'Good Man' Ryu Hye-young was a master of unexpected charms... It's full of confidence, warmth, and heat



Actress Ryu Hye-young is leading viewers' favorable reviews with her unique charm in JTBC's Friday series "Good Guy" (directed by Song Hae-sung and Park Hong-soo, scripted by Kim Woon-kyung and Kim Hyo-seok, produced by Hive Media Corp. and TME Group).

In the play, Ryu Hye-young is the youngest daughter of a gangster family and an elite nurse 'Park Seok-hee', growing her presence as she decomposes. While exerting confidence as a pillar of the family, it is increasing the immersion of the play with its unexpected charm of giving warm comfort to friends and confronting them without hesitation in front of fire.

Viewers can see that he is the youngest but still takes care of his family. "His eyes and tone of dialogue perfectly express the sense of responsibility of the character" is responding and cheering for both the character and the actor. In particular, the scene of confronting injustice in the hospital and blowing 'heading' without hesitation or confronting the other person who ignores her in harsh language gave me a pleasant feeling.




In addition, he showed warmth in front of his friend Mi-young (Lee Sung-kyung), and moved the hearts of viewers with the delicacy of being considerate with laughter even when borrowing money. The brother-sister chemistry with Seok-cheol (Lee Dong-wook) and Seok-kyung (Oh Na-ra) in the play also attracts attention, completing the three-dimensional charm of Park Seok-hee's character.

Ryu Hye-young is said to bring the character 'Park Seok-hee' to life by exchanging understated expressive power and intense energy. As the drama enters the second half, expectations are also high for the new emotions and narratives she will portray.

Meanwhile, JTBC's Friday series 'Good Guy' airs two consecutive episodes every Friday at 8:50 p.m.
