🔥 Cha Hak-yeon stuns with wild, witty action in 'Noh Moo-jin'
Cha Hak-yeon just served up a scene-stealing performance that blended slapstick humor with unexpected intensity. In the second episode of MBC's new fantasy-action drama 'Noh Moo-jin', which aired on May 30, he made his explosive debut as quirky ex-reporter turned YouTuber Go Kyun-woo.
💥 Undercover Mayhem
Kyun-woo goes undercover at a factory, trying to expose the truth behind the suspicious death of intern Min-wook (played by Park Soo-oh). His investigation leads him to approach foreign worker Nimal (Anupam), only to get caught and surrounded by dozens of factory workers.
🥊 Chaotic Escapes & Comic Timing
Cue a wild escape sequence: Kyun-woo sprints, leaps, and slides his way out using oil drums, conveyor rails, and even a tow cart. It's a full-blown comic-action chase scene. Cha Hak-yeon's long limbs and expressive face turned the fight into a dance of physical comedy—earning him major points for originality.
🎬 Behind the Scenes
Cha shared, "That entire scene was only about five lines in the script. I worked closely with the director to bring Kyun-woo's flavor to life. I wanted him to feel like a splash of soda—refreshing and chaotic."
✨ More to Come
Kyun-woo isn't stopping at one factory. "He'll continue going undercover in unexpected places," Cha teased. "Expect more of his 'clear-eyed chaos'—a lovable mix of slyness and sincerity."
