Lee Young-ae's husband was fired from his university professorship... Mother-in-law threatened with rare disease

‘Maestra’ Kim Young-jae turned black.

While tvN's Saturday-Sunday drama 'Maestra' has captivated viewers with unexpected developments in each episode, attention is also focused on Kim Young-jae's performance, which makes the story more interesting. He plays the role of Kim Pil, the composer and husband of Cha Se-eum (played by Lee Young-ae), and is attempting a unique transformation that has never been seen before.

In particular, Kim Young-jae showed off a new face in episodes 5 and 6 of 'Maestra', showing off his presence as a leading role that not only provides high-density tension but also intense immersion in the drama. This is because Kim Pil (played by Kim Young-jae) aimed the blade at Cha Se-eum (played by Lee Young-ae).

Feel Kim made every effort to change Cha Se-eum's mind when she asked for a divorce, without showing any sincerity. In order to improve their relationship, he suggested that they appear together in a documentary, and did his best by inviting his father-in-law Cha Ki-baek (played by Jeong Dong-hwan) and spending quality time with him.

Despite this, Cha Se-eum did not even move. Furthermore, his anger boiled over toward his wife, who had dismissed him from his professorship at the university he was working at. The sight of Phil Kim, who erased his friendly smile and turned 180 degrees, made viewers' hearts flutter and made them look forward to the unpredictable next story.

Afterwards, Phil Kim's rampage brought the play to its climax. Not only did he put pressure on Cha Se-eum by directly mentioning his weakness, Lamington's disease, but he also intentionally brought his mother-in-law Bae Jeong-hwa (played by Ye Soo-jeong) to the orchestra practice room. This revealed the shameless true intentions hidden behind the good smile, filling the living room with shock.

However, soon Cha Se-eum revealed that her mother-in-law's battle with Lamington's disease, which was thought to be at the hands of Pil Kim, shocked everyone. In this situation, curiosity is growing about what will happen to Phil Kim in the future.

Youngjae Kim is unfolding the character's changes in a three-dimensional way. His passionate performance, depicting in detail the blackening process of Pil Kim, which changes depending on the situation the character is in and the emotions he is feeling, injected intensity into the play. Kim Young-jae is showing off another highlight of the drama with his ever-changing acting skills. With his dignified presence shining brighter than ever, attention is focused on his continued performance in future episodes.

Meanwhile, tvN's 'Maestra' starring Kim Young-jae airs every Saturday and Sunday night at 9:20 PM.
