Actor Kim Ji-hyun is showing a performance that encompasses both everyday acting and intense action.
Kim Ji-hyun raised both the tension and the fun of the story in episodes 5 and 6 of the Coupang Play X Genie TV original series 'UDT: our neighborhood special forces,' which were released on the 1st and 2nd.
The character Jung Nam-yeon, played by Kim Ji-hyun, is the owner of Mammosmart and the practical and resilient "Min-seo's mother," combining realistic domestic acting, subtle comedy, and a determined charisma. In episodes 5 and 6, the character's hidden past and the instinctive judgment that bursts out accordingly add new charm to the character, which is revealed in earnest.
Jung Nam-yeon overwhelmed everyone with her keen eye that could immediately identify someone as a soldier just from the shape of footprints found at the scene. At the same time, she showed deep humanity by personally visiting the former tutor's home of her deceased daughter to straighten side dishes and prepare a warm meal. Additionally, the character's twist charm was maximized and delivered a thrilling reversal when the hidden past of having been an instructor for Unit 707 was revealed.
Meanwhile, Jung Nam-yeon displayed a girl-crush charm as she confronted an assailant hired by someone with the toughness of a former instructor even in the crisis. She then teamed up with Park Jeong-hwan (played by Lee Jeong-ha), Lee Yong-hee (played by Go Gyu-pil), Kwak Byung-nam (played by Jin Sun-kyu), and Choi Kang (played by Yoon Kye-sang) to cooperate under the Ministry of National Defense Vice Minister and pursued the reality of the case. Later, in the scene where she directly fought mercenaries to find the location tracker, she delivered a thrilling exhilaration.
Kim Ji-hyun finally noticed the mastermind behind the series of explosions and established herself as a key figure leading the overall flow of the case. She organically consolidated a resilient, realistic mother, hidden military instincts, warm humanity and intense action, proving a powerful presence at the center of the story. Her girl-crush charm and steady judgment elevated the drama's immersion, and she demonstrated her acting depth by portraying a character that also possesses a warm glow.
Meanwhile, 'UDT: our neighborhood special forces' is released every Monday and Tuesday at 10 p.m. on Coupang Play and Genie TV, and is also available on ENA channel.<
