In the JTBC Wednesday-Thursday drama 'Understanding Love' (directed by Cho Young-min / written by Lee Seo-hyun and Lee Hyun-jung / produced by SLL), Moon Ga-young plays the role of Ahn Soo-young, the goddess of the KCU Bank Yeongpo branch and who believes that love is a sandcastle that can collapse in an instant, and not only delivers an unaffected emotional performance, but also , immediately captivated viewers with narration that conveyed deep resonance.
Ahn Soo-young, played passionately by Moon Ga-young, is a character who is kind to everyone, but not kind to herself, and has a pain that cannot be easily brought out to anyone. Unlike the characters she has shown so far, she has a face that gradually loses vitality, a dry but strangely sharp voice, and a wide range of emotions. Even the face with a small smile was expressed in detail, increasing immersion.
Moon Ga-young not only completed the complex emotions of a character who wanted love but not only love with delicate and dense acting, she also built the character so that viewers could easily understand the character's diverse emotional lines.
In particular, Ahn Soo-young, who is not Moon Ga-young, played a passionate performance that completely assimilated Soo-young to an unimaginable degree, making viewers fall in love with her by pretending not to notice the feelings of endlessly falling in love with Sang-su (played by Yoo Yeon-seok) and guiding Ahn Soo-young's feelings in detail as she eventually disappeared to Tongyeong. .
In addition, Moon Ga-young displays diverse chemistry with not only Yoo Yeon-seok, but also Jeong Ga-ram (played by Jeong Jong-hyun) and Keum Sae-rok (played by Park Mi-kyung), and also boasts strong chemistry with KCU bankers such as Moon Tae-yu (played by So Kyung-pil) and Jo Joo-ah (played by Seo Min-hee). It made it more fun to watch. In this way, Moon Ga-young not only delivers a heartrending melodrama that draws you in for an instant, but also works well with each character, garnering passionate and diverse responses such as 'Rediscovery of Moon Ga-young' and 'A Dry Moon Ga-young You've Never Seen Before', thereby broadening her spectrum.
Expectations are high for the next move of Moon Ga-young, who is renewing her life's character by 'making Moon Ga-yeong' of all the characters with her unique character interpretation skills in each work she participates in.
Meanwhile, in episode 15, Sooyoung came down to Tongyeong as if running away to cut off all ties connected to Sangsu, but in the end, Sangsu found Sooyoung and the two reunited again. The two meet again and play a truth game, not a lying game where they hid their true feelings. When they hear Sang-su's confession that his feelings for her are not unhappiness but variables, they kiss Sang-su with serious eyes and convey their unsaid feelings, making viewers' hearts flutter. The anticipation for the ending exploded.
JTBC's 'Love Understanding' will air its final episode today (9th) at 10:30 PM.
