While tvN's Monday-Tuesday drama 『First, For Love』 announced a pleasant start to the first place in the same time slot with a highest 4.3% viewership in the country, Jang Deok-soo, who appeared in the second episode aired on the 5th, immediately focused the attention of the small screen.
"First, For Love" is a drama about a story of love, not the end, that a single mother and a medical student daughter, who unexpectedly faced the second act of life, decide to live today's happiness, not tomorrow. Jang Deok-soo will play a major role in the development by acting on the high school days of the male protagonist, Ryu Jung-seok, and giving excitement and empathy to Lee Ji-an (Won Yoo-jin). Jang Deok-soo, who appeared for the first time in the play, drew attention at once with his visuals and atmosphere that were bound to fall in love.
Ryu Jung-seok (Jang Deok-soo), who firmly blocked Lee Ji-an, who lost his balance and almost fell when the bus suddenly stopped, created a mystery as if he were from a cartoon. White skin, neat hair, intelligent visuals created by large glasses and "Are you OK?Lee Ji-an also fell in love with Ryu Jeong-seok's unique charm, who does not speak in dialect.
Ryu Jeong-seok is also quite embarrassed by Lee Ji-an, who visited his school and serenaded him with love. Expectations are already high on what chemistry and episodes Ryu Jung-seok, who shakes his head with the bold Lee Ji-an, who goes straight without hesitation, but whose eyes are fixed toward him, will empathize with viewers in the future.
Jang Deok-soo established himself as a rising star in the first half of the year by performing in tvN 'Unknown Seoul' and 'Cheongdam International High School 2', which continued to be strong in OTT. In particular, in this First, For Love, it showed a new charm by perfectly digesting someone's first love, not the sharp villain character shown in previous works, and a character who brings memories and nostalgia of the past. Attention is being paid to Jang Deok-soo's other side and wide acting spectrum, which will unfold as the episodes continue.
Jang Deok-soo showed an impressive presence from Ryu Jung-seok's appearance. Everyone is paying attention to his performance, which started in earnest.
