Actor Choo Young-Woo showcased a prickly yet soft charm, reborn as the 'first love icon.'
Choo Young-Woo played 'Gyeonwoo,' who falls in love for the first time, in the tvN Monday-Tuesday drama 'Gyeonwoo and the Fairy' (directed by Kim Yong-Wan, written by Yang Ji-Hoon, planned by CJ ENM, produced by Studio Dragon, DEXTER, and EO Contents Group) that aired on the 1st.
Gyeonwoo's heart, which was once icy with its sharp thorns towards everyone, melted like snow. Because he was constantly blamed by those born under a bad star, Gyeonwoo was preoccupied with hiding his feelings and ultimately could not stop Seong-Ah (played by Cho Yi-Hyun) from breaking through the barricade he had built.
As Gyeonwoo's black-and-white world transformed into a colorful one, his expressions also became more diverse. Gyeonwoo began to reveal his honest feelings, smiling to himself while recalling Seong-Ah. He activated his first love radar, remembering every word and action of Seong-Ah, turning into a meerkat focused solely on her.
In such a way, Seong-Ah, dressed in shaman clothing, appears before Gyeonwoo, who is dreaming of happiness for the first time in his life. Faced with a brutal reality, Gyeonwoo was left in shock. "I once dreamed that 'it would be okay for me to be happy even just once,'" Gyeonwoo's heartfelt narration resonated with viewers.
Thus, Choo Young-Woo meticulously sculpted the inner turmoil of Gyeonwoo, who is caught in a whimsical fate and experiences extreme emotions, proving his solid acting skills once again. He delicately expressed the process of a prickly hedgehog transforming into a soft meerkat through subtle trembling eyes and an involuntary rising smile, maximizing the thrill. Choo Young-Woo's unique stable acting tone heightened concentration and drew viewers in. As he summoned the fresh emotions of youthful romance, all eyes are on Choo Young-Woo, who has ascended as the 'first love icon.'
Meanwhile, Choo Young-Woo's tvN 'Gyeonwoo and the Fairy' airs every Monday and Tuesday at 8:50 p.m.
