[trans] "Night Watchman" Completely Transformed Jung Yunho, Dispelling Doubts over his Acting Ability

-Please note: There are spoilers in this article. I could not leave them out, as the spoilers are integral to understanding the article's analysis of Yunho's acting.-

Jung Yunho has completely changed. In the drama "Journal of Night Watchmen", as if he is dressed in a custom-made outfit in the role of loyal Court officer, Moo Seok, Jung Yunho is currently soaring. He has gotten rid and escaped from the harsh tests ever since he stood up to the challenge of acting, and has taken strides forward to stem the public's doubts over his acting.

Jung Yunho is currently taking on the role of Moo Seok, who presents a confidante-like presense to Gisangun (Kim Heung Soo) in MBC Monday-Tuesday drama "Journal of Night Watchmen". Moo Seok is a military officer who is determined and who is full of loyalty towards Gisangun.

Jung Yunho, who made his first appearance in the 3rd episode, cloaked himself with charisma amidst the fanciful action scenes. Following that, he faced off against Lee Rin and while showing his loyalty towards Gisangun, he also displayed the charismatic material elements possessed by the man called Moo Seok. The 5th episode broadcast on 18 August portrayed the story of Gisangun assigning the task of Lee Rin's guard escort to Moo Seok. During this process, Jung Yunho's acting was pretty memorable.

Moo Seok's acquaintance spoke up about his dissatisfaction with Gisangun's measures, saying "After waving his long sword at the border territories, won't His Majesty look foolish the people who will not be riled up?" Warrior Moo Seok, who is used to hiding his feelings through his lack of any expression all the time, contorted his facial expressions in an instant and said in a low voice, "Words which dishonour His Majesty, I will not forgive it even if it is you". Although he did not show his anger in a huge way, Moo Seok's each and every phrase was even more pointed than whatever type of anger.

Instead of using a tone filled with anger, Jung Yunho's sharp, pointed gaze expressed Moo Seok's loyalty, making it particularly effective. From his first appearance, Jung Yunho, who received anticipation through his acting using cold icy gazes while also leaving a visual impression through his skillful action scenes which can be said to be "actions of art", expressed the warrior Moo Seok in that way, showing everybody the side of him who is pretty adept at emotive control.

In addition, in the scene where he stood out to stop Gisangun after the latter had drawn his sword having developed a misunderstanding that Lee Rin had tried to kill him, Jung Yunho's emotive acting, which had become considerably skillful, stood out. Moo Seok, who had the realization that he could possibly be killed for his actions, stepped out to stop Gisangun. While pleading with Gisangun with these words, "I am stopping you for Your Majesty's sake. Your Majesty will become a good king. Your Majesty's reign cannot have any blemishes. I request that Your Majesty please withdraw your sword", he was also resolutely drawing his own sword. Moo Seok's expressions of loyalty towards Gisangun even in the midst of a precarious atmosphere, and his advice were scenes which could not be omitted from that day's broadcast.

In Moo Seok's facial expressions, the stern atmosphere as a military officer, and the immense loyalty towards Gisangun, were assimilated and evident. Thanks to that, one has come to predict that the scenes moving forward will portray Moo Seok experiencing immense inner conflict as he stands between Gisangun and Lee Rin, who stands face to face against the violent king Gisangun and who possesses a high possibility that he may become the new king. Jung Yunho's acting, which was a mix of resolute firmness while yet possessing intense emotions, made scenes like this which will become sub-plots have a sense of completeness. Although it is premature to pass hasty judgment because the drama is still in its first half, there is a high possibility that he will shake off the controversy regarding his acting abilities which has been plaguing him.

After making his debut as a member of TVXQ in 2004, Jung Yunho is red hot as an top idol domestically. After stepping out to take on a challenge in acting through "Heading to the Ground" in 2009, he made various fervent knocks at the door to the small screens through "Poseidon" (2001), "Queen of Ambition" (2013) and "Journal of Night Watchmen". Just like any idol, akin to a rite of passage, Jung Yunho is in the midst of receiving sharp critique on his acting. Watching the drama this time around till present, the possibility is high that this may be a turning point in his acting life where he can change criticism into praise.

This is because Jung Yunho, who had revealed, at the time of the production press conference of "Journal of Night Watchmen", his resolution to show everybody his hardworking side, has met with a warrior character with overflowing charisma which is suitable for himself and is towing the popularity of the drama through his acting, which has improved by yet another level. Digesting the emotive acting with ease to express the firm will of the character called Moo Seok, who is overflowing with suaveness with each and every one of his actions, we have come to develop anticipation for his acting of his internal conflict in the future.

Yunho has definitely improved since his last drama, The Queen of Ambition. I believe his sad acting has improved in the drama, The Queen of Ambition, and as for The Night Watchman, I think his whole demeanor as an actor has improved a lot. Yunho is able to act like how Museok should be like, serious, brave, and skillful in swordsmanship.

Given enough practice, Yunho would inevitable improve. It's been more than a year since Yawang & without anything in between, he has to really absorb whatever he learns from his seniors as he has mentioned on  numerous occasions during some interviews. 

 

His humble disposition will ensure him of his sunbaes' kind  advice on acting  & that  would be the basis of his improvement. The continual thirst to improve & not to let his fans down, has resulted in the many generous compliments on his acting so far.

 

I'm so proud of him.

I think he's doing the character justice. Some complain that he's stiff but I believe they haven't read the character description or seen the episodes with subs. He IS supposed to be cold and stiff and the other characters to tease him about it

guys please watch it. :))) IT WAS SUPER AWESOME.

 

I watched them filming for the past 2 weeks and I can see Yunho is really doing his best on this one T__T.

He did do a lot of NGs on one scene that made his hand a little painful from holding that sword to the point that some of his co actors put ointment on his hand :( 

 

Mossuk nim.. hwaitting!

This is why knetizens need to learn that there are ROOMS FOR IMPROVEMENTS when it comes to acting. It's nice to see that his acting has improved.

 

to be fair, it wasn't only knetz, but I saw plenty of international netizen join the bandwagon of undermining his capability of improving as well

 

all I can say to them is "oh ye people o' little faith!"
