Actor Ryu Hae-joon shocked viewers by confessing to participating as an accomplice.
On the 18th, the 9th episode of ENA's Monday-Tuesday drama 'Scarecrow' aired, in which Ryu Hae-joon delicately portrayed detective Park Dae-ho, who falters in the face of harsh reality.
In that episode, Dae-ho showed a changed mood by drawing a line with Kang Tae-Ju (Park Hae-soo) unlike usual. When Tae-Ju (Lee Ah-rin), who is pursuing the truth of Hye-jin's case, was being dissuaded, he blurted out his true feelings to the instruction to lead the search operation: "I refuse. To be honest, I hope nothing is found there," hinting at his strange unease.
Then the truth that Dae-ho had been hiding was revealed. Unable to withstand the pressure from Cha Si-young (Lee Heejun), Jang Myung-do (Jeon Jae-hong), and Do Hyung-gu (Kim Eun-woo), he joined in the crime of burying Hye-jin's body. The day before the search, overwhelmed by guilt, he took the body out, but when the body disappeared he could not hide his bewilderment. In the end, Tae-Ju discovered this entire process, pushing Dae-ho to the edge and heightening the drama's tension.
Ryu Hae-joon vividly conveyed the psyche of an "imperfect youth" collapsing from wrong choices. Crushed by guilt and suffering, he convincingly depicted the complex emotional line of a character who ultimately had to be cowardly, with trembling eyes and unsteady breathing.
In particular, Ryu Hae-joon went beyond a simple accomplice character and realistically captured the tragedy of youth who have lost their direction in the face of reality, leaving a strong aftertaste.
