Actor Kim Jae-wook received favorable reviews for his warm and earnest expression of touching brotherly love.

The Netflix series ‘Melo Movie’, which was released on the 14th, calmly and delicately depicts the relationships and emotional changes in the encounters, partings, and reunions of young men and women. Kim Jae-wook played the role of ‘Go Joon’, the older brother of Go Gyeom (played by Choi Woo-shik), and displayed his gentle charm.

This is truly a rediscovery of Kim Jae-wook. Go Joon lives each day with a dry and withered face. He always has a blank expression that makes it hard to tell what he‘s thinking, and it’s questionable whether he has any emotions at all, but he becomes infinitely affectionate in front of his younger brother for some reason. ‘A sullen Kim Jae-wook’, but Kim Jae-wook‘s Go Joon completely exceeded that expectation.

For him, who lived a repetitive daily life with an indifferent expression, the existence of his younger brother was so important. Kim Jae-wook’s appearance, conveyed only through the screen without a few lines, accurately conveyed and represented the character‘s complex emotions. With the contrasting atmosphere of emptiness and warmth, Kim Jae-wook’s new charm that has taken root deep in the viewers keeps making them curious.

His languid yet affectionate voice conveyed even a warm feeling. His eyes and voice, as he spends a peaceful daily life with his younger brother Go Gyum, are completely focused on his younger brother. Can the love of brothers be this heartbreaking, transcending the love between a man and a woman? Kim Jae-wook‘s veteran acting that he has built up over time has doubled the immersion. In particular, the scene in which the character’s sincerity is conveyed through the latter half narration immediately captivated the viewers. It was born as a scene that could not be watched without tears, conveyed through Kim Jae-wook‘s plain yet earnest voice.

Kim Jae-wook, who expresses the ordinariness of reality so well. It is bound to be special. Furthermore, the fact that we can sympathize deeply with his emotions as we follow their variations is also the power of the actor. Kim Jae-wook’s signature deep aftertaste freezes the heart like the cold winter weather. Kim Jae-wook‘s diverse transformations, from genre films to romantic comedies, to conveying longing and comfort, are welcome. Kim Jae-wook’s familiarity and newness can be seen in the Netflix series ‘Melo Movie’.
