The Rediscovery Of Actor Ahn Jae Hong — Netizens Give High Praise For His Acting In “Mask Girl”
You may know Ahn Jae Hong from his role in Fight For My Way as Kim Joo Man, the lovable best friend to Park Seo Joon’s Go Dong Man.
You might also know him from Be Melodramatic, where he played the Son Beom Soo, Lim Jin Joo’s (played by Chun Woo Hee) boyfriend.
In both dramas, he was the perfect gentleman and boyfriend. Which is why fans were super shocked to see him make a total transformation for his newest role, Ju Oh Nam in Mask Girl.
He played the role to perfection, nailing the tics and mannerisms of an otaku. Awkward, unable to interact with women, even displaying a high dependency on online materials to satisfy his sexual cravings. In the scene below, he forces a confession of love on the main character, Kim Mo Mi.
