'Shin Irang law office' Yoo Yeon-seok draws you into his signature comedy.
Yoo Yeon-seok sparked strong viewer response with his portrayal of Shin Irang, the spellbinding lawyer who thrillingly unravels the grudges (han) of the dead, in SBS's Friday-Saturday drama 'Shin Irang law office' (written by Kim Ga-young and Kang Cheol-gyu, directed by Shin Jung-hoon, produced by Studio S·Mongjakso), satisfying expectations 200% with his character work.
When possession begins, Yoo Yeon-seok suddenly becomes the 'rosy-cheeked' Irang, bringing fresh amusement. It showcased a side completely different—180 degrees—from the main character's restrained personality. Yoo Yeon-seok had previously vividly portrayed a gangster-turned-ghost with his playful dialect and tough actions. In the broadcast on the 20th, when IVE's 'Love Dive (LOVE DIVE)' played, he was possessed by a girl group trainee and completed everything from flashy dance moves to facial acting and the 'ending fairy' moment, making his possession performance irresistible.
The 'main character' Irang image Yoo Yeon-seok drew also served as another source of humor. When he discovered a client whose feet were floating in the air, he captured the shock of seeing a ghost realistically with an instant change of expression and reaction. Yoo Yeon-seok not only amusingly played the back-and-forth with the ghost visible only to him, but also freely moved between the eyes that change in an instant when possessed and the embarrassment felt after the possession ends, completing the comedic situations.
Such Yoo Yeon-seok's irreplaceable performance made viewers look forward to the next episode. Through the setting of 'possession,' he repeatedly transforms into completely different characters, breathing life into the sub-character with detailed acting that changes speech, expression and actions. Also, Irang's fearful and human side, the chemistry with the ghost and his realistic reactions created from that persona, hit viewers' funny bones. Attention is focused on the development of Irang's story that Yoo Yeon-seok will continue to unfold in 'Shin Irang law office.'
Meanwhile, the fourth episode of SBS's Friday-Saturday drama 'Shin Irang law office,' starring Yoo Yeon-seok, Esom and Kim Kyeong-nam, will air on the 21st at 9:50 p.m.
