Actor Kang Hyung-seok demonstrated a wide acting spectrum in the drama "Second Shot at Love."
Kang Hyung-seok engaged in a sincere romantic pursuit with Han Hyun-joo (played by Jo Yoon-hee) in episodes 3 and 4 of tvN's Monday-Tuesday drama "Second Shot at Love" (written by Myung Soo-hyun, Jeon Ji-hyun, directed by Jang Yu-jeong), which aired on the 19th and 20th.
In this episode, Kang Hyung-seok boasted a charming visual perfectly integrated as a taekwondo instructor. His biological sister Bong Sun-hwa (played by Kim Bo-jeong) praised him as "the pride of Bocheon" after seeing him engage in intense training as Bong Seon-wook (played by Kang Hyung-seok). The scene where he showcased his taekwondo skills in a uniform immediately captivated viewers.
Along with this, Seon-wook intensified his direct flirting towards Hyun-joo. To help Hyun-joo with her alcohol abstinence, he became her taekwondo instructor, personally escorting her home after class and providing a sweet thrill. Unlike Hyun-joo, who was always filled with thoughts of alcohol, Seon-wook's pure love injected warmth into the plot.
In particular, the scene where he scoured second-hand trading apps for performance tickets and sprinted to secure them confirmed Seon-wook's feelings towards Hyun-joo. Seon-wook engaged in a comment battle with his brother-in-law Lee Young-woong (played by Park Kang-seob) on a post about ticket transfers on a first-come, first-served basis, and his frantic run to secure tickets presented both laughter and touching moments.
Having finally secured the performance tickets, Seon-wook was overjoyed. However, he soon heightened the drama's intrigue by being caught by Young-woong about his unrequited love for Hyun-joo. Ignoring Young-woong's advice to settle things before Sun-hwa found out, Seon-wook reactivated his instinct to pursue. However, just as he was about to suggest a performance date, he decided to take a step back from Hyun-joo, who was still tormented by guilt about her divorce, evoking sympathy from viewers.
In this way, Kang Hyung-seok elevated the charm of his character as a passionate suitor for unrequited love. From his innocent yet serious demeanor towards one person to his desperate struggle to secure love, he delivered delightful moments in the drama. Kang Hyung-seok meticulously expressed the character's facets with a wide acting range, heightening the immersion in the story and raising anticipation for his future performances.
