Actor Jo In-sung and Han Hyo-joo's marital chemistry moved from dramas to entertainment. Viewers are watching with fun and interest as their ‘couple worldview’ expands.

Jo In-seong and Han Hyo-joo played the roles of Kim Doo-sik and Lee Mi-hyeon, respectively, in the Disney+ series 'Moving'. Appearing as a married couple, they were loved by viewers by showing off their beautiful and fantastic love story, followed by the appearance of a real-life couple who got married and gave birth to a son, Kim Bong-seok (Lee Jeong-ha).

The setting of Jo In-seong and Han Hyo-joo as a couple was a character relationship that added to the fun of 'Moving'. The charm of the characters Kim Doo-sik, who has the ability to fly, and Lee Mi-hyeon, who has excellent five senses, was high, and the two handsome men and women matched well visually. The setting of being separated for a long time by external forces even evoked a feeling of sadness. The fact that the family reunion of Doo-sik, Mi-hyeon, and Bong-seok in the final rooftop scene marked the ending, implies that these couples and their families were the central axis of 'Moving'.

Jo In-seong and Han Hyo-joo, who were a well-matched and attractive couple in 'Moving', but left regrets as they spent time apart during the drama, reunited through the tvN entertainment program 'How the Boss 3'. 'Somehow I'm a President 3' features Jo In-seong and Cha Tae-hyun as the president and hires part-timers, and Han Hyo-joo is the first part-timer to appear, increasing initial attention and viewership ratings.

The chemistry between Jo In-sung and Han Hyo-joo is the main highlight of 'Somehow the Boss 3', which has the concept of running a Korean supermarket as well as a kimbap and snack corner. Since this filming took place at the same time as the release of 'Moving', Jo In-seong and Han Hyo-joo's worldview as a couple seems to be naturally melting into the entertainment show. I don't know if this effect is due to the intention of 'Sometimes I'm the President 3', but the world view of the couple from 'Moving' creates a strong synergy and is attracting the attention of viewers.

From Jo In-seong receiving Han Hyo-joo's bag on her way to work in a half-asleep state to Han Hyo-joo capturing Jo In-seong's appearance on camera, meaning was given. In particular, when Han Hyo-joo saw Jo In-sung eating the food she used to eat and said, "That's what I used to eat," Jo In-seong responded indifferently by saying, "We're a couple, so what?", which was a hot topic among viewers.

In addition, Jo In-seong is very worried and rushes to treat Han Hyo-joo when she cuts her hand while preparing a meal, and Han Hyo-joo calls Jo In-seong "my husband" to children visiting the supermarket, giving viewers special enjoyment.

To some extent, this is in line with the secret to the popularity of PD Na Young-seok's entertainment show, which has consistently been loved by many viewers. Producer Na Young-seok is famous for giving the most importance to the relationships between real-life friendly characters when planning entertainment programs. The point is to apply intimacy in reality to entertainment to create detailed synergy and comfortable fun. Also, if we have developed a close relationship while working together on a project, we may borrow that character and create an interesting situation.

One entertainment producer said, "Isn't there a real charm that comes out when you're with close friends or at a close gathering? Also, I think the comfortable appearance and chemistry that comes out when they're together is something that viewers can sympathize with and appeal to." He added, "It is more attractive if there is a world view of the characters in the work. Unique situations and settings are created by crossing between work, entertainment, and reality, creating a rich synergy."

Following 'Moving', Jo In-seong and Han Hyo-joo expanded their worldview as a couple through 'Somehow I'm the Boss 3', which is a little more in touch with reality. As their chemistry in entertainment shows, which continued from the drama, becomes more solid and dense, viewers' watching points are becoming more abundant.
