Actor Ha Seok-jin raised the drama's immersion with overwhelming acting prowess.
Ha Seok-jin is bringing the narrative of King Yi Gyu to life perfectly in the KBS2 weekend miniseries drama 'To My Beloved Thief', elevating the drama's immersion to its peak.
In the drama, the character 'Yi Gyu' played by Ha Seok-jin is a person who hides a chilling madness behind a perpetually indifferent attitude. He wore the mask of a "virtuous king" during his crown prince years to hide the deficiency of being the son of the deposed queen Kim, but after ascending the throne he erupted with suppressed resentments and transformed into a tyrant.
From the crown prince who cunningly used his intelligence to the ruthless monarch who purged his ministers, Ha Seok-jin fluidly moves through the character's complex psychology, heightening the tension. Critics say he draws the character's narrative deeply based on the acting foundation he has built through long years of performance.
The agency said, "Ha Seok-jin's acting ability, honed through numerous works, is being expressed even more deeply through this character 'Yi Gyu'," and added, "Please confirm Ha Seok-jin's true worth as he perfectly digests the three-dimensional emotional lines hidden behind the tyrant's appearance."
Expectations are rising about what acting leap actor Ha Seok-jin, who has been showing performances that increase immersion every episode, will make following this work.
The KBS2 weekend miniseries 'To My Beloved Thief', in which Ha Seok-jin appears, airs every Saturday and Sunday at 9:20 p.m.
