Nam Ji Hyun, the Expert of ‘Living Together’ Romance
Through’What Happens to My Family’, ‘Shopping King Louie’, to ‘Suspicious Partner’, Nam Ji Hyun proves her ability as an actress who can make the audience fall in love with her relationship with her male leads.
If you pay attention, the three dramas that Nam Ji Hyun once starred in have one thing in common: The ‘Living Together’ romance, in which Nam Ji Hyun’s character always stays one house with her male lead. Therefore, it’s only fitting that the actress is crowned as the expert of ‘Living Together’ romance.
‘What Happens to My Family?’
In this drama, Nam Ji-hyun, who played as Kang Seo Wool, appeared with a dark tanned face, simple makeup, and retro costumes. Kang Seo Wool also has a thick Chungcheong dialect. She went to visit Cha Dal Bong (Park Hyung Sik), a boy who saved his life 12 years before, and lived in Dal Bong’s house, the place where they started their romance.
At first, this story was a one-sided love story. But as the ‘Living Together’ romance went on, their love changed. Cha Dal Bong and Yun Eun Ho (Seo Kang Joon), who initially hated Seo Wool, started ‘Kang Seo Wool’ fever and formed a tense love triangle.
‘Shopping King Louie’
In ‘Shopping King Louie’, Nam Ji Hyun played the role of Ko Bok Sil. For the sake of this drama, she had to appear a bit old-fashioned and less beautiful.
Ko Bok Sil met the heir of a gold company, Louis (Seo In Gook), who lost his memory. She could not turn away from Louis, who was wearing the clothes of his lost brother, and began to live with him. With a warm, affectionate heart, she took care of Louis and aroused the love between the two. In addition to Louie, the audience also fell in love with Nam Ji Hyun’s character.
‘Suspicious Partner’
Nam Ji Hyun’s character in ‘Suspicious Partner’, Eun Bong Hee, is a character that is highly different from her previous roles.
But ‘Suspicious Partner’ also of course presented the ‘Living Together’ romance. Eun Bong Hee, who has no home, is assisted by Noh Ji Wook (Ji Chang Wook). At one time, as Eun Bong Hee looked at sleeping Noh Ji Wook, she smiled, showing her love for the lawyer. The more time that Bong Hee spent with Ji Wook, the more she fell in love with him.
