On the 15th, ENA's new Monday-Tuesday drama 'I Shopping' (played by Ahn So-jung, directed by Oh Ji-hwan) is raising expectations by revealing a still from Choi Young-joon (played by Woo Tae-sik) and Kim Jinyoung Kim (played by Jung-hyun).
'I Shopping' is an action thriller about the desperate survival and revenge of children who manage to survive the death threshold after being abandoned by their adoptive parents. It is attracting attention as a well-made genre that combines unconventional settings and emotional density.
In the still released, Choi Young-joon expresses Woo Tae-sik's strong will to protect the children with one eye, signaling a heavy narrative. His expression of complex emotions catches the eye at once, and shows the true value of 'Trusting Actor', which creates the center of the play just by its existence. Choi Young-joon's deep acting, which holds the play firmly, is expected to shine again this time.
On the other hand, Chung Hyeon, played by Jinyoung Kim, is a de facto operator of an illegal adoption organization, and his sharp eyes alone create tension. Jinyoung Kim, who challenged her first action performance, will demonstrate her overwhelming presence with restrained movements and energetic performances. Expectations are rising for the new face that Jinyoung Kim, who brought life to the character through rough instincts and speedy movements, will show.
The conflicting attitudes of the two characters toward the refunded children are expected to instill tension in the play, heralding a fierce narrative conflict. The conflict between those who want to protect and those who want to remove it provides narrative depth beyond mere good and evil, and the passionate performance of the two actors will lead to the peak of the conflict. In particular, in 'i-shopping', the action acts more than just a sight to behold. Choi Young-joon "I thought action was an important axis in the work"He said he used action as a means to reveal the two sides of the character beyond simple movements." The Jinyoung Kim is also "As Jeonghyun is a human weapon, it was important to show rough and instinctive action." he said. As both actors used the action as an extension of their acting and used it as a means to double the persuasiveness of the character and the play, more attention is focused on the action performance in 'I Shopping'.
As such, the new and old combination of veteran Choi Young-joon and new Jinyoung Kim will fill the narrative of window shopping in three dimensions and serve as a key factor in further enhancing the completeness of the play. Expectations are growing as to what development the mixed fate of Woo Tae-sik and Chung Hyun, who have different beliefs and purposes, will lead to.
Meanwhile, ENA's new Monday-Tuesday drama 'I Shopping' will premiere at 10 p.m. on the 21st, and will be released on TVing on OTT.
