Actor Yoonwoo captured attention from the first broadcast of "Our Universe".
Yoonwoo appeared as Seungtaek in tvN's Wednesday-Thursday drama "Our Universe," which premiered on the 4th, blending naturally into the series with restrained pacing and detailed everyday acting, once again proving his strength as an "actor you watch again."
"Our Universe" is a work that depicts the chaotic cohabitation romance that unfolds when a tangled couple by marriage suddenly has to raise a 20-month-old niece or nephew named "Uju" from their first meeting. Seungtaek, played by Yoonwoo, is a character who softens the atmosphere on set and breathes life into the story. From the first episode, his acting precisely captured the character's texture and firmly held the flow of the drama. Even the breathing at the end of lines and the way he uses his gaze were impressively natural.
In particular, Seungtaek was realized as a "everyday-type character" who accepts situations without exaggeration. Yoonwoo's distinctive acting, which seems to modulate the rhythm of the work, heightened the density of the scenes. Even in small lines and movements, he performed in a way that made the character apparent first, steadily guiding the tone of "Our Universe."
His fresh appearance was also a topic of conversation. The realistic styling added to his clean impression convincingly completed Seungtaek's character. A face that does not stand out but leaves an afterimage, a presence that lingers in memory after a scene passes, naturally drew viewers' attention.
Earlier, through "Modular Family," "Brewing Love," the Netflix series "Hierarchy," and the film "Jeon, Ran," Yoonwoo drew reactions of "Is this actor that actor?" with performances that crossed genres and tones. Seungtaek in "Our Universe" is also an extension of that. His unadorned approach of convincing a character through acting alone shines once again.
Quiet but solid pacing, acting that permeates the drama. How this subtle aftereffect left from the first broadcast will expand in future developments draws anticipation.
Meanwhile, the second episode of tvN's Wednesday-Thursday drama "Our Universe" will air on the 5th at 10:40 p.m.
