Some Korean actors had taken on traumatizing roles that left them with long-lasting mental problems. From The Glory to Squid Game, what K-Dramas were so bad for the cast's mental health?

Imagine hating an actor for doing their job so well? 😂
Fr, yes you can have opinions on the character in the show , but remember they're real people and theyre just playing roles
Their agencies should help them

That’s when you know you’re a good actor/actress
The same thing happened to that kid that played Geoffrey in Game Of Thrones. I don’t think he’s acting anymore.
Shin Ye-Eun's acting in "The Glory" was phenomenal, I really hated her character and felt sick every time she was in a scene. From a viewer's point of view, the "curling iron" scene was the most horrific in the entire series, I cannot imagine how damaging to her mental health was filming it. What's really sickening tho, is that it happened in real life, to a real teenager. Kim Jae-Wook played another twisted character in "Death's Game", but maybe because of how he felt after "Voice" he was able to deal with the role in a safer way this time around.
Same-- Shin Ye Eun still makes me shiver now
God loves you! Repent and believe that Jesus paid the price for our sins! He can give you so much love, joy and peace!💕.
that's why debriefing is very important they should have a counselor on the set after an intense scene
Maybe that's why actors play around and joke around on the set to break the intensity and to snap back to reality.
Imagine writing hate comments for a role someone played in a tv show or movie. People rly dnt have anything better to do with their life's 😂😅 disgusting
True, but if I can be completely be honest some actors are so good that you think it's them. When I watched the world of the married, the actors were so good I couldn't help but dislike the actors especially han seohee, but I would also would like to add that I was 12 when watching it (so I was just a kid and immature) I never sent a hate comment and I was aware it was fake but I couldn't help but feel hate because as humans we attach personality to faces and if the only personality even if acting you see is disgusting behavior you cant help but attach it to the face. And korean dramas tend to be more extreme and more evoking, longer and using pathos than American shows so it was also smt new but not new to me. But now that I'm older I love han seohee and I follow and keep up to date and watch her dramas.
There’s absolutely no excuse to send hate messages/emails to these actors for being too good at their roles. People need to grow up and stop being ignorant dickheads.
People who hate this actress are really nasty and dumb.
@@uforc49kie69What you said about „the world of the married“ actually really applies to me with Um Kijoon who played Joo dantae. He was so evil, that when I watched „the escape of the seven“ I couldn’t help but think that he will end up evil, even if he‘s (kind of) a good person, who wants to get revenge for his daughter. I didn‘t finish it yet so please don‘t do any spoilers and maybe he will actually turn out to be evil?
@@uforc49kie69 Disliking actors for acting sounds like raw and unfiltered stupidity, to be brutally honest lol.
This is why method acting needs very close supervision, you never know how it will hit you once you immerse yourself to the character.
Spoken by someone that doesn't know anything about method acting SMDH. Al Pacino, Christian Bale, Robert De Niro, Sally Fields... many great actors and actresses are method actors. You don't see Robert De Niro go crazy after filming Taxi Driver and Cape Fear. Al Pacino played the actual devil in Devil's Advocate. People need to stop assuming and making comments on subject matter they know nothing about.
@@jamesmin1239 Shut the actual f** up. Just bc some people aren't obviously affected to YOU- a LOSER nobody on the internet with a hobby, doesn't mean it doesn't actually affect them. You also have Evan Peters as a great example of why to be careful with method acting. He has played so many disturbingly twisted characters over and over that he had to go MIA for years only to come back and do a serial killer project bc at this point he is obsessed and stuck in a loop. You need to get your act together bc you do not have any idea what the people you listed off are going through- you just like to run your ignorant mouth off like the idiot you are. Not understanding the basics of emotional reasoning and factors that would obviously take a toll on someone is not logic- it isnt smart, and it isnt the truth. Its something idiots do bc they have too much time on their hands. Touch grass. Have a conversation. Get a job. Suck a d***. Do something bc this isnt working out for you.
@@jamesmin1239 Also you have absolutely no idea the types of support systems, the types of people and thebtypes of help the actors you listed had or have. You say you hate ignorant people who assume things. You are assuming LITERALLY everything you have written down. Shut. Up.
@minjee3643 once again, another person that doesn't know what they're talking about. If you watch interviews of these actors and they discuss their process, they are well aware that they are acting. As Christian Bale said, "if I was truly the character, I would keep driving and not stop when they say cut." The fact that the OP so matter-of-factly thinks that method acting requires supervision is laughable at best. Shut. Up.
@@jamesmin1239 I was just reading you reply since I just got notified and was willing to open a conversation but holy sht are you this abrasive when someone disagrees with you?
Lee Dong Wook also mentioned that he had to take a break after portraying Seo Moon Jo in Strangers from Hell. He said that he wasn’t able to meet friends as it was hard for him to shake off the character and that the person that he saw in the mirror wasn’t himself but still Moon Jo. Scary thought! 😮
That drama was sooo good tho!!!
@@pratikshadash6487 and his acting was perfect! one of his best for sure
that drama is something else.even i felt my personality changing while i was watching it.i was always so angry and sensitive.honestly scary
Shin Ye Eun should be booked for more roles. Her acting was on point. As much as I hated seeing her on my screen when watching the drama, it was because she was so good at acting. The way she portrayed the character really did it justice and her contribution cannot be understated.
As a former actress in training, I remember when there was a trial for a very dark character for a play that we all had to try for. I remember being in so out of it during my prep and when I had to go up on stage I started to have a panic/anxiety attack because I felt such a heavy and evil energy doing it - I ended up in the hospital right after. Mental health is no joke, and it can take such a huge toll on who you are and how you perceive the world; there should be much professional support in any acting roles.
Correct
Glad to hear you are doing much better now. But you did touch on a very important subject - spirits. I don't think most people comprehend that the world we live in is not only made up of what we can see. And stepping into a role requires you to open up yourself to be possessed by these spirits in order to enhance your performance. The trouble is by design, human bodies are vessels and once you have emptied out what makes you uniquely you then you become lost.
I Saw The Devil was horrific. Poor man, having to deal with the psychological after effects of playing such a role.
That movie was an absolute masterpiece

