Tang Joon-sang in Move to Heaven
Actor Tang Joon-sang got a challenging role in his latest Korean drama, Move to Heaven. He plays the role of Han Gu-ru, a figure who has Asperger’s syndrome. For your information, people who have Asperger’s syndrome have difficulty communicating and interacting with other people despite having intelligent brains. Han Gu-ru’s character, for example, likes fish–especially rays–and knows many species names and characteristics of these animals. “I’m not good at studying other things, but it’s actually quite easy to memorize the lines,” said Tang Joon-sang, at an online press conference hosted by Netflix that was held on May 12th, 2021. When the MC teased that he must be a genius, Tang Joon-sang denied it, saying this was only the result of his training. Hearing Tang Joon-sang being humble, his co-star, actor Lee Je-hoon, immediately joined in. He said the dialogue that Tang Joon-sang rationed was very long and complicated. “His dialogue is really difficult. For me, I don’t think I can do it. When I saw Tang Joon-sang do it, I was amazed,” said the actor who previously appeared in Signal, while Tang Joon-sang bowed shyly. Praise was also given by the director of this drama, Kim Sung-ho. “He’s a genius, he’s a genius actor. [The scene] when he talks about stingrays, is often taken in just one take,” said the director. Lee Je-hoon also gave high praise for Tang Joon-sang’s acting after working together in the Netflix series Move to Heaven. He even wants to keep in touch with the 17-year-old actor for a long time. Lee Je-hoon said, “Our age difference is 19 years. Since we have a generation gap, at first I wondered how we would deal with it. I was worried for Tang Joon-sang, that I might be difficult to approach as a senior.” He continued, “But he treats me so comfortably that I forget my age and we get along like brothers. That’s why I think Cho Sang-gu and Han Geu-ru (their characters) have great chemistry.” Lastly, Lee Je-hoon praised Tang Joon-sang’s capable acting skills despite his very young age. “Although Han Geu-ru is a character that is difficult to describe, Tang Joon-sang researched a lot, worked hard, and performed very well,” he explained. “I believe that because he did so well, Cho Sang-gu also attracted attention, and Move to Heaven could receive so much love,” Lee Je-hoon concluded. Meanwhile, Move to Heaven has received a lot of praise from viewers around the world since its Netflix release on May 14th, 2021. Viewers find the storyline of this drama very good and it feels more interesting thanks to the acting skills of the cast.
