang and the Magistrate’
The September 12th episode of MBC‘s ‘Arang and the Magistrate‘ was named the most favorite episode by fans of the drama thanks to a particular scene where Lee Jun Ki shows off his incredible action skills.
Playing the role of ‘Eun Oh’, Lee Jun Ki used a fan as a weapon to take down an entire crowd of enemies. As Lee Jun Ki is known for taking on all scenes himself without the use of stunt doubles, it should come to no surprise that every single scene filmed to date was completed without the use of not only stunt doubles, but also wires.
It’s thanks to his passion for his work that he managed to captivate the eyes and hearts of viewers, shooting the drama to a first place ranking in viewer ratings.
Martial arts director Kim Min Soo, who previously worked with the actor in ‘Time Between Dog and Wolf‘, stated, “Before the filming of his action scenes, he’ll always call me to discuss how he’s picturing the actions and what kind of actions he’d like to add. There are a lot of moves that he pulls off that other actors normally would struggle with. With the skills he has now, he would be welcome to any action school due to the professionalism of his stunts. He has a special skill that allows him to adjust his body to new moves and completely control them from that point on. I know that all of the martial arts directors out there would love for an opportunity to work with him.”
The scene actually took the cast from 9 p.m. to 7 a.m. to complete, and considering all of the action involved, Lee Jun Ki was in a complete state of fatigue by the end of it. Like the professional he is, though, he never let it show on his face and worked his very best until the end.
Viewers praised, “Lee Jun Ki’s fan action was the best! There can be no other like it!”, “No one can come close to Lee Jun Ki with such action scenes”, “I didn’t feel like I was watching a scene, but rather a real fight!”, and “His moves were so smooth and natural, you could tell he wasn’t trying to look cool or anything
