My Take
Nam Yoon-su is one of those actors I keep noticing in the supporting role before he eventually gets the lead — and honestly, watching that arc play out has been a real pleasure. He made a strong impression in Beyond Evil as a young detective holding his own against veterans, and his turn in The King's Affection showed genuine range across the historical drama format. But Love in the Big City in 2024 felt like a proper arrival moment — carrying a lead role in a story that actually had something to say about modern queer life in Seoul took guts, and he delivered. Born in 1997, he's still very much building his filmography, and I'm genuinely curious where he goes from here. There's a quiet intensity to him on screen that doesn't scream for attention, which is usually a sign someone will have a long career.
