Actor Kang Hyung-seok made a strong impression from the first episode of the drama 'Second Shot at Love.'
Kang Hyung-seok left a powerful impression with his stable acting and cheerful character in episodes 1 and 2 of the tvN Monday-Tuesday drama 'Second Shot at Love' (written by Myung Soo-hyun and Jeon Ji-hyun, directed by Jang Yu-jeong), which aired on the 12th and 13th.
Kang Hyung-seok plays the role of Bong Seon-wook, a taekwondo instructor and a high school classmate of Han Geum-joo (Choi Soo-young) and Seo Ui-jun (Gong Myoung). Appearing in training clothes, he showcased a lively presence with his cheerful personality and sharp wit.
In addition, Kang Hyung-seok naturally brought chemistry with various characters with his unique comfortable and friendly charm. Seon-wook had a reality friendship chemistry with Geum-joo, who returned to her hometown after a broken engagement due to alcohol, and a tension-filled chemistry with Lee Young-woong (played by Park Gang-seob) as they argued over meat, making the drama more entertaining. Kang Hyung-seok's performance, which shows perfect synergy with anyone, is expected to provide enjoyment at the right moments, generating interest in his future activities.
Seon-wook unintentionally spread the news in the neighborhood that Ui-jun had an accident because of a drunken Geum-joo, which sparked intrigue. Furthermore, it revealed that Ui-jun, who was doing well, not only came back but also stopped drinking while working at a rural health center, which he conveyed to Geum-joo. Kang Hyung-seok intensified viewers' expectations by hinting that Seon-wook's story, which led to the distancing between Geum-joo and Ui-jun, will play an important bridging role in their relationship.
At the end of the second episode, it was revealed that Seon-wook has been secretly in love with Geum-joo's older sister Han Hyun-joo (played by Jo Yeon-hee), providing a twist. Seon-wook, who had only shown a playful side, turned red and fidgeted while Hyun-joo whispered to him, creating an innocent vibe. He also managed to capture the audience's hearts by saying that she still looks like 'the idol of Bocheon,' even though she has two children.
As characters with their own stories gather in Bocheon, the lively prelude to 'Second Shot at Love' has begun. Among them, Kang Hyung-seok's outstanding performance, which undoubtedly caught the viewers' attention from the first appearance, plays a significant role in enriching the drama. It will be interesting to see how he provides support in the complicated relationship between Geum-joo and Ui-jun, and how he will navigate Seon-wook's secret love in the upcoming third episode.
In response, viewers expressed enthusiastic reactions, stating, 'Kang Hyung-seok's acting is great,' 'The visuals here are nice. Actor Kang Hyung-seok is handsome,' 'It's nice to see you here, Officer of the Fishing Village,' 'Kang Hyung-seok is so funny. It's entertaining!' and 'Seon-wook's friend is also quite engaging.'
The tvN Monday-Tuesday drama 'Second Shot at Love,' featuring Kang Hyung-seok, airs every Monday and Tuesday at 8:50 p.m.