Its hard to play a role which is against your character its very understandable why actors have mental issues because
It will never be simple
Also lee dong wook was effected by his psychopath role in strangers from hell. He got soo immersed into the role that even after the drama he had that creepy grin on his face until he noticed
The biggest example of this is Heath Ledger doing the Joker. I believe the role killed him. That's why I'm concerned when I see kids playing zombies. Not good for mental health.
Drugs killed him and others used his death to hype the movie
He suffered from insomnia for a long time even before joker. Thats why hes taking those pills to help him sleep. Also drug abuse.
He became dependent on drugs because of the role which ultimately killed him.
I think before jumping into roles like this, actors should undergo self-awareness first so they'll be able to understand themselves first before wearing/playing a new character/role..
Unfortunately, you can't always know how something will affect you until you're already in the middle of it. Conceptualizing it ahead of time is not the same as having a person in front of you in full bruise and scar makeup screaming and crying. It can take hours to film some scenes, and the lights on set can get very hot - there's a limit to how much you can prepare for where your brain will be when the exhaustion starts to kick in and the pain from your scene partner seems so real. Especially for The Glory - the girl who played the teenage victim did a great job with the role, which only makes it harder for the girl playing the villain. There should definitely be follow-up counseling, though, and viewers need to stop attacking actors just because they hated the character they played.
Easier said than done. You'll never know how it feels until you experience it yourself.
These are the pitfalls of using "method acting" as a technique for getting into character. And this is why more studios should hire more *intimacy coordinators* to ensure not only the success of a production but also the well-being of their talent. Intimacy coordinators are efficient in giving actors the skills and teaching methods on how to separate themselves from their characters without compromising their performance.
I never watch dramas where killing people, or a lot of violence. I just noticed they are making me feel durty. Now I save my eyes and my soul from anything that could badly affect it.
Great choice
Somehow all the cast of the Penthouse are perfectly fine. They must all be very strong people especially Kim So Yeon. I would go nuts if I had to step into the shoes of Cheon Seo Jin
Some of them were affected

