Actor Kim Tae Woo created a new shaman character whose presence quite literally breathes life.
Kim Tae Woo played the shaman Jang Do-cheol in the SBS Friday-Saturday drama No Tail to Tell (written by Park Chan-young and Jo Ah-young, directed by Kim Jeong-kwon), which aired on the 6th and 7th.
In the drama, Jang Do-cheol shocked viewers by appearing surrounded by the vengeful spirits he had swallowed. Pale to the point of collapsing, Jang Do-cheol soon coughed up blood, amplifying the eeriness. Even after being rushed to the emergency room, he ignored the spirits' curses and revealed a maniacal obsession with hunting the gumiho.
Then Jang Do-cheol demonstrated his mysterious abilities as a shaman, and at the urging of Lee Yun (played by Choi Seung-yoon) he forcibly awakened the erased memories of Hyun Woo Seok (played by Jang Dong-joo). Jang Do-cheol's low yet powerful voice and eyes that seemed to see through someone overwhelmed the atmosphere.
In particular, Jang Do-cheol casually roamed Hyun Woo Seok's house as if it were his own, and exposing bizarre tattoos covering his whole body, he pressured others and displayed an untouchable charisma. His gaze, tone, and every action were enough to fully engage viewers.
In this way, Kim Tae Woo completes a distinctive shaman character with a chilling atmosphere and subtle facial changes, showing the essence of K-fantasy. Whenever the gumiho story comes up, his expression instantly shifts and he delivers a skin-crawling performance. Meanwhile, Jang Do-cheol discerned the decisive weakness that Eunho (Kim Hyeyoon) lost her supernatural powers and became an ordinary human, adding to curiosity about upcoming developments.
No Tail to Tell, in which Kim Tae Woo appears, airs every Friday and Saturday at 9:50 p.m.
