Jin Goo is winning hearts with his role in OCN’s “A Superior Day”!

Based on the hit webtoon of the same name, “A Superior Day” is a thriller about the 24-hour nightmare of an ordinary man who must save his kidnapped daughter by murdering the serial killer who lives next door.

The actor is stunning viewers with his emotive and detailed acting abilities while playing a character who faces numerous perilous situations. Below are three times Jin Goo kept everyone’s eyes glued to the screen!

1. His opening act

Right from the very beginning, Lee Ho Chul had to deal with his daughter disappearing right before his eyes. When he set out on his desperate quest to find her, he ran head-first into danger when he got hit by a car. Despite such a horrific encounter, he remained undeterred as he had his mind set on nothing but the goal of rescuing his daughter.

Jin Goo succeeded in drawing the viewers in through his sense of urgency and his expression of the sheer desperation of a father losing his child. He delivered each of his lines with exquisite detail in order to heighten the degree of immersion in the plot from the get-go.

2. When he wavers between his sense of duty and desperation

When security guard Kim Dong Joo (Kim Do Hyun) died after helping him in his search for his daughter, Lee Ho Chul fell into a spiral of guilt. However, with his daughter’s life at stake, he had no choice but to follow the orders of professional hitman Bae Tae Jin (Ha Do Kwon).

Jin Goo navigated this difficult emotional landscape with skillful detail, showing Lee Ho Chul’s agony through minor movements such as trembling lips and wavering eyes. His portrayal left viewers on the edges of their seats as they nervously awaited what would happen next.

3. His unpredictable crisis

Lee Ho Chul had called his fellow firemen to help Kim Dong Joo but soon found himself in a predicament when he was falsely labeled a suspect in the “Rich Girl” serial killing case. When Lee Ho Chul was chasing the real serial killer Kwon Si Woo (Lee Won Geun), his face was revealed, which threw him into a state of confusion. Jin Goo drew admiration from viewers with his impeccable performance of a man experiencing complicated emotions and panic after consecutive days of such uncanny events.
