Actor Kim Joong Hee, who portrays an inept, obstinate, and traditionalist boss in the tvN Monday-Tuesday drama ‘Marry My Husband‘, has sparked discussions among viewers.
In the widely acclaimed series ‘Marry My Husband,’ Kim Joong Hee embodies the character of Kim Kyung Wook, depicting him as both inept and brimming with self-righteousness and stubbornness towards his subordinates.
His descent from manager to deputy manager unfolds after he undermines Kang Ji Won’s proposal, yet his self-centered and egotistical demeanor endures, harboring disdain for Kang Ji Won.
As deputy manager, Kim Kyung Wook consistently admonishes and displays an inferiority complex towards Yang Ju Ran (played by Gong Min Jung), epitomizing the archetype of the old-fashioned boss.
Furthermore, his true nature surfaces as he arrogantly assumes the manager’s chair, formerly his own, and issues commands to Yang Ju Ran, now his superior, in a casual tone.
Particularly noteworthy are the comedic scenes where he impulsively confronts Park Min Hwan (played by Lee Yi Kyung) after losing Jung Soo Min’s affection, eliciting laughter from viewers.
In this manner, Kim Joong Hee skillfully embodies the quintessential incompetent old-fashioned boss, enhancing the drama’s immersion with each episode.
Notably, Kim Joong Hee, aged 39, is two years older than Park Min Young. His acclaim stems from a diverse portfolio, including ‘Moving,’ ‘Through the Darkness,’ ‘Delayed Justice,’ ‘The Nokdu Flower,’ ‘Mr. Sunshine,’ and films such as ‘Noryang: Deadly Sea,’ ‘Spider Web,’ ‘Phantom,’ and ‘Hero.’
