Actor Kim Min-kyu has risen as the 'face of first love.'
tvN's Monday-Tuesday drama 'Love, Take Two' (directed by Yoo Je-won, written by Sung Woo-jin, planned and produced by Studio Dragon and Showrunners) tells the story of a single mother and her medical student daughter, who unexpectedly enter a second act of life, deciding to live for the happiness of today instead of tomorrow, encountering the first love that is not the end but the beginning. Since the first broadcast on the 4th, it has received a passionate response as a healing drama suitable for summer, and Kim Min-kyu, who plays the young farmer Ryu Bo-hyeon from Cheongha village, has captured attention.
In the first episode, the fateful first meeting between Ryu Bo-hyeon and Lee Hyori (played by Choi Yoon-ji) was portrayed. While looking for Mi-mi Halmae (played by Kang Ae-sim), Bo-hyeon discovered a broken-down camper. There, he met its owner, Hyori, and her friend, Lee Sook (played by Yang Yu-jin). Despite his father Ryu Jeong-seok's (played by Park Hae-joon) discouragement, Bo-hyeon insisted on fixing the camper himself. His nonchalant awareness of Hyori from their first meeting provided a gentle thrill.
Meanwhile, in the second episode that aired yesterday (the 5th), a subtle atmosphere surrounded the rapidly growing closeness between Kim Min-kyu and Choi Yoon-ji, arousing curiosity. When he spotted Hyori falling into the sea, Bo-hyeon jumped in without hesitation, and he discreetly looked after Hyori while feigning ignorance of a quarrel with his mother, Lee Ji-an (played by Yum Jung-ah). He even showed a cheekiness by taking Hyori to his flower farm to ask for repayment for fixing the camper. Although the chemistry they showcased was impressive, a cold response followed a casual question about why he argued with his mother, yet Bo-hyeon still maintained his gentle consideration for Hyori.
In this way, Kim Min-kyu successfully transformed from the sharp and cynical character Cha Jin-wook in the recently released drama 'Chungdam International High School 2' to the reliable rural youth Ryu Bo-hyeon. With his delicate expressiveness and delivery, he vividly communicated the overwhelming emotions arising from new relationships, heightening expectations for the story he will complete in the future.
With this 'Love, Take Two,' Kim Min-kyu, who is newly emerging as the icon of first love, attracts attention for what kind of excitement he will bring to the home theater.
Meanwhile, 'Love, Take Two,' starring Kim Min-kyu, airs every Monday and Tuesday at 8:50 p.m. on tvN.
