Actor Oh Hyun-jung delivered a full dose of cheerful energy and emerged as a scene-stealer.
On the 4th, in the first broadcast of tvN Our Universe (written by Sujin and Shin Yi-hyun, directed by Lee Hyun-seok and Jung Yeo-jin, planned by Studio Dragon, produced by Scene & Studio Co., Ltd.), Oh Hyun-jung, who plays Kim Eui-jun, Taehyeong's (Bae In Hyuk) close friend and a baby specialist photographer, added to the fun of the drama as a character who once again caught the eye.
In episodes 1 and 2 of Our Universe, Ui-jun (Oh Hyun-jung) first appeared when he came to visit Seung-taek (Yoon-woo) and Taehyeong's house. Above all, when Taehyeong revealed how much he valued his personal space, Ui-jun drew laughter with his true-friend manner of pointing out his spending habits.
Meanwhile, Ui-jun's warm personality was also portrayed impressively. After the death of his older brother Woojin (HAJUN), when Taehyeong, who had been struggling, came to the photo studio with alcohol, Ui-jun, even though Taehyeong said nothing, asked if something was wrong and, when he tried to pretend he was okay, gently worried, "That's not it, right? You always bring soju whenever something's wrong." Ui-jun's sincere consideration in listening to Taehyeong's story and his kindness in sharing a drink brought a quiet warmth to the scene, and even in a short conversation the deep bond the two had built over a long time naturally emerged.
In this way, Oh Hyun-jung breathed life into the character with stable acting and a natural line tone. Especially from the close-friend chemistry he shows with Bae In Hyuk to his warm presence of quietly staying by someone in hard times, the Kim Eui-jun that Oh Hyun-jung portrayed asserted his presence in every scene where he appeared with cheerfulness and tenderness. As a result, attention is focused on Oh Hyun-jung's seasoning role in future developments, as he vividly brings out the character's nuances with outstanding character interpretation.
Meanwhile, the tvN Our Universe, in which Oh Hyun-jung appears, airs every Wednesday and Thursday at 10:40 p.m.
