In JTBC's new Saturday-Sunday drama The Story of Manager Kim, who works at a large company in Seoul, which will premiere on the 25th, he will portray the second half of his life realistically by playing Kim Nak-soo, the manager of the first sales team with 25 years of experience at a large company.
Actor Ryu Seung-ryong has performed all-weather activities regardless of genre, transforming into a completely different face in each film. In Disney+ 'Moving', Jang Joo-won, an agent with infinite reproduction capabilities, broke down and crossed the desperate action and affectionate emotional line, imprinting his all-time presence. In particular, the heartbreaking romance completed with Hwang Ji-hee's narrative was enthusiastically received by the public.
Since then, Netflix 'Chicken Gangjeong' has caused tears and laughter at the same time with the best father who lost his daughter to chicken gangjeong. The scene of crying while hugging the chicken gangjeong with the daughter's traces took center stage of the work by exquisitely melting the sad fatherhood behind the comicality.
In the second half of this year, Disney+ also released 'Fine: Mountaineers', he succeeded in another transformation by decomposing it into Oh Gwan-seok, the leader of action who does everything for money. He digested the character with more eyes than words with restrained emotions and a heavy presence, drawing criticism that 'Ryu Seung-ryong as well'.
He will convey another deep resonance through a character named Kim Nak-soo, who lives in a collapse after losing everything and regaining himself in 'The Story of Manager Kim'. It is a character that coexists with realistic humor and deep sensibility, and it depicts a dramatic journey that makes you look back on your life, work, and family.
Ryu Seung-ryong is raising expectations among prospective viewers by showing the essence of life acting with just the teaser video. He is expanding his spectrum by showing a completely different determined figure for each work, and this time, he is expected to provide more immersion than expected.
Meanwhile, JTBC's new Saturday-Sunday drama starring Ryu Seung-ryong 'The Story of Manager Kim, who works at a large company in Seoul, will premiere at 10:40 p.m. on Saturday the 25th.
