Actor Park Byung-eun reveals a unique presence with his passionate passionate singing of anger.
JTBC Saturday and Sunday drama 'Apartment' (written by Kim Yun-young, directed by Jo Yong-won, produced by SLL and Red Nine Pictures) continues its upward trend, recording the highest viewership rating of 7.1% and ranking first among non-terrestrial broadcasters and in the upper ranks of TV trending topics.
In the previously aired 4th episode, Park Byung-eun as Lee Choong-won expressed overwhelming anger when relics were discovered at the Oman New City development site, construction was suspended, and Baek Hyun-jin as Seo Gang-won lost the chairman's election to Ji-sung as Park Hae-gang. He sent a meaningful smile toward Park Hae-gang, heightening dramatic tension.
In the 5th episode to be broadcast on the 25th, Lee Choong-won puts on a black suit and grabs a karaoke microphone to passionately sing Cho Young-pil's 'Leopard of Kilimanjaro.' While singing intoxicated with his own emotions, he occasionally exudes an eerie venom that overwhelms the atmosphere. He then visits the new city construction site where relics were excavated and questions the staff in charge with sharp eyes.
The relic commotion that halted the Oman New City development project is actually a fake show meticulously planned by Park Hae-gang for his chairmanship election. Attention is focused on whether Lee Choong-won, who doesn't yet know these facts, will discover the truth and what counterattack he will launch against Park Hae-gang, his thorn in the eye. At the filming site as well, Park Byung-eun sang from narration to climax in a quiet chairman's office, elaborately unfolding his restrained madness in detail, drawing admiration from the staff.
The production team said that in episode 5, the persistence and threatening true nature of Lee Choong-won, cornered on the edge of a cliff, will be revealed more intensely. They also noted that Park Byung-eun's unique aura and witty detailed acting completed the character's cool anger three-dimensionally, and asked viewers to anticipate the repercussions that the head-to-head confrontation with Park Hae-gang over 17.8 billion won will bring.
JTBC Saturday and Sunday drama 'Apartment' episode 5 airs on Saturday, July 25th at 10:40 PM.
