Actor Mu Jin-seong returned perfectly as a "genius hacker" who erased the villain's face and has both ability and visual appeal.
Mu Jin-seong made his first appearance as Ki Young-do, a member of the sales team 3 at Durumi Electronics, in episodes 1 and 2 of MBC's new Friday-Saturday drama A Bona fide Killer, which premiered at 9:50 p.m. on the 31st of last month, leaving an impression on viewers.
A Bona fide Killer, based on the popular webtoon of the same name, is a work that depicts the struggles of a working mom with the world's most brutal job as she fights to protect her work-life balance. In the drama, Ki Young-do, played by Mu Jin-seong, is a genius hacker who solves everything with a single computer and is a key figure responsible for on-site backup.
In that night's broadcast, Ki Young-do stood firmly behind Yu Bo-na (Kong Hyojin) as she attended her first client meeting after returning to work and led a perfect operation. The duo's natural back-and-forth and chemistry added vitality to the drama and were praised for capturing both tension and fun at the same time.
Ki Young-do is cynical and cold to others but shows a seemingly indifferent yet affectionate side only in front of Yu Bo-na. His smile when looking at the returned Yu Bo-na and lines such as "I couldn't sleep after hearing that nuna was coming" were enough to raise viewers' excitement. Mu Jin-seong's characteristic contrast between coldness and warmth created a subtle current between the two and heightened curiosity about future developments.
Mu Jin-seong, who previously played the atrocious villain Pyo Hyun-joon in tvN's Typhoon Family and showcased chilling acting skills, succeeded in completely erasing the shadow of his previous work with this role. He added a warm charm to his cool charisma, creating a multidimensional presence.
Mu Jin-seong, who has freely crossed the boundary between good and evil in various genres such as the dramas Can We Be Strangers, The Tyrant, Typhoon Family, and Boyfriend on Demand, is expected to draw attention for what kind of performance he will continue to deliver in A Bona fide Killer.<
