Actor Kim Min-kyu and Choi Yoon-ji have started dating.
The tvN drama "Love, Take Two" is a story of a single mom and her medical student daughter, who unexpectedly enter a second act in life, choosing to live for today's happiness rather than waiting for tomorrow, facing a story of first love that is not an end. Amid favorable reviews as a drama presenting summer's unique refreshing romance, Kim Min-kyu, who plays the role of Boyoung, the son of Jeong-seok (played by Park Hae-jin) and a flower farm operator in Cheongha village, is raising excitement.
In the drama, Boyoung conveys a thrilling tension with Hyo-ri (played by Choi Yoon-ji) through a fraught atmosphere and playful chemistry. When Boyoung hears that Hyo-ri suddenly collapsed, he worries but hesitates even to send a simple message asking how she is. However, the reaction of Boyoung, who is flustered by Hyo-ri's message that arrives as if she has read his mind, brings warm smiles to viewers.
Meanwhile, Boyoung mentions Hyo-ri's illness while rejecting his friend So-yeon's (played by Jeong Hwe-rin) confession. Hearing this, Hyo-ri misunderstands Boyoung's intentions, but ultimately, the two confirm each other's feelings through a heartfelt conversation, leaving a warm aftertaste in the living rooms of viewers.
Especially in the 7th episode, Boyoung confidently responded to Hyo-ri's confession, saying, "These days, everything comes first to you." The two then signaled the start of their "real romance" with a fresh kiss. Boyoung showed Hyo-ri fireflies, offering heartfelt comfort by saying, "Being late isn't necessarily a bad thing. It reveals the darkness more deeply the longer it takes. There's no need to rush if you are late." The two's "first love" was enough to move the hearts of viewers.
Kim Min-kyu is delicately portraying Boyoung's complex yet subtle emotional line with his performance. From excitement toward Hyo-ri to confusion, and even a straightforward approach, he has drawn empathy from viewers. He also showcases a broad narrative of growth, feeling unfamiliar emotions toward his mother, Yeo-jeong (played by Oh Na-ra), who appears suddenly, while showing a mature side in front of his concerned father, Jeong-seok.
With his flexible acting skills capturing the diverse inner world of the character, Kim Min-kyu has captivated viewers. Anticipation for his ongoing performance through "Love, Take Two" is rising.
Meanwhile, "Love, Take Two" is broadcast every Monday and Tuesday at 8:50 p.m. on tvN.
