[TF Focus] 'My Unfamiliar Family', Im Si-wan's Romantic Comedy Test

Seol In-ah and a romance collaboration... Proving charm through Yoon Yi-joon's transformationFirst broadcast on the 19th, 5 years after 'Run On'Actor Im Si-wan is returning to romance acting for the first time in a while with tvN's new Monday-Tuesday drama 'My Guilty Man,' and attention is focused on what kind of guilty charm he will show. /tvN[THE FACT|Reporter Kim Saet-byeol] Actor Im Si-wan, who has proven his acting skills across various genres, is returning to the small screen with a full-fledged romance genre after a long time. Expectations are high as to whether he, who has captivated viewers with genre dramas and strong performances, can now exude his unique guilty charm in a more cheerful romance.tvN's new Monday-Tuesday drama 'My Guilty Man' (written by Moon Soo-jung, directed by Park Dan-hee), which premieres today (19th), depicts a close-knit thriller romance between an arrogant third-generation chaebol accused of murder and a special forces detective who infiltrates as his bodyguard. Im Si-wan plays Yoon Yi-joon, a strong candidate for the successor of Taekang Group and a suspect in a murder case, and will work with Seol In-ah, who plays detective Kang Jae-hee, who infiltrates as his bodyguard disguised as a man.To the public, Im Si-wan is known as an "actor you can trust." He has shown his presence through delicate emotional expression and powerful acting in various works such as the films 'The Attorney,' 'The Merciless,' and 'Emergency Declaration,' and the dramas 'Misaeng' and 'Strangers from Hell.'Not only that. Through the Coupang Play series 'Boyhood,' he skillfully portrayed Byeong-tae, who is clumsy yet full of swagger, proving his competitiveness in comedy acting as well. His wide-ranging acting, which can digest any character from strong genre dramas to witty comedies in his own style, is Im Si-wan's greatest weapon.However, when limited to the genre of 'romantic comedy,' the story changes slightly. Im Si-wan's romance endeavors have been infrequent, and the intervals between projects have been long. After MBC's 'The King Loves,' he appeared in JTBC's 'Run On' after 3 years, and 'My Guilty Man' is a whopping 5 years later.The nature of the works also differed. 'The King Loves' was a historical drama, and while 'Run On' claimed to be a romantic comedy, it was closer to a healing romance that captured the calm and warm emotions of everyday life.Therefore, 'My Guilty Man' differentiates itself by being a full-fledged romantic comedy that adds both cheerful laughter and excitement amidst the tension of the case.tvN's new Monday-Tuesday drama 'My Guilty Man,' starring actor Im Si-wan, will premiere on the 19th. /tvNIn 'My Guilty Man,' Im Si-wan's character, Yoon Yi-joon, is handsome and capable but makes those around him tense with his sensitivity and perfectionism. After being named a prime suspect in a murder case, he undergoes unexpected changes upon meeting his new bodyguard, Kang Jae-hee.The premise of having to stay close to someone who suspects him foreshadows not only the tension between the two but also the comedy and romance that arise from unexpected situations.The key will be how convincingly Yoon Yi-joon, a perfectionist, portrays his transformation after meeting Kang Jae-hee. As a character who does not easily express his emotions, Im Si-wan's unique restrained acting can be effective in subtly building the changes in their relationship. In addition, with the addition of the witty comedy sense shown in 'Boyhood,' how he will bring out the charm of Yoon Yi-joon, who seems indifferent but straightforward, is also a point to watch.Romance is not an entirely new challenge for Im Si-wan, but rather a stage to prove his existing acting abilities in a different way. Expectations are high for the synergy that will be created when his delicate emotional portrayal and flexible expression in comedy meet the emotion of excitement.Attention is focused on how Im Si-wan, who possesses both delicate emotional lines and witty comedy, can bring excitement to viewers once again as a "guilty man" on the small screen, and how he can translate the trust built in genre dramas into the charm of romantic comedy.'My Guilty Man,' consisting of a total of 12 episodes, will premiere every Monday and Tuesday at 8:50 PM starting on the 19th.sstar1204@tf.co.kr[Entertainment Department | ssent@tf.co.kr]
