Woo Do-hwan, a man who breaks your heart

In MBC's Friday-Saturday drama 'Joseon Lawyer' (directed by Kim Seung-ho and Lee Han-jun/written by Choi Jin-young/produced by People Story Company, original content), Woo Do-hwan, who plays the role of Kang Han-soo, the best foreign office in Joseon who is one step closer to true revenge by showing internal changes, is delicate and charming. He shows variations in detailed emotions and is receiving favorable reviews, saying, ‘It’s Woo Do-hwan after all.’
Kang Han-soo, who at the beginning of the play was a sly and extremely light-hearted outsider who would not work unless money came in, is changing towards the latter part of the drama into an outsider who uses the law for true righteousness. Attention is drawn to the deep passionate performance of Woo Do-hwan, who plays him. This is being concentrated.
In the 14th episode, Woo Do-hwan's outstanding performance reached its peak. She showed heartbreaking tears as she faced her younger sister Eun-soo (played by Han So-eun), who had been hiding her identity, in prison. Faced with the completely unexpected reality of his younger brother, Hansoo cried out and vowed to rescue him at all costs, leaving viewers heartbroken.
Finally, on the day Eun-soo's trial was held in the palace, Han-soo, who personally read the verdict handed down by Lee Hul (played by Song Geon-hee), collapsed as the situation he feared the most became a reality. Woo Do-hwan's complex emotions, including guilt and regret for not being able to protect his younger brother, and anger toward Yoo Je-se (played by Cheon Ho-jin), who created this result, are portrayed by Woo Do-hwan, with the subtle tremors of his body, his eyes, and his expression of extreme sadness and frustration. He showed off his emotional acting with all his might, even his voice.
In this way, Woo Do-hwan's tearful acting was enough to move the hearts of viewers. It must have been difficult to condense and express the various emotions a character could feel at once. However, he became Kang Han-soo himself and increased immersion through his detailed emotional acting, including his longing for his family and his passionate desire for revenge.
MBC's Friday-Saturday drama 'The Joseon Lawyer', in which Woo Do-hwan delivers an intensely emotional performance, airs every Friday and Saturday at 9:50 p.m.
