Seo Su-min, an actress born in 2007 at the age of 19, is capturing viewers' attention with her delicate emotional acting in 'Kim Bu-jang'.

In the seventh episode of SBS's Friday-Saturday drama 'Kim Bu-jang' (script by Nam Dae-jung / directed by Lee Seung-young and Lee So-eun), which aired on the afternoon of the 17th, Kim Min-ji (played by Seo Su-min) reunites with her father, Kim Bu-jang (played by So Ji-sub), who came to rescue her, only to face another separation.

Min-ji was deeply shocked upon encountering a side of her father that was completely different from the ordinary man she had known. Her expression, watching her father calmly take control even in front of armed forces, showed a complex mix of embarrassment, surprise, and joy. Seo Su-min conveyed Min-ji's turmoil as she struggled to accept her unfamiliar father through trembling eyes and cautious breathing.

After escaping the crisis, long-suppressed emotions erupted. Upon finding her father covered in wounds, Min-ji worried more about his condition than her own pain. Hugging her father who apologized for not rescuing her sooner, she sobbed, "I'm sorry. I'm sorry for making you worry." Seo Su-min poignantly completed the reunion between father and daughter by pouring out a flood of relief after long terror and guilt toward her father all at once.

In the scene where she faced Joo Kang-chan (played by Ju Sang-wook) again, Min-ji's growth was particularly evident. After telling her angry father, "Don't do it," she firmly told Joo Kang-chan, who knelt before her, "Turn yourself in. Both you and Hyeri." Her attitude of demanding responsibility rather than revenge even in the face of someone who drove her to death revealed Min-ji's solid inner strength.

The birthday scene at the end of the broadcast reached the peak of emotional intensity that day. Although Min-ji felt guilty that her father was being detained because of her rescue, she reassured him instead by saying, "Come back. I'll wait," and "You can come back, Dad. You're not just any other person's dad; you're my dad." Her confession that she could endure even while trapped in the freezer by thinking of her father clearly showed the relationship between father and daughter who were each other's reason to live.

The scene where Min-ji finally broke down in tears after checking the birthday gift and card left behind by her father also left a deep impression. While she tried to appear strong in front of her father, Seo Su-min expressed through restrained acting the emotions that crumbled only when she was left alone. Her face, which had been smiling, instantly turned to crying, and her clutching the card while calling out for her father poignantly completed the separation between father and daughter.

Seo Su-min stably handled a variety of emotional changes on this day, ranging from fear and confusion to relief, guilt, determination, and sadness. Rather than using exaggerated expressions, she meticulously built up Min-ji's inner world by utilizing changes in her eyes, facial expressions, and breathing. Especially with the focus that belied her first drama challenge, she announced the birth of a terrifying monster rookie.

'Kim Bu-jang' airs every Friday and Saturday at 9:50 p.m.
