Song Kang, a 'popular actor', captured the hearts of global fans by presenting two works with different charms at the same time.
Song Kang is showing off his trendy side through the SBS Friday-Saturday drama 'My Demon' and Season 2 of the Netflix series 'Sweet Home'. Are both works ranked high in the Netflix TOP 10 series rankings not only in Korea but also in overseas countries such as Japan, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Thailand, and Taiwan, and in the overall cast category topicality ranking announced by FUNdex, the official platform of Good Data Corporation? In other words, the number of Song Kang's personal SNS followers is steadily increasing, proving his global popularity.
In Season 2 of 'My Demon' and 'Sweet Home', Song Kang is truly a 'genre-breaker' with his versatile acting, ranging from sweet romantic comedies to intense creature features.
First, in 'My Demon', he plays the role of 'Jung Gu-won', a deadly and flawless demon, coloring the small screen pink in every episode. The relationship that began as an unintentional encounter with the devilish conglomerate heiress Do Do-hee (played by Kim Yoo-jung) accidentally transfers the tattoo to Do-hee and becomes her dedicated bodyguard to protect it. Furthermore, the relationship gradually becomes closer through the process of marriage. Just looking at the love that blossoms within it makes you smile with joy.
Here, Song Kang further enhances the homme fatale charm of 'Salvation' with deeply melodious eyes and expressions, comical actions that make you laugh, and gorgeous visuals, and interestingly depicts the romance between the two characters, which is like the wheel of fate.
Meanwhile, 'Sweet Home' Season 2 builds up the emotional lines of 'Cha Hyun-soo' that have continued since Season 1, leading to immersion.
Song Kang portrays Hyun-soo, who finds a clue to solving the monster-turned-situation situation and heads to the Bamseom Special Disaster Base on his own to end the situation, ultimately choosing the lonely life of a special infected person, with unstoppable action and a variety of emotional acting. In particular, in the interview, Hyun-soo's feelings of never showing up even though he is looking for Eun-yu (played by Go Min-si) were said, "I think it's because he knows that the first person Eun-yu looks for desperately is not Hyun-su. He knows how Eun-yu feels, and he knows himself. As he said, “I think I repaid the favor by hiding and protecting him in fear of being disappointed if I saw him,” and completed ‘Cha Hyun-soo’ through in-depth interpretation and research on the character. These efforts bring tears to viewers' eyes as they fully convey to viewers the heart of Hyeonsu, who sacrifices and devotes himself to protect 'people' even in a devastated world where the distinction between humans and monsters, good and evil, has become blurred.
Song Kang, who drew the public's attention by breathing life into the characters of Guwon, a strong 'homme fatale demon' who wants to be hugged, and Hyeonsu, who is full of sorrowful beauty and wants to be hugged, with their different charms and personalities. Expectations are growing for Song Kang, who is filling up his diverse filmography with endless challenges such as romance, creature, and human genres, which he previously introduced with 'I Know', 'Navillera', and 'Love Alarm'.
Meanwhile, the SBS Friday-Saturday drama 'My Demon' starring Song Kang airs every Friday and Saturday at 10 PM, and Season 2 of the Netflix series 'Sweet Home' is streaming to over 190 countries around the world on Netflix.
