Actor Lee Ji-hoon made a bold transformation as an adulterer.
On the 16th, in the first broadcast of the new ENA drama 'Salon de Holmes' (directed by Min Jin-ki and Jung Hyun-nam, written by Kim Yeon-sin, produced by Artist Company, A2Z Entertainment, and Neo Entertainment), Lee Ji-hoon appeared as 'Kim Dong-seok', a supermarket manager, leaving a strong impression at the center of shocking infidelity scandals.
On this day's broadcast, a storyline unfolded where Mi-ri (played by Lee Si-young), who moved to Kwangseonju Apartment, found herself embroiled in an unexpected hostage situation after visiting a nearby supermarket. The culprit was Yang-hee (played by Kim Geum-soon), a wife convinced of her husband's affair. After witnessing her husband with his mistress, she stormed into the supermarket with a firearm, engaging in extreme behavior to identify her husband's lover. Kim Geum-soon, who played Yang-hee, recently left a strong impression as 'Jenny's mom' in the Netflix series 'When Life Gives You Tangerines.'
The character 'Kim Dong-seok', played by Lee Ji-hoon, appears to be a neat and diligent supermarket manager, but in reality, he is a duplicitous person committing infidelity behind his wife's back. When he is caught by his wife, he shamelessly pushes her into becoming a delusional and paranoid patient, provoking the viewers' anger.
This incident serves as a pivotal trigger for Gong Mi-ri (played by Lee Si-young), Choo Kyung-ja (played by Jung Young-joo), Park So-hee (played by Kim Da-som), and Jeon Ji-hyun (played by Nam Gi-ae), the four women forming the Holmes detective group. Even with just one appearance, Lee Ji-hoon perfectly executed a key role that ignited the conflict of the story and shifted the narrative flow.
In particular, he vividly portrayed the hypocrisy and meanness hidden behind a good-natured face through detailed expressions, emotional restraint, and a shameless tone. Although his appearance was brief, he left a deep impression with the impact of his character's completeness and engaging performance.
Meanwhile, 'Salon de Holmes' features a comic romance action drama with four women united as problem-solvers of our complex: top-tier detective skills from former ace detectives, a king of insurance, and a queen of part-time jobs. The second episode airs today (17th) at 10 p.m.
