Joo Ji-hoon, who swallowed ‘Baek Kang-hyuk’, adds a life character (Severe Trauma Center)

The passionate acting of actor Joo Ji-hoon, who perfectly played the role of Baek Kang-hyeok in the ‘Severe Trauma Center’, is a hot topic. Joo Ji-hoon played the role of Baek Kang-hyeok, a genius surgeon who ran around the battlefield in the Netflix series ‘Severe Trauma Center’, and showed off his great performance that goes beyond medical, action, comedy, and human.

Joo Ji-hoon‘s experience, such as the bike scenes and the thrilling surgery scenes that he performed mostly himself, completed the drama’s attractions.

Jeong Seong-il, winged acting performance… ‘limitless’ inner strength (Trigger)

Actor Jung Sung-il is showing off his ‘limitless charm’. Jung Sung-il, who plays the role of Hando in Disney+‘s ‘Trigger’, is capturing the attention of viewers with his irresistible presence. ‘Trigger’, which aired episodes 5 and 6 on the 29th (Wednesday), is reaching its turning point, and Jung Sung-il’s acting, which freely goes between warmth and coldness, seriousness and comedy, is drawing attention. While seriously depicting the process of Han-Do, who had a hard time adapting to the investigative reporting program ‘Trigger’ team and was passive, gradually becoming a one-dimensional but mission-oriented ‘Trigger’ PD, his rookie-like appearance of trying to get into trouble with nothing but his bare body and no skills humorously changes the flow of the character, who lacks flexibility. He ignores his own body and rushes to the scene of the crime first, and at first he trembles with discomfort at the sight of So-Ryong (played by Kim Hye-Soo), who lacks conversation skills, but he im
