Amidst a series of popular romantic dramas recently, such as “My Demon” and “The Story of Park’s Marriage Contract”, “Tell Me That You Love Me” seems to be somewhat “overlooked” in the international market. The reason is that it is not available on major online platforms and is broadcast on a less well-known broadcasting station. Nevertheless, it is still an excellent drama, referred to by the Korean media with titles like “the most romantic drama of the year” or “a classic romantic drama of the modern era”.
“Tell Me That You Love Me” marks Jung Woo Sung’s return to the romance genre after many years of mainly starring in heavy-duty films. Just the fact that Jung Woo Sung is back on the small screen and in a romantic drama is enough to understand how special the script of “Tell Me That You Love Me” must be. “Tell Me That You Love Me”, as evaluated by Naver, is demonstrating the true value of a classic and profound romantic drama with strong emotions.
In the drama, Jung Woo-sung plays Cha Jin-woo, a deaf artist. This character feels uncomfortable about mentioning his disability and doesn’t want others to pity him so he’s always alone to avoid people’s gaze. Jin-woo’s life faces a big change due to the appearance of a special woman named Mo-eun (Shin Hyun-bin). In the recent episodes, their love story finally has some developments. The two confess their hearts to each other using eye contact as their language. Without the need for lines, the moment Jin-woo and Mo-eun realize their feelings still fluttered the viewers’ hearts. Their perfect chemistry received favorable reviews from viewers. Many people even praised “Tell Me That You Love Me” as a ‘rare and precious romance’.
Especially, a lot of people were impressed by the excellent acting of Jung Woo-sung, who breathed life into the character Cha Jin-woo with his amazing emotional expressions and deep eyes without saying a word. In addition, Shin Hyun-bin also solved viewers’ doubts about her acting skills with a passionate performance. As such, viewers are looking forward to the chemistry between Jung Woo-sung and Shin Hyun-bin in the remaining episodes and how the story will end.
