Character evaluation

Yeo Jin-goo is a little giant who acts with sincerity. He is in the middle period between a boy and a man, clearly showing his own characteristics and having a firm will. His face that can perfectly interpret both good and evil, his heavy bass that captivates the audience, and his immeasurably deep eyes are truly something only an actor can possess.
