'Namgoong Min, Kim Dae-myung, Lee Seol, Lee Sang-hee... and special appearance by Park Byung-eun'
KBS 2TV's new Saturday-Sunday mini-series 'The Completion of Marriage' revealed its first script reading session with a cast of accomplished actors, heightening expectations for the drama.
Airing for the first time on Saturday, July 4 at 9:20 p.m. on KBS 2TV, 'The Completion of Marriage' (directed by Kim Jung-hyun and Kim Min-tae, written by Jung Jae-ha, produced by Red Nine Pictures and KBS Media) is a dangerous crime thriller about a man who engages in an extreme battle with a remorseless criminal to rescue his wife, who was kidnapped just before their divorce.
Director Kim Jung-hyun, who directed 'The Completion of Marriage,' stated, "It is meaningful to return to my home station, KBS, and work on a drama after a long time." The actors displayed intense acting passion from their first meeting, delivering performances that resembled actual filming.
According to the production team, Namgoong Min attempted a dramatic transformation in his acting, changing not only his gaze but also his tone, intonation, and breathing to portray Kang Tae-ju, who engages in a fierce battle with kidnappers to save his abducted wife. It is reported that Namgoong Min captivated the set with his meticulous control of pacing, portraying the complex emotions of a pursuer chasing the kidnapper and the anxious psychology of worrying about his wife's safety.
Kim Dae-myung plays the villain Norman-hee, who kidnaps Ko Se-yoon, Kang Tae-ju's wife. Kim Dae-myung skillfully portrayed a fickle character who is warm and affectionate toward the students at the computer academy he teaches but cold toward the kidnapped Ko Se-yoon.
Lee Seol plays Ko Se-yoon, who is kidnapped by Norman-hee while in conflict with her husband, Kang Tae-ju, over their divorce. Lee Seol depicted the multifaceted nature of Ko Se-yoon, from her anguish between resentment and affection for her husband to her state of being consumed by extreme fear after the kidnapping.
Lee Sang-hee plays Kim Kyung-ae, who suddenly appears before Ko Se-yoon in her dire situation. The production team reported that Lee Sang-hee skillfully conveyed a subtle sense of incongruity with her delicate acting, drawing exclamations of admiration from the set.
Special appearance by Park Byung-eun as former violent crimes detective Lee Su-hyeong, who runs a detective agency, earned the production team's evaluation that he maximized dramatic immersion. Park Byung-eun demonstrated his acting prowess with persistence in chasing the case and a sharp, chilling intensity.
The production team stated, "In the script reading that marks the first step of 'The Completion of Marriage,' all the cast members united with solid acting chemistry, enriching the set. Please watch 'The Completion of Marriage,' which will announce the birth of a 'K-genre' work and heat up the living room theater."
