Han Seok-kyu's negotiation skills that break conventions are completing the thrilling flavor unique to "Shin's Project".

In tvN Monday-Tuesday drama "Shin's Project" (written by Ban Giri / directed by Shin Kyung-soo / planned by Studio Dragon / produced by DoFrame), negotiation hero Shin Sajang (played by Han Seok-kyu) is receiving strong acclaim for his outrageous negotiation techniques. Each time he unravels the situation in a different way while guaranteeing a satisfying conclusion, effectively targeting viewers' hearts.

# hostage negotiator for the kidnapper, not the hostage! - episode 3

Shin Sajang questioned endings that most people readily accept and drew attention by closing negotiations in his own way. Becoming the negotiation representative for Lee Sang-hyun (played by Kang Seung-ho), who kidnapped the mayor to reveal the truth behind his brother's unjust death, Shin secured decisive evidence supporting Lee Sang-hyun's claims and succeeded in clearing his injustice.

Just when everyone expected the natural sequence of the kidnapped mayor being released and kidnapper Lee Sang-hyun being questioned by police, Shin secretly showed Lee Sang-hyun a message telling him to leave through the back door, suggesting an escape and even helping him depart safely overseas, surprising viewers. That was because Shin did not want another victim, Lee Sang-hyun, to pay the price. Shin's decision to see through the whole case and understand the kidnapper's circumstances led to an ending where no one was sacrificed, highlighting the negotiation hero's unique charm.

# not a negotiator but running for city council? - episode 6

Shin's unpredictable negotiation tactics continued as he even ran for city council for the sake of true negotiation. After learning the true nature of Choi Yong-min (played by Byung-hun), who tormented Jo Philip (played by Bae Hyun-seong) and Lee Si-on (played by Lee Re) and even committed school violence, and Choi Woong-sik (played by Park Won-sang), who had tolerated his crimes, Shin confronted them head-on. He ran directly as a city council candidate to oppose Choi Woong-sik, who was seeking a fourth term. In particular, Shin drew attention with an unusual strategy that went beyond ordinary campaign activities such as street campaigning and producing flyers for distribution: he shared Choi Woong-sik's wrongdoing with other candidates to drive consolidation.

Afterward, when Choi Woong-sik approached seeking his supporter base, Shin seized the initiative in the negotiations by boldly demanding direct apologies from Choi Woong-sik to Jo Philip, Lee Si-on and the victims of Choi Yong-min's school violence. Furthermore, after Choi Woong-sik fulfilled those demands, Shin dramatically withdrew his city council candidacy, instead empowering Choi Woong-sik's political rival and completing a satisfying reprisal.

# dark hero? (X) protector against jeonse fraud ring! (O) – episode 7

Shin displayed bold actions befitting the moniker "dark hero." After encountering the case of Oh Mi-suk (played by Jeong Ae-yeon) and her lover Lee Min-chul (played by Yang Jong-wook), who committed jeonse fraud by using the name of the son she had abandoned at an orphanage, Shin kidnapped and confined the two with the help of club Secret owner Madam Joo Ma-dam (played by Woo Mi-hwa) and her employee Manager Bae (played by Bae Yoon-kyu), showing a daring choice. Shin heightened tension by administering a suspicious IV to the two and, in front of Oh Mi-suk, giving her lover Lee Min-chul an unidentified drug.

Terrified, Oh Mi-suk begged to be spared and promised to return money to the victims of the jeonse fraud, allowing the victims to recover their funds. Later, when police found Oh Mi-suk and Lee Min-chul, they strongly claimed they had been subjected to savage threats by Shin, but the IV proved to be a glucose infusion and the drug turned out to be a combination of effervescent vitamins and a sleeping pill, delivering a pleasant twist.

In this way, "Shin's Project" completes thrilling outcomes each time with Shin Sajang's unpredictable negotiation skills, making viewers look forward to Monday and Tuesday evenings every week.

Han Seok-kyu's increasingly unpredictable negotiation skills continue in episode 9 of tvN "Shin's Project," which will air Monday the 20th at 8:50 p.m.<
