Actor Lee Ho-jung is drawing attention by portraying a ‘three-dimensional villain’ with a different feel from existing villain roles in JTBC weekend drama ‘Good Boy’.

In the drama, Lee Ho-jung plays the role of the devil, and she clearly shows her presence as a character who has a humane narrative despite her cold ruthlessness.In episodes 9 and 10, which aired on the 28th and 29th, some of the devil’s past and inner self were revealed, raising curiosity.

The devil showed his side as a strong villain by dealing a fatal blow to the special team with Min Joo-young(played by Oh Jung-se)and his gang, while stealing evidence.However, he showed that he was not a simple villain by setting a condition of “not selling to children or Korea” during a drug deal with the Japanese yakuza, and saving Ji Han-na(played by Kim So-hyun)from danger.

The flashback scene that followed further raised interest in the character by suggesting that the devil was looking for the sister he lost as a child.The complex inner side of the devil was highlighted through his past where he saved Jeong Mi-ja’s(Seo Jeong-yeon)life and his appearance of not crossing the line, such as not harming Go Man-sik’s(Heo Sung-tae)daughter and Ji Han-na.

Lee Ho-jung focused on expressing the duality and complex emotions of this character.Although he appears cynical and cunning on the outside, he delicately portrays the wounds and loneliness inside, drawing viewers into his performance.In particular, his ability to convey emotions with just a glance and a short breath makes the devil’s presence in the drama even more convincing.

Lee Ho-jung, who has established himself as the axis of the narrative beyond the simple good and evil structure, is establishing himself as a key figure leading the development of the latter half of ‘Good Boy’.Attention is focused on Lee Ho-jung’s actions to see how the hidden narrative of the devil will unfold in the future.

Meanwhile, JTBC’s ‘Good Boy’ airs every Saturday at 10:40 PM and Sunday at 10:30 PM.
