Actress Han Ji-min has once again captured the hearts of viewers in the living room with her romance performance that stimulates relatable feelings.
In the JTBC weekend drama 'Single Men and Women: Efficient Meetings', Han Ji-min plays the role of Lee Yi-young, who gives up on seeking natural encounters, known as 'natural dating', and dramatically changes her dating perspective to 'intentional dating', pursuing artificial meetings.
In the drama, Lee Yi-young is a perfect career woman at work, but she is endlessly clumsy in love, drawing attention from the very first broadcast. Her situation of missing the right age for dating due to being absorbed in work resonates deeply with single men and women in reality. Especially, the comical misunderstandings she experiences during her reunion with her college junior, Kang Do-hyun, and the moment she realizes her excitement was just a misunderstanding, showcased a sense of emptiness that reminded many of their own dating memories, earning her praise.
The scene where Lee Yi-young, engulfed in a sense of loss, sheds tears alone was a moment where Han Ji-min's unique delicate emotional acting shone. The tears that burst forth after suppressing her emotions heightened the immersion of the drama and provided viewers with a poignant emotional experience.
After tasting the failure of 'natural dating', Lee Yi-young ultimately declares her transition to 'intentional dating' and embarks on a tumultuous journey to conquer blind dates. From anxiously waiting for contact after her first blind date with Song Tae-seob to feeling flustered yet excited by the unexpected straightforward charm of her second date, Shin Ji-soo, adds to the drama's enjoyment.
Han Ji-min intricately portrays the rollercoaster of emotions of Lee Yi-young, breathing life into the character's actions. Her ability to seamlessly navigate realistic empathy and excitement proves her innate 'romantic comedy DNA' and heightens anticipation for the developments to come.
Meanwhile, the drama 'Single Men and Women: Efficient Meetings', based on the popular Naver webtoon of the same name, airs every Saturday at 10:40 PM and Sunday at 10:30 PM.
