Chae Jong-hyeop returns with improved acting skills and visuals.
On the 30th, KBS 2TV’s new Wednesday-Thursday drama ‘The speed to you 493km (hereafter, your acceleration)’ released the stills of Chae Jong-hyeop. ‘Accelerate You’ is a hot sports romance between a fresh twenty-five, sports-oriented Park Tae-Yeon (Park Joo-Hyun) and an athletic professional Park Tae-Jun (Chae Jong-Hyeop) in a badminton business team.
One of the reasons ‘Accelerated You’ is attracting attention is thanks to the genre of sports romance. Because two representative genres that make people’s hearts race, sports and romance meet. Among them, romance is a genre that female viewers like, and the charm of the male protagonist is considered more important than anything else. Accordingly, a lot of attention is being paid to the male protagonist, Chae Jong-hyeop.
Chae Jong-hyeop is a model-turned-actress. He made his debut in the drama ‘Stove League’ in 2019, and left a strong impression with his warm appearance and un-rookie acting skills. Then, he built a solid filmography by appearing in dramas ‘Sisyphus: the myth’ and ‘I know,’ etc. He successfully completed his first lead role with ‘Come to the Witch’s Restaurant’ last year, and this time he is ready to meet viewers as a male lead in a romance drama.
In the drama, Chae Jong-hyeop plays Park Tae-joon, who only considers sports as a profession. Park Tae-jun is a player who plays badminton only for his salary because he belongs to a business team, and he no longer has the desire or passion to play badminton well. However, when he meets Park Tae-yang (Park Joo-hyun), who is all about her sports, his attitude toward badminton changes little by little.
In this way, his straight line, which changes his view of life and work for only one woman, is expected to be as intense as a shuttlecock crossing the badminton court. This is also connected with the title of the drama, which means that I will go to you as fast as the unofficial smashing world record of ‘493 km/h’. It is said that Chae Jong-hyeop is drawing more detail on Park Tae-joon’s straight line through thorough script analysis. Accordingly, expectations are high for his performance that will make the hearts of viewers as well as Park Taeyang’s heart flutter.
In addition, the visuals of Chae Jong-hyeop that stand out for each content released add excitement. It is a reaction that Chae Jong-hyeop, who shines even more in a badminton uniform, is already successfully sniping women’s hearts with his warm physical and bright smile.
In this regard, the production team of ‘Accelerated You’ said, “Chae Jong-hyeop, who has a bright smile and positive energy, is an actor that fits the word youth. Please look forward to the main broadcast of ‘You Accelerate’, where you can see Chae Jong-hyeop’s improved visuals and acting skills.”
Meanwhile, ‘The Speed To You’ will be broadcast for the first time at 9:50 pm on Wednesday, April 20.
