Actor Jung Sung-il caught everyone‘s attention by showing a heightened sense of immersion with his 180-degree change after his full awakening.

Jung Sung-il’s delicate portrayal of slowly opening his heart and permeating the ‘Trigger’ team in Disney+‘s ‘Trigger’ added to the excitement.

In episodes 3 and 4 of Disney+’s ‘Trigger’ that aired on Wednesday, the 22nd, Hando (played by Jung Sung-il) lost his humanity once again as he exploded with unbearable anger when Son Jun-yeong (played by Moon Woo-jin), who had been abusing animals, ended up killing the grandfather who was protecting missing children and cats. However, through the animal abuse incident, he awakened to the idea of creating a truthful and trustworthy program, and he solidified the character‘s narrative with detailed emotional acting.



In this process, Hando cut his hair short and He appears with a 180-degree makeover and protects So-ryong (played by Kim Hye-soo), who is caught up in a scandal, with a black umbrella and confronts the press. On the other hand, when Jo Hae-won (played by Choo Ja-hyun), the last witness and informant in the long-standing unsolved case of the disappearance of Cha Sung-wook, appears and shows a suspicious look in her eyes and expression, he maintains a cynical attitude and adds tension to the drama.

In this way, Jeong Seong-il continues the development of the drama with captivating acting, as expected from an actor you can trust and watch. When he has a sharp confrontation with Moon Woo-jin, he overwhelms his explosive anger with just a restrained voice and gaze, and by expressing different emotions and the strength of his voice differently for each character he faces, he densely expresses the character of Han-do, making viewers immersed in the work.

In particular, Jeong Seong-il shows off his acting skills without filtering by adding hidden comical elements to the fiercely swirling development, and unlike his first appearance where he didn’t even draw attention when he crash-landed on the ‘Trigger’ team, he delicately expresses how he gradually opens his heart and gets closer, making viewers curious about the changing relationship between the ‘Trigger’ team in the future.

‘Trigger’, starring Jeong Seong-il, who causes viewers to become immersed with his seasoned passionate acting that shakes up the drama, is released every Wednesday on Disney+.
