Choo Young-woo Transforms into Bae Gyeon-woo in New Drama 'Gyeonwoo and Seonnyeo'

Actor Choo Young-woo has perfectly transformed into Bae Gyeon-woo.

Choo Young-woo took on the role of 'Bae Gyeon-woo,' a character destined for misfortune, in the tvN Monday-Tuesday drama 'Gyeonwoo and Seonnyeo' (directed by Kim Yong-wan, written by Yang Ji-hoon, planned by CJ ENM, produced by Studio Dragon, Dexter Pictures, and IO Contents Group), which premiered on the 23rd.

Bae Gyeon-woo made a striking first appearance by entering Park Seong-ah's (played by Jo Yi-hyun) temple upside down. His dazzling visuals captivated not only Seong-ah but also his classmates.

Born under a bad sign, Gyeon-woo was prickly towards everyone. He couldn't trust Seong-ah's offer to save his life. Gyeon-woo cynically remarked, "Misfortune is contagious," adding, "If you believe, you lose money and become unhappy. If you don't believe, you're just unhappy." He also drew a firm line with Seong-ah, who intruded into his boundaries, saying, "It's not kindness; it's stupidity."

However, Gyeon-woo occasionally showed a gentle side. He quietly held the hand of grandmother Ok-soon (played by Gil Hae-yeon) who visited the temple and protected Seong-ah from being teased by classmates. Despite his cold demeanor and words, a warm and tender side coexisted within him.

Choo Young-woo has made a significant impact with his transformation into Bae Gyeon-woo, showcasing his acting prowess honed through continuous work. He expressed Gyeon-woo's complex narrative with restrained yet expressive eyes.

Meanwhile, the tvN Monday-Tuesday drama 'Gyeonwoo and Seonnyeo' airs every Monday and Tuesday at 8:50 PM.
