In this hilariously offbeat meta-comedy, Lee Dong-hwi (The Roundup: Punishment, Broker) plays a self-aware version of himself: a struggling actor still haunted by an old comedic role that clings to him like a bad smell. Desperate to reinvent himself, he lands a role as an anorexic king in a historical drama. Throwing himself into the part, Dong-hwi fasts obsessively and earns the crew’s admiration—until chaos erupts. Bizarre on-set mishaps pile up, and his own brother, cast as an extra, begins to steal the spotlight. Method Acting blends parody and poignancy with sharp wit, heartfelt absurdity, and delivers a soulful portrait of an actor unraveling between illusion and self.
