JANG IN SUB
The actor JANG IN SUB transmitted his sincere thanks to the viewers through a handwritten letter on the occasion of the end of “Between steps”.
In the Monday-Tuesday ENA drama “Between steps” (directed by An Pan-seok, written by Min Hyo-jung) which ended on the 10th, JANG IN SUB played the role of Lee Jihoon, the youngest professor in the mathematics department of Seohan University. He brought vitality to the work by depicting a wide range of attitudes, going from the aspect of a cold and rational professor to human characteristics revealing themselves in front of love.
In the midst of this, JANG IN SUB unveiled a handwritten letter written by his own hand via his SNS, transmitting his special affection for the work and his gratitude toward the viewers.
JANG IN SUB shared his impressions after completing the work by stating:
“Hello! This is Jang In Sub who played professor Lee Jihoon in “Between steps”. For me, “Between steps” was a work that personally had a lot of meaning. And I sincerely thank you for having loved “Between steps” and “Lee Jihoon”.”
He then added: “Not forgetting the interest and love you have shown me, I will return to you in the future with good acting. Thank you,” transmitting warm greetings as well as his determination for his future activities.
In this work, JANG IN SUB convincingly depicted the charm of Lee Jihoon, both cold and warm, indifferent and deep. Although he is a professor in the mathematics department equipped with excellent skills and cold judgment, he left a deep impression on viewers through his warm side, different from his external appearance, notably by spotting very early the talent of Lim Yu Jin (played by Kim So Hyun) and extending a hand to her in moments of crisis. In particular, his bickerings with Yu Jin while being nicknamed “The Sorting Hat” in the work added small laughs by bringing out the mischievous charm inherent to the character.
In the latter part of the work, he presented another charm by revealing the feelings he had kept for a long time toward Yu Jin. Jihoon, who silently observed the relationship between Park Min Jae (played by Choo Young Woo) and Yu Jin, gradually became honest with his own emotions, adding a new tension to the romance of the drama. Subsequently, his appearance respecting Yu Jin’s heart and offering her sincere comfort added depth to the character of Lee Jihoon.
Thus, JANG IN SUB brought out a joyful charm thanks to a speech delivery mischievous inherent to him and relaxed expressions through “Between steps”, while meticulously capturing the inside of the character thanks to a gaze becoming serious only in front of love and a restrained expression of emotions. He elevated the quality of the character by unfolding Lee Jihoon’s varied emotional palette through a natural and unexaggerated acting.
Above all, JANG IN SUB pursued a special relationship by teaming up for the third time with director An Pan-seok, after “The midnight romance in Hagwon” on tvN and “The Art of negotiation” on JTBC up to “Between steps”. Having interpreted different characters with his own color in each work, he imprinted once again his presence as an actor by showing this time again a stable interpretation capacity and a vast ability to embody characters.
Additionally, JANG IN SUB, who completed “Between steps”, currently meets viewers in the Friday-Saturday MBC drama “The perfect lie” in the role of lawyer Choi Chan Soo. Attention is focused on the performance of JANG IN SUB who actively pursues his acting career by crossing genres, from romance to psychological thriller.
