Actress Kim Shin-rok has perfectly wrapped up "Undercover High School."
On the 29th, the MBC Friday-Saturday drama "Undercover High School" concluded amid enthusiastic support from viewers. As the story progressed to its conclusion, Kim Shin-rok's villain moment created a heart-pounding thrill.
Kim Shin-rok transformed into Seo Myung-joo, the president of the prestigious Byeongmun Foundation and Byeongmun High School, delivering an impressive, flawless performance this spring. His impeccable acting brought intense excitement to each episode and reaffirmed the title of "a trusted actor" associated with his name.
The acting showcase Kim Shin-rok presented in episodes 11 and 12 of "Undercover High School" was nothing short of astonishing. It dramatically portrayed the end of the character Seo Myung-joo, who had committed heinous deeds until now.
Seo Myung-joo's (Kim Shin-rok) obsession with gold bullion ignited a madness that left everyone breathless. For him, the lost gold bullion of Emperor Gojong was an essential tool to fulfill his lifelong dream of building an education city. Thus, Seo Myung-joo became desperate in his pursuit of the bullion by any means necessary. However, the bullion he so eagerly sought was nowhere to be found. Instead of accepting the truth before him, he opted for a final big match against Jeong Hae-sung (Seo Kang-jun), further intensifying the atmosphere.
Subsequently, driven by his misguided obsession, Seo Myung-joo not only cornered Jeong Hae-sung but also committed heinous acts, including the murder of Kim Hyung-bae (Lee Seo-hwan), amplifying the chilling tension.
In the end, the scene where all of Seo Myung-joo's sins were revealed to the world heightened immersion significantly. The conclusion he faced, which upheld the principle of good triumphing over evil, left a strong impact on the viewers while leading the narrative to its climax.
Kim Shin-rok perfectly embodied the character Seo Myung-joo, who had an overwhelming presence, delivering a performance that left audiences in awe. In particular, through various details such as the anxiety expressed through his screams, chilling gazes, and increasingly contorted facial expressions, he showcased a character transforming into a monster consumed by desire, completing a "gradient madness." As such, Kim Shin-rok emerged as a driving force that maintained the core of "Undercover High School," demonstrating a powerful presence during the beginning and end of the catastrophe.
Meanwhile, Kim Shin-rok drew attention by sharing his thoughts on the conclusion of "Undercover High School." He began by saying, "Finally, Myung-joo's malevolence has come to an end," and noted, "There were many moments of acting extreme emotions, but I still loved the character Myung-joo," revealing his deep affection for the character.
Kim Shin-rok expressed his gratitude, saying, "Thank you so much to all the viewers who watched with interest until the end," as he bid farewell to "Undercover High School."
Kim Shin-rok, who was highlighted as the recipient of unanimous acclaim for this work, is set to make a new transformation in the ENA series "Your Taste," scheduled to air this year.
