actor kim byung-chul displayed a different technique of acting in "Cashero."
Kim Byung-chul showed realistic, close-to-life acting as Byeon-hoin, a superpowered lawyer, in the Netflix series "Cashero," which was released on the 26th. "Cashero" is a living-cost-centered hero story about Sang-woong (Lee Jun-ho), a salaried worker struggling with marriage money and housing prices, who gains the ability to grow stronger in proportion to the amount of money he holds, and wavers between living expenses and superpowers.
In the drama, Byeon-hoin is the head of the Korea Association of Superpowered People and, together with Bang Eun-mi (Kim Hyang-gi), plays a central role in bringing superpowered people into the light and confronting the Crime Association that threatens the world. True to the character of a superpowered person whose ability activates when drinking, he made a strong impression from his first appearance in a drunken state. He was the first to see through Kang Sang-woong's ability, and to end the persistent fight with the Crime Association he persuades Sang-woong to team up with him to fight the villains. This portrayal of Byeon-hoin added tension and interest throughout the drama and drew viewers into the story.
Kim Byung-chul fully absorbed the character of Byeon-hoin and completed a new face of a superpowered hero. His natural drunken acting, which preserved the setting that abilities manifest only after drinking, delivered both humor and realism while distinctly revealing the character's personality. Also, he stably realized superpowers that pass through any obstacle and thrilling action, creating a genre pleasure that swings between comedy and tension.
In particular, his richly varied facial expressions according to the situation were undoubtedly the highlight and further amplified the character's charm. The acting tone that moves organically between seriousness and comedy naturally led the drama's atmosphere, and his enigmatic gaze that seemed to hold a backstory and his heavy mid-to-low voice precisely constructed the character's three-dimensionality, once again proving his exceptional acting skills.
In this way, Kim Byung-chul carved an unmistakable presence different from before by crafting an attractive character in a new genre based on skillful control of pacing.
Meanwhile, "Cashero," featuring Kim Byung-chul's vivid character performance, was released in full on the 26th and is available to watch on Netflix.
