Actor Hwang In-yeop showcased an unparalleled visual and presence.
After its first release on the 6th, the shocking story and rapid development of the TVING original "Dear X" (directed by Lee Eung-bok and Park So-hyun, written by Choi Ja-won and Ban Ji-woon) tell the story of a woman wearing a mask, Baek Ah-jin (Kim Yoo-jung), and the Xs who were brutally trampled by her.
In episodes 5 and 6 released on the 13th, Hwang In-yeop played the role of idol-turned-top actor "Heo In-gang," revealing an unparalleled visual and intense presence. At the red carpet event where Heo In-gang appeared with Baek Ah-jin, he exuded overwhelming charm in a tuxedo that highlighted his superior proportions, and at the agency's founding anniversary in the drama he perfectly pulled off an all-black setup, further amplifying his distinctive chic side.
Hwang In-yeop's complete embodiment of Heo In-gang was not limited to visuals. The shadowed inner side contrasting with the top star's glamorous exterior was expressed through hollow and lonely facial acting, and in his relationship with Baek Ah-jin he added credibility to the character by properly portraying the subtle emotional line of raising walls and gradually opening his heart.
Moreover, since fan expectations had been greatly raised by the high synchronization with the webtoon original character from the casting stage, he met those expectations and increased both viewers' immersion and satisfaction.
Through "Dear X," Hwang In-yeop presented a distinctive aura that creates a special impact and draws attention merely by appearing, fully becoming the Heo In-gang character and captivating viewers.
Meanwhile, TVING original "Dear X" episodes 7 and 8 will be released at 6 p.m. on the 20th.
