Actor Kim Yohan achieved a scoring success in the living room theater with his perfect acting performance.
In 'The Winning Try,' which aired from 22nd to 23rd, Kim Yohan portrayed the role of rugby team captain Yoon Seong-jun, vividly depicting the growth pains of youth in a fierce sports world.
As the drama reached its second half, Kim Yohan's acting and narrative also reached their peak, focusing on his performances in episodes 9 and 10.
#Kim Yohan = Yoon Seong-jun, profound resonance in leadership
In the drama and outside of it, Kim Yohan exudes genuine leadership and instills trust just by his presence. Even when compared to Moon Woong (played by Kim Dan), he demonstrated a strong determination to prove himself.
Especially, despite suffering a shoulder injury from a reckless tackle, his act of enduring pain while saying 'I'm fine' to avoid worrying his teammates showcases his indomitable spirit and elevates immersion in the character to its peak. His restrained acting, swallowing the shoulder pain in front of his teammates, also provided a heavy resonance.
#Kim Yohan's unrequited love that revitalizes the drama's atmosphere
Kim Yohan delicately expressed the excitement and purity of unrequited love, adding an atmosphere of thrill and lingering emotion to the drama. In particular, his gaze filled with jealousy while suspecting the relationship between Seo Woo-jin (played by Park Jeong-yeon) and Moon Woong was outstanding.
When Seong-jun was hospitalized due to a rotator cuff tear, his eagerness to groom his appearance upon hearing that Woo-jin was coming to visit him was enough to revitalize the drama's atmosphere. The scene where Woo-jin dries his hair brought laughter with a pure visual reminiscent of a large dog, and naturally depicted the innocent and clumsy feelings, further enhancing the excitement of unrequited love.
#The portrait of youth suffering from growing pains portrayed by Kim Yohan
The moment when Kim Yohan's true value was most evident was when the sadness of being shunned by his family erupted. The pain of Seong-jun, whose emotions were suppressed after his mother told him to quit rugby following an injury, was fully conveyed through Kim Yohan's tears and heartfelt breathing. This scene, which captured the character's sense of loss, was even more poignantly completed by Kim Yohan's high immersion in the role.
After the line, 'You've never come to see my game. I've never received any encouragement from my mom since I started playing rugby,' he delicately expressed Seong-jun's complicated feelings as he tried to suppress his emotions through tears. His acting, capturing everything from his trembling voice to his wavering gaze, left a deep resonance.
In this way, Kim Yohan is showcasing a wide acting spectrum through this work. His passionate performance has received praise for perfectly guiding the emotional line of the drama. As he immerses himself into Yoon Seong-jun, enriching the character, anticipation builds for what kind of acting he will show until the end.
Meanwhile, SBS's 'The Winning Try,' in which Kim Yohan is giving a passionate performance, airs every Friday and Saturday at 9:50 p.m.
