Actor Namkoong Min is expressing strong confidence in his upcoming KBS 2TV drama, "Marriage, Complete." Speaking at the production presentation on July 1st in Seoul, he shared his motivation for choosing this project.
"After my last film, 'Our Movie,' which was a good work but perhaps didn't entertain many people as much as I'd hoped, I thought about my next project," Namkoong Min explained. "I wanted to do something easier and more comfortable for the audience."
After my last film, 'Our Movie,' and although it was a good work, I thought about the fact that it didn't entertain many people. I thought that for my next work, I wanted to do something easier and more comfortable.
He elaborated that "comfortable" in this context means a drama that can hold viewers' attention from beginning to end. Namkoong Min believes "Marriage, Complete" achieves this, capable of keeping viewers engaged even if they aren't paying close attention to every detail.
The crime thriller centers on a man's perilous fight against ruthless criminals to rescue his wife, who was abducted just before their divorce. The series is set to premiere on July 4th at 9:20 PM.
Comfortable means not just simply comfortable, but that it can hold the viewers' attention until the end. Even if you're not paying attention from the beginning to the middle of episode 1, I think you can continue to capture the viewers' attention.
