"Spring Fever" Cho Junyoung perfectly staged a scene from a youth comic.
Cho Junyoung is giving a passionate performance as Shin Sungwoo High School's unchallenged No. 1 student Seon Han-gyeol in tvN's Monday-Tuesday drama "Spring Fever" (directed by Park Won-guk, written by Kim A-jung), building the character's narrative solidly with dense acting in every scene and showing a notable performance.
In the broadcast of episode 5, Seon Han-gyeol, who took part in the relay, hinted at a comeback victory as he received cheers from surrounding students with his fresh visuals and excellent running skills, but at the last moment he intentionally dropped the baton and, in a surprising choice to help the opposing team's Choi Se-jin (played by Lee Jaein), brought a refreshing thrill to viewers at home.
Afterward, Seon Han-gyeol was scolded by his uncle Seon Jae-gyu (played by Ahn Bo-hyun) for ruining the victory, but he confessed his feelings, saying, "I don't know why, I just wanted to see that kid smile," and his unabashed straightforward charm left a clear impression on viewers' hearts.
Later, when Choi Se-jin, who lost at the sports day despite Seon Han-gyeol's efforts, looked downcast, Seon Han-gyeol handed her a cake along with his medal and comforted her in his characteristically blunt way; noticing Seon Han-gyeol's feelings, Choi Se-jin asked, "Do you like me?", foreshadowing a change in their relationship filled with subtle excitement and tension.
In this process, Cho Junyoung handled a wide range of expressions, from the trembling moment when Seon Han-gyeol realizes first love to the honest expression of his feelings, through flexible tone control and delicate eye acting, earning positive responses for his immersive performance.
