Actor Nam Da-reum gave a dazzling performance as the crown prince with a strong will.

The first one-act play ‘The Historian Discusses’ (directed by Lee Ga-ram, written by Lim Eui-jeong) of KBS2‘s ‘Drama Special 2024’, which aired on the 5th, contains the story of a young historian who tries to protect history and the crown prince who tries to erase history in order to become the king, staking their beliefs on each other.

In the play, Nam Da-reum played the role of Crown Prince, the crown prince of Joseon. The Crown Prince is a man of unparalleled knowledge and a perfect character who can hit all 50 arrows out of 50 shots. Nam Da-reum, who plays the Crown Prince with strong leadership, displayed excellent acting that created tension from the very beginning with his sharp confrontation with Tang Jun-sang, who plays Nam Yeo-gang, an officer who boldly steps forward to protect his beliefs.

In the broadcast that day, Nam Da-reum displayed the charismatic dignity of the Crown Prince, firmly capturing the hearts of viewers from his first appearance. He also caught people’s attention by perfectly digesting various costumes, including the red dragon robe, in addition to his warm visuals.

In addition, Nam Da-reum led the narrative of the drama with his perfect character digestion skills that were no less than his perfect visuals. While creating a dignified atmosphere worthy of a flawless Crown Prince, he also increased immersion by steadily portraying the character of the Crown Prince through his determination to erase the records of the ‘Im-o Year’ until the very end.

In particular, Nam Da-reum‘s acting, which perfectly immersed him in the character, boasted bromance chemistry with Tang Jun-sang, who played Nam Yeo-gang in the drama, heightening the tension of the drama while simultaneously increasing its perfection. Although they are in an opposing relationship, he expressed his longing for Nam Yeo-gang, who was his childhood friend, earnestly stimulating the emotions of viewers and leaving a lingering impression.

Nam Da-reum received favorable reviews for successfully returning to the small screen after his military service as the first runner for KBS2’s ‘Drama Special 2024’, shedding his innocent boyish charm and exuding a more mature charm.