Shin ye eun is such a great actress
not Jae Wook playing a serial killer in Death's Game this year.... boy is typecasted but he is so damn good at playing psychopaths. Hope he takes a good healthy break after each role
This is very understandable. I remember discussing this with a friend and they just couldn’t understand how people can’t just draw a line. I feel like this is such a natural response. We watch these films and they have such an impact. I can think of many times I would think about a movie for days, bc it gets you thinking, it exposes you to a world unfamiliar and makes you accept that that’s someone’s reality. Can’t even imagine how it is for actors who are in that mindset for months while filming, not to begin thinking what they have to go trough to get into the character and understand their thoughts
Yeji always so good in whatever she does. Seems like she and the actor from Nevertheless/Say My Name go deep into the abyss.
Kim Jae-Wook: *"I don't want to play another villain, for the time being"* Also Kim Jae-Wook: *Proceeds to play the Villain again In "Death's Game" and "Like A Dragon: Gaiden"*
“For the time being” so he must have waited almost 5+ years to feel okay again to play another villain role.
Look at the difference between date Voice was released in 2017 Death game was released in 2023-24 Idk about the 3rd one

I’m glad Lee Joong Ok has been able to play comedic roles since Strangers from Hell. I think the fact that these actors suffered from this proves what talented and genuinely kindhearted and empathetic they are.
Shin ye un literally crazed me out but after I watched other Kdrama of her she literally the most innocent thing
Choi Min Sik is a sick actor. I couldnt separate him from his role.

I've just seen the beginning in " i saw the devil" where he cuts her to pieces while she's alive..istg I've never ever seen smtng so disturbing. I just stopped watching that mvi after watching that scene
A lot of these comments are so ignorant and cringey AF. I always find it ironic that people who love k-dramas and claim to love k-culture don't even know the true hardships of being a celebrity in Korea. The heavy emotional and mental toll creates these underlying conditions and are only exacerbated by playing these roles. Korea still considers mental health topics as a taboo subject. Instead of getting professional help or talking to a professional, celebrities are told by their management companies to keep it to themselves. Look at the kpop industry. PS: to the narrator of these videos, at least TRY to say their names correctly... and stop with the vocal fry.
That's right even tho am not familiar with kpop but I know what they go through I follow their news and I know how they are treated even actors
Honestly, Save Me was quite traumatising and Seo Yea Ji did excellent job potraying her character, she deserves much more credit to be honest. Also, people who unfollow actors just because the dislike their role is so dumb obviously every show needs a bad character because that's what makes it interesting and if you hate the character so much, it means they're doing a good job.

