Nam Joo Hyuk shook the hearts of women with his role in “Twenty Five Twenty One”.
Actor Nam Joo Hyuk is making a legendary character in tvN’s Saturday-Sunday drama “Twenty Five Twenty One”. Nam Joo Hyuk, who has become the “everyone’s first love” with his warm-hearting visuals, excitement-inspiring eyes, and warm smile, is receiving enthusiastic response from viewers.
Nam Joo Hyuk, who plays Baek Yi Jin in “Twenty Five Twenty One”, is realistically depicting the worries and frustrations of an unstable young man who is collapsed and hurt by the overwhelming reality, starting with responsible efforts to save his family which got into a crisis because of the IMF.
At the beginning of the drama, Nam Joo Hyuk expressed the various emotions he had as Na Hee Do’s (Kim Tae Ri) friendly neighborhood friend and the loneliness of a 22-year-old youth tired of the harsh reality. In particular, his calm confession in front of the debtor, “I will never be happy, I will never be happy at any moment,” was enough to touch the hearts of viewers.
If Na Hee Do looks like a lively comic book character, Baek Yi Jin reminds people of a light novel character. Nam Joo Hyuk convincingly depicts Baek Yi Jin‘s light emotions, enriching the character’s narrative.
Nam Joo Hyuk, who overcame the difficult situation and passed the reporter exam to become a reporter, doubled his romantic charm with a more mature side. The sweet words spoken casually by him are stealing fangirls’ hearts despite no obvious touch or dramatic situations.
In particular, at the ending of the 8th episode, he said, “It’s love. I’m in love with you, Na Hee Do. I don’t need a rainbow”, making viewers’ hearts flutter.
Nam Joo Hyuk became the icon of first love through “Twenty Five Twenty One”. Although he has a handsome face and stable acting skills, he has not had a representative work that has led to a great success. In his previous work “Start-up”, he did not receive much attention compared to the sub-lead Kim Seon Ho, and in “Dazzling”, he also did not draw much attention compared to Han Ji Min and Kim Hye Ja.
At the end of his 20s, Nam Joo Hyuk bloomed through his role in “Twenty Five Twenty One”. With the drama’s ratings surpassing 10%, let’s look forward to Baek Yi Jin’s growth drawn by Nam Joo Hyuk in the future episodes.
