The world was captivated by actress Kim Yoo-jung's new look.
In episode 8 of "Dear X," the TVING original released on the 20th (written by Choi Ja-won · Ban Ji-woon, directed by Lee Eung-bok · Park So-hyun, planned by Studio Dragon, produced by Monster Union · Siwoo Company, provided by TVING, original webtoon "Dear X" [author Ban Ji-woon]), Kim Yoo-jung's explosive performance has been the talk of the town every day.
Kim Yoo-jung, who played Baek A-jin, expressed contempt with intense eye acting at Hwang Ji-seon's (Kim Yu-mi) insincere apology, continuing a tense power struggle. She burst into a sardonic laugh, then threw items on the desk and stamped her feet in uncontrollable anger, perfectly conveying Baek A-jin's rapid descent into rage with explosive energy.
From the calmness when she says "You shouldn't take hope lightly in hell" to the pitiful sight of tears streaming down her wounded face, Kim Yoo-jung delicately portrayed Baek A-jin's collapsing inner world.
The scene has drawn passionate reactions from viewers around the world since it was released last week. Praise for Kim Yoo-jung's overwhelming performance continues, with comments such as "Kim Yoo-jung's acting is insane," "She seems to have found a new signature role," "Her crying-while-smiling acting seems possessed," and "Of course the acting standard for people in their 20s is Kim Yoo-jung."
Meanwhile, episodes 9 and 10 of "Dear X" will be released on TVING at 6 p.m. on the 27th.
