'Yumi's Cells Season 3' actor Kim Jae-won has shaken up Kim Go-eun's cell village.

In TVING Original 'Yumi's Cells Season 3' (script by Song Jae-jeong and Kim Kyung-ran, directed by Lee Sang-yeop), Kim Jae-won plays the role of Shin Soon-rok, delivering delicate acting and an excellent interpretation of the character that brings a pleasant thrill. Even within his straightforward acting that does not overtly display emotions, he portrays a distinct romance that subtly shifts the temperature of relationships, thereby heightening the drama's immersion.

The charm of Shin Soon-rok lies in the stark 'ONF (ON&OFF)' temperature difference between his workplace and home. Outside the home, he is a reason-driven character who strictly excludes emotions and moves efficiently, maintaining a certain distance from others and drawing a clear line, embodying the archetype of a 'man with an impenetrable wall.'

Conversely, once inside the home after closing the front door, Soon-rok shows a completely different face. His relaxed gaze and harmless demeanor, which enjoy the small moments of daily life, contrast sharply with his coldness outside, stimulating viewers' protective instincts. Kim Jae-won smoothly bridges this gap, completing a 'grounded character' that feels as though it could exist somewhere in reality, going beyond a simple webtoon setting.

Furthermore, Kim Jae-won's visuals are a key element that completes the persuasiveness of the Shin Soon-rok character. His neat and calm impression, combined with a styling free of unnecessary elements and his unique air of indifference, has elicited reactions that he is Shin Soon-rok himself.

Kim Jae-won chose a gradual approach to complete Shin Soon-rok's straightforward thrill. In the drama, Soon-rok consistently displays a refined attitude, offering business-like responses and concise messages without unnecessary words or exaggerated reactions. Yet, it is precisely this demeanor that naturally seeps into Yumi's (played by Kim Go-eun) daily life, creating a sense of excitement.

Awkward silences in the elevator or the emoticon sent in response to a birthday greeting message from Yumi are extremely ordinary actions for Soon-rok, yet they come across as a peculiar thrill for Yumi. Shin Soon-rok's emotional arc, which is not expressed excessively but allows for deeper interpretation, brings subtle pleasure to viewers and enhances the character's charm. In this way, Kim Jae-won completes the character of Shin Soon-rok with his own distinctive, straightforward rhythm, infusing the drama with deep immersion.

Meanwhile, 'Yumi's Cells Season 3' is exclusively released on TVING twice every Monday at 6 p.m. and airs on tvN every Monday and Tuesday at 8:50 p.m.
