Dec 03, 2021

Kim Kyung Nam is ready to touch hearts with his new role in upcoming JTBC drama “The One and Only”!

“The One and Only” is an emotional romance drama about three terminally ill women who meet at a hospice. They decide that before they die, they want to take down one bad guy before they go – but in their attempt to take down just one person, they wind up meeting the most valuable person of their lives.

Kim Kyung Nam stars as Min Woo Chun, a mysterious hitman who has walked a painful and difficult path in life. He starts to change after meeting Pyo In Sook (Ahn Eun Jin), a stubborn and insensitive woman who is diagnosed with a terminal illness.

The actor described his character Min Woo Chun, saying, “He is an insensitive person with an empty life who loses his reason to live one day. He seems like someone who is extremely wary of people and is numb to emotions, but once he starts opening his heart, he approaches them with a pure heart. He is clumsy but honest, and although he isn’t expressive, he’s warmhearted.”

Kim Kyung Nam shared the lengths he went to in order to effectively portray his character. He commented, “At first glance, Min Woo Chun seems to be expressionless, but through my eyes and expressions, I wish that [I subtly conveyed] his sadness, pain, hope, and love from within.” He purposely tried a hairstyle that covered his forehead that would portray Min Woo Chun’s detached life. The actor added, “I wanted to create an image [that showed he’s] like a wounded and abandoned animal that grew up unloved.”

Kim Kyung Nam mentioned Min Woo Chun’s romance with Pyo In Sook, saying, “Min Woo Chun and Pyo In Sook, who have nothing more to lose in their desperate lives, will become each other’s light and rope.”

Lastly, the actor remarked, “I hope that people can heal their hurt, lonely, and bitter hearts through the character Min Woo Chun.”
