Actor Kim Yoo-jung is proving her irreplaceable presence.
In the original TVing Dear X, Kim Yoo-jung is performing her passionate performance by refining the interpretation and expression of the scene more precisely as she repeats the episode. In the 7th and 8th episodes, which were released on the 20th, her solid performance that maintained the flow of emotions without shaking caused viewers to be overly immersed.
In particular, in the 7th episode, Kim Yoo-jung completed an overwhelming scene that destroyed Lena by expressing Baek Ah-jin's cool attitude toward Lena (Lee Yeol-eum) with a calm expression, relaxed smile, and a drowsy tone. In the 8th episode that followed, even though the surrounding situation began to change in the wake of the death of his mother Heo In-gang (Hwang In-yeop), Baek A-jin's desire was more clearly revealed by coolly controlling the flow. He once again proved his acting ability without limits by building the backside of the character in three dimensions by controlling the explosive emotion and moderation.
In this way, Kim Yoo-jung leads the play's completeness by firmly dragging the narrative of the character Baek A-jin. The agency Awesome ENT said, "Kim Yoo-jung has made efforts to express 200% of the character's charm based on the concentration and accurate use of emotions that lead the flow of the scene. Please continue to support Kim Yoo-jung, who is performing her long-established acting skills without addition or subtraction."
Kim Yoo-jung, who leads 'Dear X', has been at the center of the topic at home and abroad since its first release on the 6th. In the Good Data Corporation's weekly popularity Fundex survey released on the 18th, Kim Yoo-jung's power was properly realized by ranking first in the popularity of TV-OTT integrated drama actors.
In addition, according to HBO Max, it is considered one of the highest performing titles among Asian works in 17 countries and regions in the Asia-Pacific, including Southeast Asia, Taiwan, and Hong Kong. In the first week of its release, Rakuten Viki also ranked in the top three in terms of weekly viewing in the Americas, Europe, Oceania, and India, and ranked first in 108 countries, including the United States, Brazil, Mexico, the United Kingdom, France, and India. Kim Yoo-jung's performance is raising global interest in the entire work, including being ranked in the Top 3 in the Disney+ Japanese daily rankings.
