Actor Kim Jae-won appeared as Cheon Sang-hak in the Netflix series You and Everything Else (writer Song Hye-jin / director Jo Young-min / produced by Kakao Entertainment), delivering a special resonance.
The Netflix series You and Everything Else is a story that faces all the moments of two friends, Eun-jung and Sang-yeon, who like and admire each other the most at every moment, while also being jealous and resentful, intertwined throughout their lives.
Cheon Sang-hak, played by Kim Jae-won, is Sang-yeon (played by Park Ji-hyun)'s older brother and Eun-jung (played by Kim Goeun)'s first love. He, who often encountered Eun-jung when she visited the house, one day on the way home after seeing Eun-jung off to her house filmed her neighborhood alley with a camera and said, "pretty." Cheon Sang-hak's perspective, who likes taking photos, felt unfamiliar to Eun-jung, but he soon discovered a modest beauty and lingered for a while. This brief but striking moment remained in Eun-jung's memory for a long time.
Cheon Sang-hak is Eun-jung's unforgettable first love, a character who has a clear and neat young man's image. Kim Jae-won naturally portrayed the fresh and warm atmosphere of first love and convincingly completed the character's lyricism. In particular, Kim Jae-won's unique pure and clear image blended well with the character, leaving a deep aftertaste for viewers.
Kim Jae-won showed his presence with restrained emotional expression and deep acting. Through subtle changes in his eyes and facial expressions, he delicately depicted the character's emotions and more vividly imprinted the meaning Cheon Sang-hak holds within Eun-jung and Sang-yeon's narrative. His acting conveyed the character's quiet resonance more deeply and added special meaning to the work as a whole.
Having proven his presence through various characters in dramas such as Our Blues, King the Land and The Tale of Lady Ok, Kim Jae-won once again left a strong impression with this work, demonstrating his strength as an actor. He is slated to appear as the reindeer in Yumi's Cells 3, scheduled to air in the first half of next year, raising greater expectations for his future moves.
Meanwhile, You and Everything Else can be viewed on Netflix.
