Based on the popular animation of the YouTube channel Chang Pizu, "Shin Byeong 3" is a work that captures laughter and empathy in realistic military life. As we enter season 3, the expanded story, the relationship between characters, and the actors' enthusiasm are harmonized to attract favorable reviews from viewers.
In recent broadcasts, Sung Yun-mo's reversal, who has been active as a 'villain', drew attention. People around him were confused by his appearance of listening to hymns and shedding tears or faithfully working on miscellaneous tasks at church, and Kim Sang-hoon (Lee Choong-gu), who went to Yeongchang due to his past misdeeds, was particularly obsessed with complex feelings. After Kim Dong-woo (played by Jang Sung-beom)'s sincere persuasion to accept Sung Yun-mo again, Kim Sang-hoon decided to accept him as a member of the first dormitory, and the play took a turning point.
In addition, Choi Il-gu (played by Nam Tae-woo) left a strong impression with a scene of being traumatized when he was transferred as a mobilization training assistant and reunited with his seniors who had bullied him in the past. The development of expanding the stage not only inside the military but also outside training sites is further raising reality.
In the behind-the-scenes stills, the passion of the actors was revealed. Kim Min-ho's meticulous checking of the monitor even during breaks was another seriousness than the clumsy Park Min-seok, which gave us a clue to the detailed acting. Kim Dong-joon drew attention with his perfect physical conditions 'ready recruits', and the natural chemistry between Nam Tae-woo, Cha Young-nam, Jeon Seung-hoon, and Lee Chung-gu made the atmosphere warmer on the spot.
An unexpected love line also appeared here. The scene in which sergeant Park Min-ju, played by Lee Soo-ji, and vice-captain Lim Sung-min, played by Nam Min-woo, were conscious of each other shook viewers' hearts, and the sharing of hand hearts raised expectations for later development.
The production team said that "various episodes inside and outside the Shinhwa Unit are scheduled to take place in earnest" and that "the laughter so far is only a trailer." There will be more in-depth and three-dimensional stories."
'New Disease 3' airs every Monday and Tuesday at 10 p.m. on the channel ENA, and is exclusively released on Genie TV with free VOD immediately after the main broadcast. It can also be viewed on OTT platform TVing.
