Actor Min Jin-woong showcased his role-transforming qualities and heightened the drama's immersion.
On the weekend drama Love On The Menu aired on KBS 2TV on the 5th, Park Jung-woo (Min Jin-woong) is shown wracked with worry over his friend Kim Moo-jin (Ha Seok-jin). Earlier, Park Jung-woo was flustered when Han Gyu-rim (Ahn Heeyeon) came to the restaurant.
Afterward, Park Jung-woo asked Han Gyu-rim not to come to the restaurant. However, he was embarrassed by Han Gyu-rim's changed attitude, and after meeting her sincere gaze he could not bring himself to push her away forcefully and sent her off.
Then, as Park Jung-woo tried in his own way to comfort a startled Kim Moo-jin, he revealed a bittersweet feeling at his friend deflecting the conversation. Especially in the scene where he and Jang Seo-hyun (Lee Joo-yeon) corner Kim Moo-jin and shout at him to go to Han Gyu-rim, Park Jung-woo's distressed concern for his friend came through plainly.
Meanwhile, Park Jung-woo was stunned after hearing an unexpected story from Jang Seo-hyun. He learned that Jang Hoon-tae (Kwon Hae-hyo) is Kim Moo-jin's biological father. Park Jung-woo expressed strong disbelief as if he could not accept it to the end, raising curiosity about the story that will unfold.
In this way, Min Jin-woong broadly portrayed Park Jung-woo's varied facets, from a solid figure worried about his friend to someone who at times offers cold, realistic advice. By flexibly expressing emotions that change moment to moment depending on the situation, he added dimensionality to the character and further deepened the drama's immersion.
Above all, Min Jin-woong's uniquely vivid acting breathed life into the character Park Jung-woo and added to the viewing pleasure. As he showed indispensable presence by appearing at the right place in many parts of the drama, attention is focused on what roles Min Jin-woong will continue to play in Love On The Menu.
