Kim Go-eun, Park Bo-young, now Kim You-jung: GOT7's Jinyoung becomes K-drama's 'chemistry king'

Kim Go-eun marked the beginning of GOT7's Jinyoung's ascent to becoming one of K-drama's most sought-after romantic leads. Park Bo-young followed suit, adding to Jinyoung's growing reputation. Now, Kim You-jung has continued this trend, further solidifying Jinyoung's status as a chemistry king in the world of Korean dramas.

Jinyoung is currently stealing the hearts of viewers with his portrayal of Sato Hideo in tvN's weekend drama, 100 Days of Deception. Hideo is an elite interpreter for the Japanese colonial government, grapples with his Korean roots while living as a Japanese man. He struggles with a deep inner conflict, yearning for his adoptive father's approval, played by Jin Sun-kyu, without revealing his true emotions.

Jinyoung masterfully conveys Hideo's cold exterior and concealed emotions through subtle facial expressions and changes in his gaze. However, when he interacts with Lee Ga-gyeong, played by Kim You-jung, glimpses of tenderness and romantic tension emerge from his seemingly indifferent demeanor. In a poignant scene, Hideo notices bruising on Ga-gyeong's wrist and quietly brings her ointment, symbolizing the budding romantic bond between the two characters.
