Ahn Ji-ho first appeared as Juan with a keen sense and excellent hand skills in the ENA Monday-Tuesday drama 'I Shopping' (played by Ahn So-jung, directed by Oh Ji-hwan) and left a strong impression.
Juan showed a reliable presence in protecting the children by coming forward before anyone else in every moment of crisis. With both calm judgment and warm sensibility, he sometimes acted as a troubleshooter who led the situation flexibly and even coordinated the team's atmosphere.
In the scene that followed, he skillfully handled various technologies such as eavesdropping, hacking, and disturbance, demonstrating his true value as a 'technical character'. In particular, he completed a three-dimensional and attractive character by properly relieving the tension of the play with a quirky and pleasant tone.
Later, Juan ventured into the house of Han Chul-soo, the father of Somi (Lee Na-eun), and showed a bold aspect of overpowering him at once, while dressing up as a woman. Even in the short scene, he left a strong lingering impression with his ability to respond to crises, quickness, and complex emotions.
As such, Ahn Ji-ho showed a deeper performance by expressing characters that cross humor and humanity in detail from his first appearance. Beyond the simple victim, expectations are high for his actions to be active in the stories of children living with wounds.
Meanwhile, ENA 'I Shopping' airs every Monday and Tuesday at 10 p.m., and is also released on TVING as an OTT exclusive.
