Actor Seo Hyun perfectly embodies two roles in KBS2 drama "The First Night With the Duke," earning recognition as a master of romantic comedy historical dramas.
Seo Hyun is showcasing a perfect dual performance by switching between the character 'K,' a college student who is lethargic and distanced from the world, and the character 'Cha Seon-taek,' who is suddenly pulled into her favorite novel and has a lovable, quirky charm.
In the released photos, Seo Hyun delicately expresses the emotional lines of two characters living in different times and backgrounds, bringing them to life. In reality, she perfectly portrayed the lonely and isolated feelings of 'K,' who shows a cynical attitude while cooped up in her room with a blank expression. On the other hand, as the character 'Cha Seon-taek' from the novel, she effortlessly transitions between moments of bright laughter while holding crops in her mouth, maximizing the charm of the contrasting characters.
Such acting variations not only vividly illustrate the deep emotional gap between the two characters but also play a significant role in enriching the narrative, allowing viewers to immerse themselves naturally.
Additionally, Seo Hyun heightened the drama's realism with her passionate and fearless acting. Particularly in challenging underwater scenes, she immersed herself in the character without wavering, leaving a strong impression on viewers. Her delicate acting imbues each glance and breath with emotion, convincingly conveying the character's inner feelings, evoking empathy and tenderness.
Outwardly a bright and cheerful romantic comedy, Seo Hyun sincerely unfolds hidden stories of loneliness, pain, warmth, and growth, completing the multifaceted charm of her character. The deeper emotional expressions and stable presence that deepen with each episode showcase her outstanding acting skills.
Since episode 1 through episode 10, Seo Hyun has been a pivotal force in the drama, forming a strong connection with viewers and receiving positive acclaim. She has established herself as a new representative figure in the romantic comedy historical drama genre.
Meanwhile, the 12-episode drama "The First Night With the Duke" will conclude with the final two episodes airing next Wednesday and Thursday at 9:50 p.m.
