'Sacred, Divorced' Kim Sung-kyun, sniping viewers with a heartbreaking romance

In the 3rd and 4th episodes of 'Sacred Divorce', which aired on the 11th and 12th, the heartbreaking story of Jang Hyeong-geun (Kim Sung-gyun), who was separated from his wife Ji-eun (Jang So-yeon), was revealed. Ji-eun fell in love with another man, left Jang Hyeong-geun, and the two separated.
Jang Hyeong-geun, who was working in the sacred office, suddenly reported to Shin Seong (played by Jo Seung-woo) that he was leaving work and said, “I need to take a shower. When he asked, “Should I buy some clothes?” Shin Seong immediately realized who he was going to meet. Jang Hyeong-geun leaves the office in a hurry when Shin Seong, who would normally nag him, obediently tells him to go quickly. He was on his way to meet his wife Jieun.
Jang Hyeong-geun, who met Ji-eun at a cafe, tried to express his interest and affection for Ji-eun even in an awkward atmosphere. Although he tried his best to ask his wife about his current situation and even tried to transfer his health checkup services, Jieun's response was cold. In the end, Ji-eun fell in love with another man and asked for a divorce, breaking Jang Hyeong-geun's heart.
The meeting at the cafe ended like that, and later, Ji-eun told Jang Hyeong-geun through text message that she was pregnant, and once again asked for a divorce. Although he did his best to protect his wife and family, Jang Hyeong-geun's love continued to be pushed away. The sight of him shedding tears after receiving Ji-eun's text message embarrassed Shin Seong and left viewers in awe.
Above all, Kim Sung-gyun is heartbroken by his wife who coldly and firmly pushes him away, but Jang Hyeong-geun's heartbreaking love, which he calmly endures to hide his hurt feelings, adds to the tragedy and makes viewers feel sad and touched. I brought it up.
In a tragic romance where you have no choice but to wait and watch because you just love, it is not just tears crying out loud about the hurt feelings caused by your wife, but dark and lonely eyes and a voice that quietly exhales while suppressing the emotions inside, a longing that suddenly wells up, and the passage of time. Kim Sung-gyun, who expresses his situation as he faces it more clearly with a wistful expression and moisture seeping from the corners of his eyes, is said to be helping viewers become immersed in the play with his detailed emotional depiction.
Also, on the other hand, Jang Hyeong-geun, who had been drinking to the point where the film was cut off and went out for snacks and hangovers, found his favorite ramen restaurant open while walking down the street and ran in with a happy heart without looking back, making everyone laugh. Meanwhile, the 'true' chemistry between the three people, with Jo Jung-sik (played by Jeong Moon-seong) joining in, makes even the ramen shop owner So-yeon (played by Kang Mal-geum) burst into laughter, adding warmth to the play.
Moreover, when he goes camping with two friends, Jang Hyeong-geun grills meat and Shin Seong puts the meat into his mouth, and for Jo Jeong-sik who snores when he sleeps, Jang Hyeong-geun touches his posture. The friend's moment is considered an essential part of the fun in the work, adding to the joy.
Kim Sung-gyun is increasing the drama's appeal with realistic acting on a different level, and is sniping viewers with the perfect ensemble with his three friends. His acting, which shines with delicacy and detail, creates synergy with the work and adds to the fun, so expectations are rising more than ever to see what kind of acting and stories Kim Sung-gyun will unfold in the story that continues in the future.
Meanwhile, JTBC's 'Sacred, Divorce' airs every Saturday and Sunday at 10:30 PM.
