Continuing on an endless upward trend, here are three of Choo Young-Woo's charm points that are propelling the drama's popularity.
▲ Visuals that are irresistible at first sight TEN
Since the character 'Gyeonwoo' has the setup of falling in love at first sight with Park Seong-A (played by Cho Yi-Hyun), Choo Young-Woo captivated viewers with his stunning visuals and tall physique from his first appearance. Choo Young-Woo's eye-acting that embodies the narrative of 'Gyeonwoo' also played a significant role in increasing the drama's immersion.
Especially when holding a bow, Choo Young-Woo's charm stood out even more. Even in a chaotic situation, he maintained a focused expression combined with well-defined arm muscles and an unwavering posture as he drew the bowstring back, ultimately hitting the target perfectly at 10 points, hitting the target as well as the hearts of the viewers.
▲ Extreme charms that are impossible not to fall in love with TEN
Choo Young-Woo's characters 'Gyeonwoo' and 'Bong-Soo' share one body but express contrasting attractively different charms, catching the attention of the one they love.
"I'll protect you now," Gyeonwoo seems to prove his warm-heartedness through his actions, boldly throwing himself into danger. On the other hand, 'Bong-Soo' conveys a different irresistible ambiance with direct and reckless behavior, exciting viewers at home.
▲ Detailed acting that is captivating TEN
While helping a friend caught in a suicidal spirit, Gyeonwoo found himself unintentionally entangled in a skin issue, his features becoming profoundly expressive. Choo Young-Woo vividly portrayed the gradual dominance of the evil spirit Bong-Soo, acting even with his unfocused eyes.
Later, Choo Young-Woo expressed the nuances between 'Gyeonwoo' and 'Bong-Soo'—mimicking Gyeonwoo's facial expressions and speech through voice and action with detailed precision. He evoked a peculiar sense of déjà vu with Bong-Soo's characteristic cunning speech and expression, culminating in a striking ending with the terrifying line, "I devoured them."
In this way, Choo Young-Woo has portrayed the fated-to-die Gyeonwoo, the secretive evil spirit Bong-Soo, and Bong-Soo pretending to be Gyeonwoo with such minute differences, further proving the breadth of his acting spectrum, performing an 'acting showcase' every episode, thus amplifying expectations for his future performances.
