There’s a new face and breakout star in MBC‘s currently airing Wed-Thurs drama Angry Mom, a feat in any situation but all the more impressive happening in a drama chock full of fantastic performances all around. Young actor Ji Soo, who plays high school thug Go Bok Dong, caught my eye in his very first scene in episode 1 and has subsequently made waves with all the viewers of this drama for his undeniable onscreen talent.
I described him off the bat as the love child of Jo In Sung and Yoo Ah In and the more I watch him the more that exact combination suits. He has a super tall build paired with these soulful eyes and pillowly lips, seeing him act is like rewinding the clock to Jo In Sung’s debut years and Yoo Ah In’s earlier more raw acting style. I’m also enjoying Angry Mom the drama despite it being wayyyyyy darker and less funny than I expected, the performances are wonderful across-the-board and the story is meaningful enough to check out. Spotting new talent like Ji Soo is merely icing on the cake.
So there is a popularity award in both the film and the television sections of…

Totally agree with you regarding his talent, koala. I am really enjoying angry mom. Kim Hee Sun and Hyun Woo are doing a great job and the story is intriguing and this new guy's performance definitely stands out. Wish him good things ahead!
Acting is quite nice across the board in Angry Mom - I am pleasantly surprised by Ji Soo's range. I expected the usual pretty face but he has that Yoo Ah In capability of cautious expression with hurt, vulnerable eyes that works perfectly for this role.
LOL, I just found my new Oppa. His acting is really great and it helps that he has a theater history and a few drama supporting roles as well (or so I heard). I'm looking forward for his character's development in Angry Mom among other things.
I love him. He sometimes look like BigBang Taeyang too esp when he wore that hat in that screencap
Yeah He does kinda resemble Big Bang's Tae yang, I thought I was the only one hahahaha
Loving the drama & definitely noticed him too ;D for me, he reminds me of B.A.P Bang Yong Guk (if anyone is familiar with Kpop) plus Yoo Ah In, anyway I hope this show will stay good, right now I'm addicted.
I loooooove him....He does have something of Yoo Ah In.
I was going to drop the drama because whatever Kim Hee Seon did to her face to look like a high schooler distracts me.
Her face is just too tight and I feel like it's going to crack anytime soon.
But I decided to continue watching it for the teenagers' story.
The adults and the lead pair especially are boring to me so far.
I am with you on this. There is no evidence, so to speak, that he is an idol actor.
He's just an actor. I LLLOOOVVVVEEEE his scenes with KHS. She is so "been you, done that" with him, he can't figure out why she keeps dissing him.
But, I want him to be the good guy soooo bad!!
And thank you, subbers, for getting this done so quickly every week so we can enjoy it.
He looked like big bang taeyang when he had that cap on
OMG koala you just made my crush on this guy 100000x worse (or better?)
Thanks for this writeup.
All crushes should be enabled and nurtured. Life is better with crushes.
lol... agree!
OMG.. so im not the only one who thinks of him as a hybrid of JIS & YAI.. i usually do a 'new hottie alert' to entice my kdrama dongseng to watch along and that's exactly how i described him.
Angry Mom is quite dark but the Princess' two male sidekick are quite hilarious
All I can say is yes and amen.
