The following are moments where Seo Kang-joon's customized performances showcased an unlimited spectrum based on the scenes.
Detail acting distinguishing past and present
The epilogue of episode 3 included a glimpse of Jung Hae-sung's past. His appearance while revealing his inner thoughts in front of Manager Ahn (Jeon Bae-soo) was undeniably that of a typical teenager. His trembling face and tone to hold back tears were impressive.
On the other hand, Jung Hae-sung, as an adult, portrayed the high school student with a different tone. Attending the school violence commissioner meeting, Jung Hae-sung listed the issues involving the bully Park Tae-soo (Jang Seong-beom) and delivered his lines heavily, saying, "You all know this, right?" Seo Kang-joon's acting stood out with detailed differences that distinguished Jung Hae-sung's past and present.

Seo Kang-joon's comedic performance is one of the elements adding to the drama's fun.

Notably, since he is disguised as a high school student, the sudden appearance of Jung Hae-sung's realistic tone evoked the joys and sorrows of an office worker, eliciting laughter.
Seo Kang-joon's action performance, thrilling like a soda, has also been a topic of discussion. Seo Kang-joon, who eradicated an illegal online gambling operation linked to Park Tae-soo, heightened immersion with his agile movements and flashy techniques.
