Actor Jung Haein showed a new face of the romance master.
Jung Haein in the Netflix series 'Our Sticky Love,' released on the 7th, proved an even more expanded acting spectrum by playing Jang Taeha, the '순애보의 끝판왕' who would not hesitate to give his life to protect the person he loves.
Through Something in the Rain, Spring Night, and Love Next Door, Jung Haein, who drew attention as a 'romance master' with his unique delicate emotional acting, had previously hinted at a wide-ranging acting transformation that crosses genres such as comedy, action and noir as well as sweet romance through Our Sticky Love.
Living up to expectations, Jung Haein showed even deeper romance acting. Jang Taeha, who has no dating experience but displays extreme devotion to the point of giving his life to protect his first love Go Eun-sae, is a character close to fantasy in some ways, but Jung Haein brought Jang Taeha to life by conveying the thrill of a man in love and the tenderness toward his partner through his eyes, expressions and speech.
He also made his presence felt in scenes confronting the boss of the entire organization, Baek Sang-gil (Heo Sung-tae). In a mood that instantly shifted to noir, Jung Haein delicately expressed Jang Taeha's wavering emotions and sharp tension, firmly anchoring the center of the drama. As if changing facial expressions, he revealed his guard and anger toward his opponent while capturing Jang Taeha's complex feelings when facing Baek Sang-gil in his gaze, rendering the character's inner life three-dimensionally.
The chemistry with the people of Yeot Village — grandmother Go Yeon-hong (Kim Young-ok), Hong Do-yeop (Jeon Bae-soo) and Do Jeong-hwa (Seo Jeong-yeon), right-hand man Kim Gang-rok (Jeong Soon-won), Yeot Village SES Paeng Hee-ja (Jang Hye-Jin), Jo Maeng-sook (Cha Cheong-hwa), Na Geum-hyang (Kim Mi-hwa) and others — was also an indispensable pleasure.
Through Our Sticky Love, Jung Haein once again proved his wide acting spectrum by freely moving among romance, comedy, action, noir and human drama. He once again proved himself to be an actor you can trust.
