In the 3rd and 4th episodes, which aired on the 1st and 2nd, Cha Kang-yoon played Kim Soo-gyeom, who dreams of a life different from others, and captured the challenge of youth to find his own way out of the shadow of his father (Ryu Seung-ryong).
Kim Soo-gyeom joins as the chief destruction officer (CDO) of startup 'Jealous My Power' to adapt to the new environment and experience confusion and excitement at the same time. Realistic youth concerns, such as conflicts with freewheeling colleagues and internal conflicts between parents, were vividly conveyed.
In particular, he brought the character to life by adding a twist charm that reveals purity and passion in front of Lee Han-na (Lee Jin-yi).
Cha Kang-yoon is leading the sympathy of MZ generation viewers by unraveling Kim Soo-gyeom's emotional line, which intersects anxiety and growth, defiance and conformity with delicate eyes and facial expressions. Expectations are high for Kim Soo-gyeom's youth narrative in the future.
JTBC"The Story of Manager Kim who works at a large company in Seoul" airs every Saturday at 10:40 p.m. and Sunday at 10:30 p.m.
