Actor Joo Sang-Wook's sociopathic nature exploded in Manager Kim.
Actor Joo Sang-Wook fully unleashed the cruel madness he had hidden behind his gentle face, perfectly breaking the limits of transformation.
Joo Sang-Wook, in episodes 3 and 4 of the SBS Friday-Saturday drama Manager Kim (written by Nam Dae-joong, directed by Lee Seung-young, Lee So-eun), which aired on the 3rd and 4th, played construction company chairman Joo Kang-chan, a former hired thug, raising tension with an overwhelming presence.
Through Manager Kim, Joo Sang-Wook is playing his first villain role since his debut. By the fourth broadcast, based on Nielsen Korea, the metropolitan area average was 22.7%, the national average was 21.6%, and the peak instantaneous rating was 25.1%, and amid Manager Kim's explosive all-time high ratings, Joo Sang-Wook's performance dazzled.
In the drama, when his daughter Joo Hye-ri (played by Yoo Ji-an) showed strange undercurrents after a school incident, Joo Kang-chan immediately sensed it and showed persistence by ordering a thorough investigation into Manager Kim (played by So Jisub). In particular, he delivered a chilling performance in the redevelopment negotiation scene with assemblyman Shim (played by Kim Kyung-ryong).
He said with a cold smile, "If there is something money can't do, it's because there isn't enough money. If it still can't be done, just tell me who is impossible to persuade."
Also, Joo Kang-chan revealed his cruel nature by ruthlessly pulling out all the teeth of Geum-ibbal (played by Jo Bokrae), with whom he had a bitter connection during his days as a hired thug. In the flashback scene, the line "Do you know how I tamed a fierce dog? I made sure it would never bite its owner" more vividly imprinted Joo Kang-chan's ruthless and merciless side that even made Geum-ibbal prostrate and kneel, freezing viewers. Rather than exploding with emotion, Joo Sang-Wook's action acting, which maximized horror with a calm tone and an expressionless face, amplified the weight of the villain.
Facing the most intense turning point of his acting life with his first villain role, Joo Sang-Wook, who outwardly wears the mask of a chaebol chairman while inwardly emitting uncontrollable madness, draws attention to what more deadly true colors he will reveal in a full frontal confrontation with Manager Kim.
