Jisung and The One reunite in 'Apartment', surpassing 6% viewership ratings

JTBC's weekend drama 'Apartment' has successfully established itself with a rising viewership curve. Starting at 4.6%, the ratings have steadily increased every episode, reaching 6.0% in the most recent four broadcasts. This work, which depicts the process of Park Hae-gang (played by Jisung), a former boss of the Oasis faction who runs for the apartment representative council president to seize hidden money within the apartment, is competing between KBS2's 'The Husband' (6.4%) and tvN's 'Spellbound'.

Jisung and The One reunite after 'Connection'

Jisung and The One previously worked together in the 2024 SBS drama 'Connection'. At that time, 'Connection' concluded with a peak viewership rating of 14.2% in its final episode. The two actors have reunited in this work after two years, matching their gazes and chemistry based on the trust they have built.

The One plays 'Gyeong-nam', a character who watches Park Hae-gang's plans most closely and navigates through crisis situations together. In the 4th episode, Gyeong-nam was shown working as Hae-gang's supporter, establishing strategies and breaking through crises ahead of the presidential election. Gyeong-nam's appearance of rejoicing in Hae-gang's success as if it were his own shows the character's human side.

Completing 'Gyeong-nam' with a realistic character

The One focuses on embodying the character as a realistic person rather than forcing laughter. His acting style, which pushes through the character's emotions and situations to the end, adds persuasiveness to the drama. The character of Gyeong-nam, who is sly yet trustworthy, is leaving an impression on viewers with each passing episode.

Gyeong-nam controls the rhythm of the drama with his loyalty toward Hae-gang and natural reactions. Instead of exaggerated comedy, The One's approach of pushing through the character's situation maintains the flow of the drama.

Global viewer response and buzz

Reactions to The One's acting continue among global viewers. Comments such as "an actor who makes scenes breathe more" and "the rhythm of the work comes alive whenever he appears" follow. The authenticity of the character is being conveyed across languages and cultures.

The One continues the synergy with Jisung through acting that believes in and completes the character until the end. The chemistry between the two actors is supporting the rise in the work's viewership ratings.
