《方法演技》是一部刻意追求搞笑的電影，其不動聲色的手法使其更加有趣和令人心酸。具有諷刺意味的是，這部非凡的喜劇電影中的明星是演員李東輝（由他自己扮演），他討厭喜劇表演。盡管他努力重塑自己，但機會似乎難以捉摸，他發現自己越來越沮喪。出乎意料的是，他收到了一個令人驚訝的邀請，在一部傳統古裝劇中扮演一位國王。為了完善他對這位威嚴的皇室人物的刻畫，東熙潛心于方法表演。然而，在這部歷史劇中，事情很快變得不同尋常。方法演技巧妙地平衡了混亂的拍攝環境和家庭敘事，在處理創造性元素的同時，以無縫的精確度描繪了人物的掙扎，從而產生了一部出色的喜劇。最重要的是，演員們的表演達到了恍惚的程度，確實非常出色。

　　The main character is Dr. Max Holst, a successful neurosurgeon. One day an intense little man named Steinmetz shows up, who has the real ability to create objects out of thin air, using only his mind. As no one believes him at first, he is held at a ward for mental patients, but manifests the key to his door and escapes. As he has a special interest in Dr. Holst, Steinmetz subsequently invites Holst to his large mansion, which is full of expensive paintings and sculptures, and proves to him that he can in fact materialise objects. Steinmetz’s abilities are evolving by leaps and bounds, and is progressing from being able to create objects only to being able to create living things. His ultimate ambition is to be able to create a human being. He tells Dr. Holst that if he will only perform a certain brain operation on him, Steinmetz will become able to attain his goal. He’s got all the necessary equipment set up in his basement. Dr. Holst, however, is too spooked by the whole thing to agree to this mad scheme, and refuses. Steinmetz then sets about manipulating Holst’s life, to pressure him into performing the operation. By then Steinmetz has become able to create a temporary human being, and in the hope that he can perhaps make his own creation perform the operation, he manifests a doppelganger of Dr. Holst. This double proceeds to take over Dr. Holst’s life, creating chaos for him professionally and personally. And then Dr. Holst starts fighting back. The ending has the dual virtue of being both unexpected and satisfying.
