Method

Method (메소드, 2017) is a South Korean drama you can watch online on iFILM, directed by Pang Eun-jin. Two actors are cast as a gay couple in a stage production called Liberation: Park Sung-woong plays a seasoned theatre veteran, Oh Seung-hoon is a former pop idol with more fame than craft — at first.

Rehearsals change things. The method-acting sessions grow intense, the boundary between character and self starts to dissolve, and what begins as technique becomes something harder to walk back. Yoon Seung-ah plays Jae-ha's close friend, watching it all from the outside and unable to intervene. A taut, claustrophobic drama that takes one question — where does the role end? — and presses it until something breaks. Stream Method (2017) on iFILM.
