Seo Ji-hye, Hong Soo-hyun, and Lee Sang-woo create an awkward atmosphere that has never been seen before.
TV CHOSUN's weekend mini-series 'Red Balloon' tells the thrilling and thrilling story of the relative deprivation we all suffer from, the stomach-wrenching thirst of desire, and our struggle to quench that thirst. Above all, the 11th episode of 'Red Balloon', which aired on Saturday the 28th, soared to 6.9% nationwide viewership rating and 7.5% per minute, according to Nielsen Korea, breaking its own record for Saturday viewership ratings and continuing its upward trend.
In the 11th episode, Jo Eung-kang (played by Seo Ji-hye) was captured by desire after spending a hot night with Go Cha-won (played by Lee Sang-woo) and went berserk. Jo Eung-kang confessed in a letter that he had been in love with Go-cha-won for 10 years, and Go-cha-won was confused by Jo Eun-kang's passionate sincerity. Moreover, Jo Eung-kang confessed his sorrowful feelings after that night to Go-cha-won, but when Go-cha-won only cared about Hanbada (played by Hong Soo-hyun), he jumped into the sea, got completely soaked in the water, and burst into mad ridicule, giving people goosebumps.
In relation to this, in episode 12, which airs on the 29th (today), the 'dangerous moment' in which Seo Ji-hye reveals a commemorative photo of an amusement park to Hong Soo-hyun was revealed, drawing attention. There is a scene in the play where Han Bada spills the contents of Jo Eun-kang's bag on the desk. As Han Bada was looking through the items on her desk, she stopped in shock when she saw a Polaroid photo taken at an amusement park by Jo Eung-kang, Go Cha-won, and Go Mi-poong (played by Oh Eun-seo).
Jo Eung-kang is embarrassed and makes excuses, and Go-dimension enters behind the somewhat displeased appearance of Han Bada, creating an extremely awkward atmosphere between Jo Eung-kang and Go-dimension. The meeting of the perplexed Jo Eun-kang, the trembling sea, and the calm high-dimensional atmosphere of the dangerous triangle is attracting attention.
On the other hand, the 'ominous omen three shot' scene between Seo Ji-hye, Hong Soo-hyun and Lee Sang-woo led a natural flow due to the excellent acting of the three people who had become closer during the long filming period. Seo Ji-hye and Hong Soo-hyun, who were exchanging lines while standing in separate filming positions, suddenly became close, face-to-face and collaborating, revealing their extraordinary intimacy. Lee Sang-woo, who appeared late, proved his gentle charm by carefully checking the timing and movement line of opening the door and being considerate of Seo Ji-hye and Hong Soo-hyun, who acted before him. In particular, unlike the awkward scene in the air, the three people are said to have warmed up the viewers by bursting into laughter as they talked about Jo Eun-gang, Hanbada, and High Dimensions as soon as the camera turned off.
The production team said, “As Hanbada learns one by one things she didn’t know about Jo Eun-kang, viewers will empathize with her and experience heart-throbbing experiences.” They added, “What will happen to Jo Eun-kang and Go-Dimensional, who have crossed the line? “Please pay attention to the three people who are falling deeper and deeper into the ‘blue swamp’ to see if they will ever understand their relationship.”
Episode 12 of ‘Red Balloon’ will be broadcast at 9:10 PM on this day.
