In the eighth episode, which aired on the 16th, Lee Kyu-sung appeared as the commercial sales manager 'Cham Oil' and immediately dominated the drama with his slick charm and solid acting skills.
In the broadcast on this day, Kim Nak-soo (Ryu Seung-ryong) was depicted preparing for a new life after retiring from a large company, and Lee Kyu-sung appeared as the role of 'Cham Oil'. From the first impression of distributing flyers for the sale of shopping malls, he lifted the boundaries of Kim Nak-soo with his natural speech and kind attitude, and quickly provided information to him who came to the sale office, showing his appearance as a veteran manager. In the scene where a toast shop is recommended instead of a cafe, it even showed off a sensible 's sense of the field' to add vitality to the play.
In particular, facial expressions that vary from scene to scene increased the concentration of viewers. The expression of being unable to hide the difficulty of the sale price discount proposal made even the viewers nervous, and when Kim Nak-soo decided to purchase it, he gave it to him "Please discuss it with your wife and come back."The line " left a strange tension and lingering feeling. As Lee Kyu-sung's slick side peaked, the situation of 's alleged fraud' revealed at the end of the broadcast shocked even more and raised expectations for the next episode.
Lee Kyu-sung is active as a "scene stealer" this year, moving from KBS2 'Eunsu Good Day' to JTBC 'Negotiation Techniques' to Netflix 'Tangeum'. On top of that, he once again proved his presence by playing a key role in 'Chief Kim's story' that shakes the center of the case. As it shows a wide spectrum across the small screen and OTT, attention is being paid to its future moves.
