Actor Kang Hye-won showcased emotionally mature acting through the Japanese TV TOKYO drama "Gimbap and Onigiri".
In the drama "Gimbap and Onigiri," a pure love story in which the genuine feelings of two people who are confused by cultural and value differences between Japan and Korea but are drawn to each other deeply resonate, Kang Hye-won played Park Rin, a graduate student who came to Japan to study abroad.
She conveyed the character's emotions plainly, portraying the hardships and fighting spirit of youth who pursue dreams even in a strange land, as well as the realistic loneliness, and steadily led the atmosphere of the drama.
In particular, Kang Hye-won naturally expressed not only the character's positive vibe but also the pure passion and lovable mood inherent in the person from first appearance to the end, allowing viewers to follow Park Rin's emotional arc and empathize with the work.
Here, she showed a small, everyday form of love with Hase Taiga (played by Eiji Akaso), a part-time worker at a Japanese restaurant whose dream of becoming a runner was dashed, and after they parted when he left to find his dream, the story ended calmly, leaving a lingering warmth through their warm communication. In this process, there were responses that Kang Hye-won's subtle acting shone, and her Japanese-language performance increased the character's synchronicity, arousing curiosity among fans in Japan and across Asia.
Kang Hye-won said she was very thankful that she was able to work with such great staff, directors, producers and fellow actors on her first challenge in a Japanese drama, calling it a good memory and experience, and she also thanked the viewers who have watched so far.
Having grown as an actor through dramas such as "Good-natured competition," "Player 2: The war of swindlers," "Boyhood," and "Youth blossom," Kang Hye-won displayed her character presence and lovely charm in this work as well, raising expectations for her future acting.<
