Actor Seo Kang-joon is drawing attention with his perfect control of tempo and ‘acting of a lifetime’.

Seo Kang-joon recently played the role of Jung Hae-sung, an NIS agent who went undercover as a high school student in the MBC Friday-Saturday drama ‘Undercover High School’. The following are moments where Seo Kang-joon showed his limitless spectrum with customized acting depending on the scene.

● Detailed acting that distinguishes the past and present

The epilogue of Episode 3 contained Jung Hae-sung‘s past. The way he confessed his feelings in front of Team Leader Ahn (played by Jeon Bae-soo) was exactly like a high school student in his teens. His trembling face and tone as he tried to hold back tears were impressive.

On the other hand, the high school student played by Jung Hae-sung as an adult had a different tone of voice. Jung Hae-sung, who attended a school violence committee, listed the problems of bully Park Tae-soo (played by Jang Sung-beom) and said in a heavy tone, “You all know about this, right?”. Seo Kang-joon’s acting stood out, distinguishing between Jung Hae-seong‘s past and present with detailed differences.



● Control of speed that encompasses comedy and action

Seo Kang-joon’s comical acting is one of the elements that adds to the fun of the drama. Seo Kang-joon performed a clever and sharp dance with his NIS colleagues in order to join the student council. In particular, Jung Hae-seong‘s realistic speech that suddenly popped out while he was undercover as a high school student made us feel the joys and sorrows of being an office worker, which made us laugh.

Seo Kang-joon’s thrilling action acting, like soda, is also a hot topic. Seo Kang-joon, who took down an online illegal gambling ring linked to bully Park Tae-soo, increased the immersion with his nimble movements and flashy skills.

With Seo Kang-joon‘s irreplaceable performance, various online communities and SNS are receiving favorable reviews saying that Seo Kang-joon is giving the ‘acting of a lifetime’. Also, amidst these reactions, attention is focused on Seo Kang-joon’s performance in the remaining episodes.

Meanwhile, MBC‘s ‘Undercover High School’, starring Seo Kang-joon, airs every Friday and Saturday at 9:50 PM.