Do these people don't know what acting is??? Imaging hating on actors/actress because of their character thats RIDICULOUS asf ofcourse it's their job to ACT so they WILL DO IT Just hate the character and not on people who are portraying the role. People don't really have a sense omg it really pisses me off!!!
I think it’s extremely important nowadays for these actors to come out on shows and show themselves as their real self. In the 80’s, 90’s it made sense that people would associate you with a character that was evil and you couldn’t do much about it, I mean especially in Korea where it was probably hard for people to find other things if you. Like even in 2016. Won’t he drama while you were sleeping. Apparently the main protagonist would get people saying he’s evil irl. Like in 2016? That modern, people still managed to think the character was real, and he was a real villain. So it’s important for agencies and hopefully everyone around them to get their social media PR game on point. Get them a bunch of shows that can show how different they are from that character.
For me (my opinion) the bad guy role is the worst role in all cinema, because the actor can distort his true role and at the same time the people who insult you in reality.
If you hate them, that means they are a damn good actor
I love shin yeeun she was amazing in the drama revenge for others
Why didn't you explain what about Lee Jong Mal's character made it so difficult to escape?
The Knetizens are much more forgiving towards movie actors than the K-Drama actors. Shin ye eun was already a well known name and it was not a big deal for her to have not taken the role in “The glory” but she loved the script and wanted to be a part of the project wanting to show and expand her acting range but boy it did not go well.
Its really the fans who make things miserable to actors
*how u add the line rotationg around the numbers at the top?? please tellme*
The actors getting tricked by their own coworkers insane because everyone is so good that it develops real trauma
People hating someone for doing their job exceptionally well is so wrong in many ways.... You may have your reasons... But how many or deep your reason is that would only sounds like an excuse.
yeeun scared me so bad.. like shes an amazing actor
Its interessting to see the other side.. for me its actually this, when i watch a show/movie, and theres a villian and i really hate them; it just shows me how good the actors are. its sad that some people dont splitt it (the first case)
The subconscious does not know the difference between real & reel.
Some actors may find it emotionally challenging to portray certain characters, especially those that involve dark or morally complex themes. Here are a few potential reasons why actors might experience distress: 1. **Emotional Immersion**: Actors often immerse themselves deeply into their roles to convey authentic emotions. Portraying a bad character can require tapping into negative emotions like anger, sadness, or guilt, which can be emotionally draining. 2. **Psychological Impact**: Delving into the psyche of a morally ambiguous character can stir up personal issues or unresolved traumas for some actors, leading to psychological distress. 3. **Disconnecting from the Character**: After filming, some actors may struggle to detach themselves from the character they portrayed, leading to difficulty in returning to their normal mindset or emotions. 4. **Public Perception**: Actors may also face backlash or criticism from the public for playing negative roles, which can contribute to feelings of guilt or self-doubt. 5. **Lack of Support**: In some cases, actors may not receive adequate support or resources to process the emotional toll of their roles, leading to increased vulnerability to psychological distress.
Seo yeji 😢❤❤❤❤
I wish all of them success
Goes to show; fake it til you make it behave a way and emotions will follow
Son Yeji has to be one of the best actresses, so immersive and realistic
People are sick to think an acoter is the actual role. They should be celibated instead of tormented for doing such amaxing work. Its no easy task especially in korean style of writing to do these roles. But its showing you the mental state of society blinded in a fiction world to not face the real world.
“Thats very nice, Now lets see Paul Allens card”
I can’t help but recall Anya Taylor-Joy saying that sets for horror/thriller movies are always so light. I imagine it helps separate fiction from reality. Imagine how exhausting and emotionally draining it is to constantly be immersed in a character set in a terrifying situation. That’s why I never liked scenes where explicit torture is shown. It feels too real
Idk why, this made me sick to think about. Is this normal?
the finest example of not because a country is civilized, means people are equally civilized
I cant unsee i saw the devil actor he scared me the whole movie he grapes women, students.....its hard to like the movie its amazing the fight scenes but his role scared me ....

cant see the glory actress anything aside being a bully. she's really convincing that she's already a typecast actress for me 😂
Being unable to seperate fiction from reality is an early sign of dementia. You should get checked
You should see her on variety shows, you will be able to notice how bubbly and charming she is... a completely different person from that character and she has also done many other roles~
Watch revenge of others which came before glory she played female lead in that where she takes on bullies
damn must have been hard for them
What type of crazy person gets angry at an actor for something their character does?
Idk why but Heath Ledger’s face came to my mind
For shin ye eun in glory, I think her role as bully is kinda weird. Her face is too cute to play as bully, rather than the traditional bully character.... you know.
that's the point, whoever commits bullying always has two faces, you can see this when she grows up and creates a false image for her husband and the world but for her friends at school she shows who she really is

It's because the environment off set is not positive enough.

hello
Weak minded ppl who simply like acting shouldn't do the job just bcs they like it. 1st they should ask themselves can they handle the downsides. I only excuse actors in horror movies or shows bcs they work in the most anxiety and fear inducing environment and have to see terrifying images since sometimes the "monster" is physical effects but they too should also be mindful abt choosing such roles in the 1st place. And a fear of supernatural is way more dangerous and scary mindset bcs even against the most evil human being you can still somehow try to defend yourself but against something not human you're done for. So bscly what I want to say is don't accept every role just bcs of money if you have the slightest doubt that it will "mess you up" and then complain abt it. For ex. I know my weakness is some types of horror, ik I can't watch it and ik that if I was an actress I wouldn't be able to film any movie or show of that genre, even if you're in need of money there will always be some role that you may not like bcs it's not "big" enough but pays.
This is why I don’t like these kind of films, the actors are so talented but they don’t get the mental support they need after, and I don’t think it’s worth their lives just for entertainment purposes. There’s plenty of messed up stories and news cases you can watch for thrills if you need them. (Not trying to hate on anyone, I have loads of friends who enjoy horror and thriller, etc and we still like each other.)
And they become more famous
Then she will NEVER receive an Oscar as Charlize Theron in Monster...
