In 'The Winning Try,' the magic of Yoon Kye-sang worked once again.
The final episode of SBS's Friday-Saturday drama 'The Winning Try' (hereafter 'The Winning Try') beautifully adorned the summer night, achieving a perfect closure. At the center of 'The Winning Try,' overflowing with laughter, emotion, and joy until the very end, was actor Yoon Kye-sang, who deeply occupied the role.
Yoon Kye-sang transformed into Joo Ga-ram, the new head coach of the Hanyang Physical Education High School rugby team, who never missed being the perennial last place, delivering a miraculous performance that made viewers laugh and cry. As he noted, he maximized his humorous side this time, and in the early part of the drama, Joo Ga-ram offered fun that bounced around like a rugby ball.
Joo Ga-ram (played by Yoon Kye-sang) was an idol in the world of rugby beloved by the entire nation, but he disappeared under the infamous label of 'drug user.' The moment he returned as the leader of a team, the miracle of 'The Winning Try' truly began, capturing the audience's interest.
Joo Ga-ram did not get discouraged by the harsh gazes directed at him, nor did he become depressed by the whispers around him. Instead, he switched on the mode of a clear-eyed madman and nurtured his presence in the Hanyang Physical Education High School rugby team. He always wore a childlike smile that made him seem likable, but at crucial moments, he amazed everyone with his candid and straightforward demeanor.
Yoon Kye-sang heightened the drama's attention with his comic acting, which captured the character's unique tempo. The skilled control of comedic points and his outstanding performance meshed together like cogs in a wheel, producing even stronger delight.
Moreover, Yoon Kye-sang's acting skills, reminiscent of a prism reflecting various lights, elicited admiration. From his genuine passion for rugby to his determination to win the National Sports Festival, and the strong leadership that helped him grow into a true one team, he utilized deep gazes, varied expressions, and a clear voice to actively express the multifaceted nature of Joo Ga-ram. Furthermore, he made the character's emotional ups and downs resonate with viewers, reaffirming his status as a reliable actor.
In this way, Yoon Kye-sang traversed between comedy and seriousness, achieving a genre integration in 'The Winning Try.' Thanks to this performance, 'The Winning Try' pleasantly wrapped up with viewership ratings of 6.4% nationwide and 6.6% in the metropolitan area, while Yoon Kye-sang consistently ranked among the top 10 in the popularity sector of drama participants announced by the analysis firm Good Day during the airing period, showcasing his unwavering strength.
"The fact that 'The Winning Try' was able to complete its run safely until the end was, above all, thanks to the love of our viewers. Your support every episode was a miracle for us. I sincerely thank you all. I hope it will be remembered as a drama that brings good memories to our viewers," said Yoon Kye-sang as he bid farewell to 'The Winning Try.'
He has confirmed his next project as the Coupang Play X Genie TV original series 'UDT: Our Neighborhood Special Forces,' and he is set to showcase a new face. There is anticipation for his next steps, which will fill the home theater with laughter.
