Netflix 'Screwballs' Wooyoung shows off original acting-idol class as Choi Nam-ra from All of Us Are Dead.
Netflix variety show 'Screwballs' is a program that captures the joys and sorrows of life assembled without screws by the top 99% talents and is released every Sunday at 5 p.m. The younger-sibling line composed of Jin Kyung and Sook, two older sisters, and Seho, Woo-jae, and Wooyoung has formed a solid fan base by delivering a somewhat ditzy character variety show that offers a feast of laughter each week along with games·makeup·penalties·travel·mukbang·talk and sometimes even emotion. Season 1 'Screwballs: searching for the lost screw', season 2 'searching for the lost steering wheel', 'season 3 Screwballs disbandment show' and 'Screwballs season 4: the rival' have continued the run, with the latter also landing as high as No. 5 on Netflix's today's top 10 in its first week.
Episode 3, released on the 8th, is the second rivalry match, 'Dora High School class 3-3 living as high school girls', where a chaotic rivalry unfolds to determine the strongest high school girl among Kim Sook, Hong Jin Kyung, Cho Sae-ho, Joo Woo-jae, and Wooyoung. Amid this, Wooyoung attracts attention by turning Screwballs upside down with a divinely inspired zombie performance.
From 'Na Ae-ri' Kim Sook to Joo Woo-jae's 'Rainbow Jin-sook' from the film 'Friend', the older siblings' elaborate disguises continue, and Wooyoung emits an unusually eerie aura from his entrance that draws attention. Transformed into Choi Nam-ra from All of Us Are Dead, Wooyoung briefly lulls everyone into complacency with a slow speech pattern, then suddenly twists his whole body as if possessed by a zombie and delivers acrobatic masterful acting that startles everyone. He even drags his body as if being pulled by someone and leaves the classroom, then instantly unleashes a ferocious, sudden real zombie performance that prompts Joo Woo-jae to exclaim, "I feel like I just watched a production," unable to hide his admiration.
At Wooyoung's mesmerizing performance, Kim Sook shows an unexpected reaction. As Wooyoung, burning with acting passion, lunges at Kim Soo-yong, the homeroom teacher of 'Dora High School' class 3-3 and attempts to bite him, Kim Sook is aghast, saying, "No, I can't save the teacher again~ It's really hard to save him." But Kim Soo-yong greets 'zombie Wooyoung' with a forgiving smile and soothes him, saying, "It's okay. I was a zombie too," which reportedly provokes laughter.
Meanwhile, a fierce game of one-upmanship among the members vying for the top high school girl spot at 'Dora High School' is promised, piquing curiosity. This game, which demands extreme agility, is 'succeeding in missions without the homeroom teacher noticing.' From the clandestine and daring 'grill and eat samgyeopsal during class' mission to the 'play hooky mission' that requires lifting an entire desk and running away, the 'hair washing mission', the 'wearing acupressure slippers and jump-roping mission', the 'costume change mission' and other astonishing missions that are hard to believe would take place in a classroom will unfold. Their opponents are the unpredictable, screw-loose(?) 'Dora High School' girls. Kim Soo-yong briefly attempts discipline but gets drawn into the brazen members' insistence on carrying out the missions. When even Kim Soo-yong ends up picking up and eating samgyeopsal, Hong Jin Kyung protests, "What kind of person are you?" provoking bursts of laughter, the report says.
There is growing anticipation over what Wooyoung's divinely inspired zombie acting that may have produced a new 'masterpiece' will be like, and who among the five incomparable darlings will truly claim the top high school girl spot.
'Screwballs season 4: the rival' is released every Sunday at 5 p.m. on Netflix.
