From the first week of broadcast, Kim Dan has been gathering hot attention in the SBS Friday-Saturday drama The Winning Try', where he plays the role of Moon Woong, a character blessed with divine athletic DNA, showcasing his first performance since his debut.
'The Winning Try' is a comedic growth sports drama that follows the unpredictable maverick director Joo Ga-ram (played by Yoon Kye-sang) and the perennially last-place Han Yang High School rugby team as they sprint towards national championship glory.
Kim Dan's character, Moon Woong, is a nineteen-year-old youth who helps out at his father's diner in the market, attracting the attention of people of all ages with his exceptional physique and sunny disposition. Despite his natural athletic talent and physical prowess, he hides his interest in sports due to a painful family history.
The anticipation is already high for how Moon Woong, a character shrouded in mystery, will intertwine with the eccentric director Joo Ga-ram and the Han Yang High School rugby team. Particularly, there's a focused interest in the portrayal of the youthful Moon Woong by 'newcomer' Kim Dan, who is expected to bring an energetic performance to the role.
Equipped with a fresh face and a solid physique, Kim Dan boasts a high visual synchronization with his character Moon Woong and is expected to deliver a detailed portrayal of the youthful character with his stable acting skills.
Kim Dan's refreshing first performance in 'The Winning Try' is eagerly awaited, with episode 3 airing on Friday night at 9:50 PM.
