'Sword of Aramun' Taealha, an aura that only Kim Ok-bin could achieve

Actor Kim Ok-bin ended the show by proving his wide acting spectrum.

Kim Ok-bin, who played the role of Taealha (played by Kim Ok-bin), the queen of Arthdal and the pinnacle of power in the tvN Saturday-Sunday drama 'Sword of Aramun', which ended on the 22nd, proved the power she had accumulated by going from emotions to action.

First, Kim Ok-bin, who showed a high level of synchronization with Taealha, the politician of desire, from season 1, overwhelmed the TV screen in every episode by performing perfectly synchronized acting with the character in 'Sword of Aramun'. In particular, he immediately captivated viewers by fully embodying the aspect of an ambitious person who pursues his ambitions and goals.

In addition, Kim Ok-bin's brilliant action acting added to the fun of watching. From horseback riding to swordsmanship, and other difficult movements, he perfectly performed them, providing a thrilling catharsis, and his unique charisma and aura further heightened the dramatic tension.

Above all, in the scene where a fierce battle took place to rescue the kidnapped Prince Arok and hide the identity of Tagon (played by Jang Dong-gun), the action was full of desperate and desperate emotions, which aroused admiration.

At the same time, it persuasively portrayed the amplitude of emotions and gave a heavy feeling. From Taealha, who thoroughly hid and restrained her inner self, to the moment when she experienced frustration with Tanya's (played by Shin Se-kyung) psychic abilities, to the moment when she revealed the anger and pain that had been buried alone for a long time, the drama was densely implemented to increase immersion in the play.

In addition, Kim Ok-bin's detailed and captivating expressive skills, such as diction, facial expressions, and eyes, filled out the narrative of the complex character and completed a three-dimensional character.

In this way, Kim Ok-bin held the center of the play from beginning to end and showed stable acting skills. Ho-yeon, who completely melted her own unique colors, made it impossible to imagine Taeal-ha other than Kim Ok-bin, drawing favorable reviews and once again solidifying her status as a 'real actor in name and reality.'
