Lee Je-hoon made viewers maintain hot tension throughout the broadcast with his flawless acting skills as if he were a trusted actor in JTBC's Saturday-Sunday drama 「The Art of Negotiation」 (script Lee Seung-young, director Ahn Pan-seok). In the 11th episode, which aired on the 12th, Yoon Jun-no was audited for leaking undisclosed information and trading illegal stocks, and depicted the process of revealing the truth about the Jumbo Pharmaceutical case mentioned by Chairman Song (Sung Dong-il).
Earlier, Yun Juno was investigated by the audit team through someone's report, which shocked the M&A team and other industrial groups, while Juno appeared calm even after receiving an audit notice, amplifying questions about the inside story. Juno asked his team members who were curious about the truth if they had heard of Jumbo Pharmaceuticals, and in the scene that went back to the past, when Ha Jeon-moo (Jang Hyun-sung) was the head of the M&A team, CEO of Jumbo Pharmaceuticals Ko Byung-soo came to see Juno face each other. Ha Jeon-moo asked to hurry up the investment process in a short period of time because he had made a backdoor deal with CEO Ko in advance, and Juno was cautious. After much consideration, Juno went out for on-site inspection of Jumbo Pharmaceutical, and witnessed the fact that drugs were imported from the United States and sold only wrapping paper. Juno then delivered the due diligence report to Ha Jeon-moo, but it was not properly reviewed.
In the end, Juno, who attended the disciplinary committee, only answered Ha Jeon-moo's question about his past actions, which made viewers feel anxious. In the following past flashbacks, it was shocking to discover that the chairman accidentally learned that Jumbo Pharmaceuticals was the place the industrial group was trying to invest in, and that CEO Ko Byung-soo intentionally visited the chairman and handed him 100 million won to participate in the stock operation. Later, Junoga told President Juno that the Sanin Group had no intention of investing in Jumbo Pharmaceuticals, but it had already bought the stock. At the end of the play, when Ha Jeon-moo said he would fire Juno for leaking undisclosed information to his brother, Juno refuted this, and Ha Jeon-moo even questioned the details of illegal stock trading as if he were dumbfounded. Juno acknowledged that he held 50,000 Jumbo Pharmaceutical shares worth 1 billion won, but he was lost in thought for a while with a sharp look, raising viewers' curiosity about what the hidden truth would be.
Lee Je-hoon not only kept his composure until the truth of the black rumor surrounding Yoon Jun-no was revealed, but also drove the flow of the drama by portraying the emotions of a person with multiple emotions in three dimensions. Yun Juno is a person who firmly responds to what he has not done even in a negative situation where he is summoned to the disciplinary committee due to the audit team's investigation. In this episode, in particular, Lee Je-hoon's heavy acting skills were more brilliant and revealed his acting skills without filtering, as he had to engage in a lonely confrontation amid the interrogation of various characters. Lee Je-hoon portrayed Yoon Jun-no's emotions in a straightforward manner and expressed them in a low-pitched voice tone with sharp and subtle eye changes. In addition, he realistically expressed the agony and anger of Yun Jun-no, who has a sad heart, as well as restrained emotional performance in the scene of conflict with his brother through past flashbacks, giving viewers an intense sense of immersion. In particular, the moment the older president visited him and hung on desperately, the scene where Juno turned away from it and turned his head, left a deep lingering feeling of sadness intersecting with cold determination and trying to hide it. Lee Je-hoon's delicate performance further elevated the dignity of the drama and served as a central axis of records that are broken every week.
Meanwhile, the final episode of JTBC's Saturday-Sunday Drama The Art of Negotiation will air at 10:30 p.m. on the 13th.
