Actor Kang Woo-sung left a brief but intense impression in '100 Days of Lies.'

Kang Woo-sung, who appeared as a mysterious cake delivery man in Episode 1 of the tvN weekend drama '100 Days of Lies,' broadcast on October 10, injecting tension into the story, made his exit at the end of Episode 7, which aired on October 31, demonstrating a weighty presence until the very last moment.

Geum Seok-joong, the character played by Kang Woo-sung, is the husband of Yoo So-ran (played by Kim Hyun-joo) and a man who lost his only daughter, Geum Seo-hee, to Sato Shinichi (played by Jin Sun-kyu). After losing his daughter, he lived apart from his wife for 13 years. He reunites with Yoo So-ran at the location where he had infiltrated to assassinate Sato Shinichi after a long time had passed. In that moment when longing accumulated over many years and complex emotions intersected, Kang Woo-sung depicted Geum Seok-joong's inner world through subtle gazes and restrained emotional acting, rather than exaggerated expressions.

In particular, the short line, "Buy a castella on your way home," conveyed his affectionate feelings for So-ran, completing the long narrative between the two with even more poignant sorrow.

Geum Seok-joong's exit left an even deeper lingering impression. Kang Woo-sung unfolded the life of a character who had to endure sacrifice and loss amid the pain of the era through his characteristic deep expressiveness. Rather than revealing passionate emotions, he conveyed the character's life as it was through calm and restrained acting, adding weight to the drama.

Kang Woo-sung, who debuted as an MBC 20th public recruitment talent in 1991, has built his own acting world by moving between dramas and films. He left a strong impression as Lieutenant Choi Tae-in in the film 'Al Point' and rose to the ranks of actors with tens of millions of viewers by perfectly portraying the role of the clown Jang Saeng in 'The King and the Clown.'

In particular, Kang Woo-sung is a "melodrama master" who has been loved for his subtle emotional expression and deep melodrama acting. He demonstrated an unparalleled presence by densely depicting the emotional lines of characters in various works such as the dramas 'Age of Love,' 'Spring Waltz,' 'Kiss First?,' and 'The Wind Blows.'

In this '100 Days of Lies' as well, Kang Woo-sung demonstrated his own acting depth in every scene he appeared in, adding depth to the character's narrative. Without flashy scenes or long lines, he left a deep lingering impression with just his gaze, expressions, and a single short word.

His agency, NeoS Entertainment, stated, "Please show much interest and support for Kang Woo-sung's new appearances in the future."
