Due to low viewership ratings, actor Namgoong-min, who showed confidence that the true value of the work can be confirmed after the 5th episode, has once again embarked on breaking his personal best character.
The SBS weekend drama 'Our Movie' (written by Han Ga-eun and Kang Kyung-min, directed by Lee Jeong-heum), which premiered on the 13th, depicts a love story that cannot be postponed to tomorrow between a film director, Lee Jehwa, who has no next film, and an actress, Lee Da-eum, for whom today is the last.
Namgoong-min, who returned to SBS drama after three years, expressed deep affection for the work at the production presentation, saying, "It’s a traditional melodrama but full of a refined and modern feeling. I felt an attraction that is hard to explain specially," and added, "I tried to express it delicately and in detail. I think it will be a work that I won’t be ashamed of and will be proud of."
Living up to the title of "a reliable actor," Namgoong-min portrayed the emotions of his character delicately, offering a subtle impact. Although seemingly indifferent, he expressed emotions honestly without hiding them in difficult situations, perfectly transforming into Lee Jehwa, captivating the viewers with his gaze, expressions, and tone.
Previously, Namgoong-min heated up the home theater with his outstanding acting skills and delicate expressiveness in MBC's 'Lovers.' Not only did he evoke 'Lover's syndrome' with his heartfelt melodrama, but he also demonstrated that he is a 'guarantee of box-office success' by winning the grand prize at the '2023 MBC Acting Awards' and the Best Actor award in the television category at the '60th Baeksang Arts Awards.'
Additionally, through SBS's 'One Thousand Won Lawyer,' he received enthusiastic responses from viewers with his comical acting and restrained slapstick, and in MBC's 'Black Sun,' he solidified his presence with intense action and delicate emotional performances, leaving behind another representative work.
Moreover, in SBS's 'Stove League,' he transformed into the character 'Baek Seung-soo' from head to toe, grabbing the grand prize at the '2020 SBS Acting Awards,' and in KBS's 'Doctor Prisoner,' he thrilled viewers with his quality performances, bringing tension and excitement to the drama.
In this way, Namgoong-min has boasted an unlimited acting spectrum by crossing genres from romantic comedy to medical thriller, social satire comedy, spy action, legal drama, and human historical melodrama. Expectations are growing for his new transformation to be showcased in 'Our Movie.'
The SBS weekend drama 'Our Movie,' featuring actor Namgoong-min, airs every Friday and Saturday at 9:50 p.m.
