Hwang In-youp has fully transformed into the quintessential first love man, exuding ‘oppa charm.’
In JTBC’s new Wednesday drama Family By Choice, Hwang In-youp captivates viewers with his engaging performance as Kim San-ha.
In the drama, Kim San-ha is a model student with a neat appearance and excellent grades, but he carries a deep-seated pain from a childhood experience. He enriches the story by taking on the role of guardian to Yoon Joo-won (Jung Chae-yeon) and Kang Hae-joon (Bae Hyeon-seong), who grew up like siblings despite not being related by blood. Hwang In-youp enhances the character’s charm with his expressive eyes and voice, drawing the audience deeper into the narrative.
Additionally, Hwang In-youp’s chemistry with his on-screen family, Jung Chae-yeon and Bae Hyun-sung, piques viewers’ interest. The dynamic between the three characters—who bicker endlessly yet form a strong bond—is a key aspect of the drama that captures the excitement of youth. However, he sets boundaries with Joo-won, who emphasizes their non-biological ties by stating, “We’re not family.” He ties Joo-won’s necktie before school and supports her during school commotions, making hearts flutter with his affectionate portrayal of an older brother and first love, and raising anticipation for the romance to come.
Through this transformation, Hwang In-youp captivates audiences, showcasing his storytelling skills and emotional depth. He has successfully met the high expectations for the ‘Hwang In-youp-style youth drama’ that garnered attention even before the premiere, deepening viewer immersion and heightening anticipation for his future projects.
Family By Choice, which unfolds the refreshing experiences of three youths whose bonds are thicker than blood, airs twice every Wednesday at 8:50 PM.
