Actress Lee Joo-been heightened the drama's immersion with solid internal acting and an ending that aroused curiosity.
In the third episode of the tvN Monday-Tuesday drama Spring Fever, which aired on the 12th, Lee Joo-been, who plays Yoon Bom, captured viewers at once by showing a wide range of expressions, from a bold stance against injustice to a sudden change in attitude toward Seon Jae-gyu (Ahn Bo-hyun).
That day Lee Joo-been convincingly portrayed Yoon Bom's stern character who does not let unjust situations pass. She showed fearless moves, such as grabbing a stranger by the collar to find a missing student, and standing up for Jae-gyu, who was slapped despite saving a child. In the scene where she overcomes past trauma and finally obtains an apology, her determined gaze and voice that insisted on saying what needed to be said delivered a thrilling sense of catharsis to viewers.
Lee Joo-been's unique lively facial expressions also breathed life into the drama. She cheerfully brought to life a roller-coaster emotional line that swings between excitement and embarrassment at Jae-gyu's trivial words and actions. Especially when she mistakenly thought Jae-gyu was married, was shocked and then relieved, her varied facial changes maximized the character's lovable charm.
Above all, Yoon Bom's change in attitude shown at the end of the broadcast greatly piqued viewers' curiosity. Bom, who had drawn a line with Jae-gyu until now, was the first to ask him out on a date and grabbed attention by appearing in a radiant outfit. She then raised the excitement level by acting 180 degrees differently, such as making side dishes for him herself or tying his apron for him.
At the moment when Jae-gyu seemed to ask his feelings, saying, "Bom-ssi, are you...?," Lee Joo-been elevated anticipation for future developments by responding with a bright smile, saying "That's right," adding a subtle look to her loveliness.
Lee Joo-been is completing the character Yoon Bom in three dimensions with steady acting that moves between comedy, seriousness and romance. Attention is focused on why Bom's attitude suddenly changed and what her true feelings hidden behind Lee Joo-been's smile are.
Meanwhile, the tvN drama Spring Fever is a hot pink romance of spring days that will melt the frozen hearts of teacher Yoon Bom, who feels a cold wind, and Seon Jae-gyu, a man with a burning heart, and it airs every Monday and Tuesday at 8:50 p.m.
