In Netflix's Screwballs, Joo Woo-jae unexpectedly unleashes a sense of "chivalry."
Netflix variety show Screwballs is a program that captures the joys and sorrows of life assembled without screws by the top 99% of talents and is released every Sunday at 5 p.m. The younger-brother line, made up of Jin Kyung and Sook, two older sisters and Se-ho, Woo-jae, and Woo-young, delivers a somewhat goofy character variety show whose strong and colorful chemistry has offered a weekly feast of laughter, games·makeup·punishments·travel·mukbang·talk and sometimes even emotion, forming a solid fan base. Season 1 "Screwballs: in search of the lost screw," season 2 "in search of the lost steering wheel," and "season 3 Screwball disbandment show," followed by "Screwballs season 4: the rival" are also receiving warm love.
In episode 6, released today (29th), Screwballs' Kim Sook, Hong Jin Kyung, Cho Sae-ho, Joo Woo-jae, Woo-young and Single's Inferno 5's Choi Mina-soo, Kim Go-eun, Song Seung-il, and the "special (gwa)megi woman" Kim Ji-yoo compete in a final 3:3:3 team showdown. Among them, attention is focused on Joo Woo-jae as he is said to draw the members' ire due to the guests from Single's Inferno 5 overprotecting him.
So far Joo Woo-jae has been an indiscriminate attacker who relentlessly exercises offensive rights against Screwballs members regardless of whether they are older sisters or brothers. But when he faces Kim Go-eun from Single's Inferno 5 that day, before the Screwballs members he displays a chivalrous spirit he had kept tightly hidden, surprising everyone. In the "Cham Cham Cham" game, where the loser must splash water on the opposing team depending on the outcome, the self-proclaimed brain who once dominated the rules is nowhere to be seen; pretending not to have learned the game rules, he throws away his offensive right and makes a nonchalant face saying "Am I the one who has to do it?" shocking the members. When Joo Woo-jae hesitates and even sits with a cup of water on his back, Woo-young, seeing a side of Joo Woo-jae full of personal feelings for the first time, exclaims, "Wow, I've never seen Woo-jae hyung do this," unable to hold back.
The one who rose up against this Joo Woo-jae was Hong Jin Kyung. Having been helplessly tormented by her archnemesis Joo Woo-jae's attacks, Hong Jin Kyung erupts in gradient anger, saying, "Hey, don't you understand the game rules?" which provokes loud laughter. Unable to tolerate it any longer, Hong Jin Kyung confidently declared she would substitute in. But there is intense interest in whether Hong Jin Kyung, who has hippocampal damage, properly learned the game rules. Contrary to her confident expression, Hong Jin Kyung turned the place upside down with plays that completely destroyed the rules and then suddenly announced "I'll admit this time," declaring her own withdrawal and turning the scene into a sea of laughter, according to reports.
Whether Joo Woo-jae's "method actor who doesn't know the game" act that shocked the Screwballs members will be like remains a vertical-rise curiosity.
