Actor Lim Soojung is captivating weekend night viewers at home with a performance that brings out the charm of the genre.
Lim Soojung plays Kim Sean, the wife of Ki Soo-jong (Ha Jung-woo), a character with a twist, in tvN's Saturday-Sunday drama "How to become a building owner in Korea," and she is active as a key player who shakes up the order amid the whirlwind developments, delivering a new face of dopamine each episode.
In episodes 5 and 6 broadcast on the 28th and 29th, Kim Sean's full-fledged cooperation with her husband Ki Soo-jong to contain unintended incidents and accidents and protect the family unfolded. Kim Sean steadied the shaken Ki Soo-jong by attempting to negotiate with Oh Dong-gi (Hyun Bong-sik), who knows the details of the kidnapping, and she even carried out a scheme to pin the mastermind behind Jeon Yi-kyung's (Jung Soojung) kidnapping on Oh Dong-gi, revealing a bold side.
In particular, Kim Sean's double behavior of feeling sorry to Jeon Yi-kyung for her affair with Min Hwal-seong (Kim Jun Han) while thoroughly hiding it amplified the tension. Behind her composed exterior, Kim Sean revealed a surprising dark side that would not hesitate to commit wrongdoing to manage the situation, and she continued the urgent cooperative play by actively helping Ki Soo-jong, driving the gripping immersion of the drama.
Lim Soojung is demonstrating the true worth of a "genre queen" who leads supreme suspense and can handle any genre. She not only delicately captured the unique tonal blend that shifts between black comedy and thriller, but also, through meticulous emotional lines, depicted the process of transforming from an ordinary housewife into a character who colludes with her husband Ki Soo-jong in crime, proving her detailed expressiveness.
Lim Soojung's quiet charisma, calm but strong, also overwhelms the atmosphere of the drama. With restrained, unexaggerated expressiveness she naturally permeated each scene and convincingly built the character's inner life, and with subtle variations in her eyes and tone she delicately revealed the flow of emotion. In this way, Lim Soojung's deeply rooted acting further enriches the character's three-dimensionality, and attention is heightened to how Lim Soojung will portray Kim Sean, who stands at the center of the events, going forward.
