Actor Son Sukku left a profound impression on the public with his role as 'Gu Ssi' in the 2022 drama 'My Liberation Notes'. Gu Ssi, a man of few words and seemingly indifferent but gradually opening his heart to Yeom Mi-jeong, along with the line "Worship me," resonated deeply with many viewers, leading Son Sukku to be known as 'Gu Ssi' for a period. Through this role, he garnered explosive attention with a charm distinct from typical romance leads.
Despite the immense popularity of 'Gu Ssi', Son Sukku has not confined himself to a single image, continuously pursuing acting transformations. He has broadened his acting spectrum by taking on diverse characters in various projects, including the villain Kang Hae-sang in the film 'The Roundup', roles in the 'D.P.' series, 'Casino', and 'A Killer Paradox'. Notably, he is set to portray the historical figure No Tae-woo in Yoon Jong-bin's Netflix film 'Ordinary People', alongside Ha Jung-woo (playing Chun Doo-hwan), a transformation that is highly anticipated.
Bloggers commend Son Sukku for consistently presenting new facets of his acting, reaching his prime after his 'Gu Ssi' role. With a unique background including studying at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and serving in the Zaytun Division in Iraq, he began gaining public recognition in his mid-30s. He developed his natural acting style through works like 'Sense8', 'Mother', 'Matrimonial Chaos', and 'Be Melodramatic'. His deep voice, indifferent expressions, and natural delivery add depth to his characters, drawing in the audience.
