Actor Nam Joo-hyuk made a perfect comeback with "Donggung."

On the 17th, the Netflix series "Donggung" was released worldwide for the first time. "Donggung" is a work that follows Gu-cheon (played by Nam Joo-hyuk), who can move between the world of ghosts and humans, and palace maid Saenggang (played by Noh Yun-seo), who holds a secret, as they track down the truth behind the curse in Donggung upon the king's order. Upon its release, it immediately topped Netflix's Today's Top 10 Series in South Korea at No. 1.

Returning with "Donggung," Nam Joo-hyuk transformed into Gu-cheon, a character who has lived apart from the world but is drawn to chase the curse surrounding Donggung due to the king's command, leading the narrative from the center of the drama.

Gu-cheon is a character who lives an exceptionally lonely life while moving between the world of ghosts and the human world. Nam Joo-hyuk brought this character to life in a more three-dimensional way, portraying his carefree and free-spirited nature alongside inner wounds that are rarely revealed.

Nam Joo-hyuk connected relationships among characters through meticulous buildup of emotions in each moment and passionate performances rendered with fine detail, while also showing a new side by facing off against the king with fierce eyes.

"Donggung" is a work that showcases Nam Joo-hyuk's expanded acting range. For the first time during his military service, he read the script and was strongly drawn to the character of Gu-cheon, deciding to join the project. Before filming began, he ingrained the character into his body through repeated training at an action school. Additionally, he carefully constructed the complex psychology of a person who moves between the world of ghosts and humans to fully realize the character.

Nam Joo-hyuk has consistently broadened his acting spectrum by adding his unique touch to each project. From youth dramas to heavy realistic series and high-intensity action genres, he has handled a wide variety of characters. Through this "Donggung," he challenged a new genre blending fantasy and mystery, further expanding the boundaries of his acting once again.
