Kim Yoo-jung proved she is an irreplaceable representative actor of Korea by continuing to rank No. 1 in topicality with limitless acting ability.
In the TVING original "Dear X," Kim Yoo-jung has been delivering passionate performances, refining her scene interpretation and expressiveness with each episode. In episodes 7 and 8 released on the 20th, she again elicited viewers' over-immersion with solid acting that maintained the flow of emotion without wavering.
Especially in episode 7, Kim Yoo-jung completed an overwhelming scene that brought Rena down by portraying Baek A-jin's cool attitude toward Rena (Lee Yul-eum) with a composed expression, a relaxed smile and a languid tone. In the following episode 8, even as surrounding circumstances began to change after the death of Heo In-gang (Hwang In-yeop) Jo-mo, she coldly controlled the flow and made Baek A-jin's desires even clearer. She once again proved her limitless acting ability by building the character's inner side three-dimensionally through tempo control that oscillated between emotional explosion and restraint.
In this way, Kim Yoo-jung is driving the narrative of the Baek A-jin character firmly and leading the completeness of the drama. Her agency Awesome ENT said, "Kim Yoo-jung poured effort into expressing the character's charm 200% based on the concentration that leads the flow of scenes and the precise use of emotion," and added, "We ask for continued support for Kim Yoo-jung, who is showcasing her accumulated acting prowess without reserve."
Kim Yoo-jung, who is leading "Dear X," has stood at the center of attention domestically and abroad since its first release on the 6th. She made her power felt when she ranked No. 1 in TV-OTT integrated drama cast topicality in the weekly topicality Fundex survey by Good Data Corporation released on the 18th.
According to HBO Max, it is considered one of the titles that achieved the highest performance among Asian works in 17 Asia-Pacific countries and regions including Southeast Asia, Taiwan and Hong Kong. In its first week, it ranked in the top three for weekly viewing on Rakuten Viki in the Americas, Europe, Oceania and India, and it ranked No. 1 in 108 countries including the United States, Brazil, Mexico, the United Kingdom, France and India. It also rose to the top three in Disney+ Japan's daily ranking, and Kim Yoo-jung's performance has raised the work's overall global interest.
Dear X, starring Kim Yoo-jung, Kim Young-dae, Kim Do-hoon and Lee Yul-eum, is released two episodes at a time every Thursday at 6 p.m. on TVING.
