Kim Jae-joong

Kim Jae-joong’s filmography might not be massive yet, but man, the guy knows how to pick interesting projects. In Cheong-nyeon-gyeong-chal (2017), he steps into the shoes of a rookie cop, all wide-eyed and a bit too eager, you know the type—gets in over his head but has the heart to push through. It’s not your standard police procedural; there’s this all-in energy, like the whole force is just winging it half the time, and Jae-joong brings this awkward charm that’s actually pretty hilarious. Then you’ve got Tune in for Love (2019), which is a whole different vibe. Forget car chases—here it’s all about nostalgia, missed connections, and those weird turns life throws at you. The story jumps through different years, and every time the two leads almost get together, something random happens. Kind of frustrating, but also super relatable? Jae-joong’s role isn’t in-your-face, but he’s got this quiet intensity, like he’s always on the verge of saying something big. Jeungin (2019), though—totally shifts gears. It’s heavier, more dramatic. The plot dives into a tangled mess of family secrets, betrayal, and the kind of emotional baggage that just hangs in the air. Jae-joong really digs into the complicated stuff here, balancing anger and guilt without making it feel forced. Altogether, these movies show off a solid range, from goofy and heartfelt to straight-up intense. If you’re looking for variety, his film choices keep things interesting.
