‘Such an intimate scene-stealer!’
Yoon Kyung-ho, Noh Jae-won, and Kim Jung-jin have also appeared. They are receiving attention as the ‘Three Scene-Stealers’ in the currently airing MBC drama ‘Such an Intimate Traitor’(Lee Chin-ja).
They are not just supporting actors, but display a presence that is no less than that of the lead actor, Han Suk-kyu. In particular, as the drama has recently passed its midpoint and has begun to gain traction through word of mouth, the public interest in the ‘Three Guys’ has grown even more.
In the drama, which depicts the story of the country‘s top profiler (Han Suk-kyu) encountering the secret of his daughter (Chae Won-bin) entangled in a murder case he is investigating, Yoon Kyung-ho plays the role of Oh Jung-hwan, the leader of the violent crimes unit who investigates the case with Han Suk-kyu.
He frequently clashes with Han Suk-kyu and engages in a war of nerves, but he is a ‘man of loyalty’ who takes good care of those he believes are his people.
Having appeared in previous works such as ‘Goblin’, ‘Mr. Sunshine’, and ‘Itaewon Class’, he is making his name known through this opportunity.
No Jae-won is the same.
He plays the role of Gu Dae-hong, a member of the Criminal Behavior Analysis Team that Han Suk-kyu belongs to, and increases the level of immersion. Unlike the cold characters around him, he is the only police officer who boasts a warm personality and excellent empathy, and he captures the attention of viewers by listening to the stories of criminals and victims.
He has garnered attention for his realistic portrayal of military life in previous works such as ‘Morning Comes to the Psychiatric Ward’, ‘Murderer’s Difficulty’, and the ‘D.P’ series.
Unlike the two, Kim Jung-jin, whose face and name are relatively unknown, also succeeded in leaving a strong impression. In the drama, he played the role of Choi Young-min, the leader of the ‘Runaway Family’. He is the key figure in all the murder cases and creates a tense atmosphere.
Thanks to the fun of watching with their unique acting, the drama recently ranked 5th in the integrated TV/OTT topic rankings.
