Actor Lee Sang-woon delivered extreme immersion by revealing a chilling nature hidden behind a serene smile.
On the 12th episode of SBS's Friday-Saturday drama 'Shin I-rang Law Office,' which aired on the 18th, the true face of Police Inspector Jo Chi-young (played by Lee Sang-woon), whom viewers had thought was a reliable ally of the protagonists, was revealed, delivering a huge shock to viewers. Especially in the latter part of the episode, his unwavering aim of the gun at Shin I-rang (Yoo Yeon-seok) completed an unprecedented twist ending.
The episode began in earnest when the spirit of a boy wearing yellow rain boots, Yoon Si-ho, possessed Shin I-rang's body. The golf ball bearing the GSG mark that Si-ho left behind became a key clue in the investigation, and while Shin I-rang was tracking the child's movements, he coincidentally met Jo Chi-young at a pizza shop and together went to the golf course to search for a body. What they found there was the horrific scene of another innocent child being confined, and it was exposed that the real culprit behind this brutal crime was none other than Jo Chi-young, filling living rooms with shock.
Lee Sang-woon perfectly sculpted the character's extreme duality. He cast off the mask of a passionate detective leading the search for the missing child, and when his identity was exposed, the moment he coldly aimed his gun and said, "How did you find out," produced heavy suspense. The sudden erasure of his benign expression and the eerie, manic gaze he unleashed detonated the drama's tension.
Especially through a calm delivery and restrained emotional acting, Lee Sang-woon precisely captured the瞬間爆發的狂氣 and, completing the "evil among evils," proved his powerful acting ability.
Having fully absorbed the role of Jo Chi-young and demonstrating an unlimited acting spectrum that freely navigates between good and evil, attention is focused on what unpredictable moves Lee Sang-woon will make to shake living rooms in the upcoming episode 13.
Meanwhile, the SBS Friday-Saturday drama 'Shin I-rang Law Office,' riding a ratings upswing thanks to Lee Sang-woon's chilling twist performance, airs every Friday and Saturday at 9:50 p.m.
