Actor Jung Joon-won concluded the narrative of 'Kwon Tae-sung' in MBC's drama 'Husband Killer' by protecting his family with unwavering love despite his wife's secrets.

Through MBC's Friday-Saturday drama 'Husband Killer' (directed by Yoon Jong-ho and Kim Ji-hun, written by Kim Eun-hee, produced by Bon Factory, Barum Pictures, Studio Pim), Jung Joon-won vividly portrayed the dramatic story of Kwon Tae-sung, a devoted family man, a persistent reporter investigating Kingfisher, and a serious husband embracing his wife's secrets. In the final episode, after facing all the truths, he completed a harmless and warm ending befitting Kwon Tae-sung with an unchanging choice to protect his beloved wife, leaving a lingering warmth until the very end.

In that day's broadcast, Tae-sung briefly experienced shock upon witnessing the confrontation between Bona (played by Gong Hyo-jin) and Leila (played by Ileya), both in Kingfisher's guise, then carried an injured Bona on his back to escape the scene while evading the police. With help from the Business Team 3, Bona rushed to a hospital, where Tae-sung held her painful hand, revealing fear and heart-wrenching sorrow that moved viewers' hearts. After regaining consciousness, Bona conveyed to Tae-sung, who had shouldered everything alone despite knowing her true identity, that they could no longer return to how things were before, then departed. Thereafter, even amidst deep loss, Tae-sung continued his daily life quietly while waiting for Bona alongside his daughter Yul (played by Hwang Bom-i), and as a reporter fulfilling his duty, he also uncovered the criminal facts of Kingfisher's final victims, clearing Kingfisher's false accusation of shooting innocent citizens.

Later, on a day when snow began to fall, Tae-sung recalled stories from those around him that Bona had left to find her own 'pretty scenery,' and headed to the mountain lodge where their memories were embedded. There, he finally met Bona and conveyed his sincere desire to slowly get to know her time, wounds, and countless aspects that he had not known before. Confirming each other's strengthened hearts, the two began anew in the first snow, regaining a normal daily life with Tae-sung, Bona, and their daughter Yul-i. Throughout numerous crises, Kwon Tae-sung, who chose his family until the end, found true happiness, leaving a warm breeze in viewers' hearts as the story concluded.

Jung Joon-won delicately depicted Kwon Tae-sung's journey as the 'harmless healing character' of 'Husband Killer' to the very end, placing emphasis on the character's narrative. As an ideal family man and a tenacious investigative reporter, Jung Joon-won not only showcased his characteristic gentle smile and life-oriented acting when portraying Tae-sung as a husband but also established Kwon Tae-sung's distinct color through sharp eyesight and weighty tone control when playing the role of a reporter, leaving a deep impression. In the latter half of the drama, even after learning that Kingfisher, whom Tae-sung was pursuing, was his wife, he struggled to protect his family, leading the drama's flow solely with Jung Joon-won's characteristic deep gaze and fully fulfilling his central role. As Kwon Tae-sung is a character where Jung Joon-won's three-dimensional acting switch stood out, he demonstrated balanced expressive power that did not lean toward either instinct or emotion at every moment of conflict, proving himself to be an actor with a diverse spectrum.

On the occasion of the drama's conclusion, Jung Joon-won said, "It was a precious time where I could learn a lot by being able to join 'Husband Killer' as Kwon Tae-sung in such a meaningful and excellent work for me. Thanks to viewers who laughed, empathized, and sent their support until the very end, we were able to safely complete this long journey. I sincerely thank everyone who watched 'Husband Killer' and Kwon Tae-sung until the end." Through this work, Jung Joon-won, who broadly portrayed everything from romantic and warm aspects to a charismatic reporter's image and heavy yet poignant emotional performances, is gathering expectations for what new face he will present to viewers in the future.
