Yoo In-na breaks up with Hwang Chan-seong, who cheated on her

Actress Yoo In-na gave a passionate performance with realistic, empathic emotions.

ENA's Wednesday-Thursday drama 'Look!' aired on the 19th. In episode 3 of 'Deborah', Bora (played by Yoo In-na) dreamed of a 'closed happy ending' and expected a proposal from her lover Noh Joo-wan (played by Hwang Chan-sung), but broke down after facing his cheating.

Bora slapped Juwan's chest and said in frustration, "Because I'm busy with work every day. Was this what 'please understand' and 'please wait' meant in the end? How could you do this to me?"

Yoo In-na captures Bora's complex state of mind, which is a mixture of anger, regret, self-blame, and sadness, with her eyes welling up with tears and her voice trembling with embarrassment. His emotional acting was enough to bring tears to the eyes of those who had broken down after a breakup.

Bora's words, as she reflects on the moment she witnessed the affair, blaming herself, saying, "I should have punched her in the face," and "If I cry, I'll lose," and struggles with the wounds of heartbreak 24 hours a day, with tears flowing endlessly even when she doesn't cry out loud. The action made everyone nod their heads.

Bora hated Joo Wan, calling him 'not crazy about work, just crazy' and 'garbage', but as soon as she heard a phone call or text message, she instinctively checked her phone. When Bora found out that Joo Wan was waiting in front of the house, she repeatedly recited "Don't cry, don't cry! Why are you crying?" to calm herself down, and even put on more heavy makeup to cover her eyes that were swollen with tears. Although I know it's not true in my head, Yoo In-na's portrayal of Bora's sad situation of being helpless in the face of emotions resonated with me.

Yoo In-na's monologue, which represented the character's emotional changes, was also delivered intact. In particular, ‘I’m sorry, there is no next time. It's my fault. I won't do that again. Please forgive me just once. I have only you. ‘I love you’ has to come out.’ ‘My relationship, which I believed was more solid and perfect than anyone else’s, has ended. Gem lines such as 'I am at my worst with only the loyalty to pat me on the back when I vomit' met Yoo In-na and made viewers immerse themselves in Bora's emotions.
