The drama ‘Namib’ (written by Eom Seong-min/directed by Han Sang-jae), which aired on ENA on the 23rd, follows the story of Kang Soo-hyeon (Go Hyun-jung) and Yoo Jin-woo (Rye Un), who were kicked out of Pandora Entertainment, coming to the negotiation table to achieve their mutual goals. This unfolded at a rapid pace.
In the hectic live audition scene, Kang Soo-hyun opened the scene with the image of Kang Soo-hyun busily looking for Yoo Jin-woo, who disappeared right before the stage. Kang Soo-hyun, who managed to return to the scene in search of Yoo Jin-woo, held Jin-woo’s precariously shaking hand and encouraged him, foreshadowing the strong solidarity between the two that will unfold in the future.
Next, the narrative of the relationship between Kang Soo-hyun and Yoo Jin-woo, who firmly trust each other, unfolded in earnest. They had something in common: they were suddenly kicked out of Pandora Entertainment, where they had worked together. Kang Soo-hyun, who was the CEO of Pandora Entertainment, was dismissed from the board of directors in an emergency meeting due to allegations of abuse of power raised by an artist. As Kang Soo-hyun stepped down and a new CEO took office, long-term trainee Yoo Jin-woo was also released, leaving a bitter feeling.
What Pandora Entertainment offered to Kang Soo-hyun, who was on the verge of being kicked out empty-handed, was Jin-woo Yoo (played by Ryeowoon), a discharged trainee with a debt of 200 million won. Kang Soo-hyun, who was taken aback by the absurd proposal, discovered an interesting fact while reading materials related to Yoo Jin-woo. Jinwoo Yoo, who had a similar score to the average score of trainees, recorded a perfect evaluation score when he joined the company.
Kang Soo-hyun, who saw some potential, said, “Then I can win,” and offered Jin-woo Yoo a contract on the condition that he win the Star Rise audition. Yoo Jin-woo also mentioned her son Shim Jin-woo (Lee Jin-woo) to Kang Soo-hyun and doubled the tension by saying, “CEO, buy me. I will protect your children. Do you like me now?” . A thrilling current flows over the negotiation table between the two, raising curiosity about how the deal between Kang Soo-hyun and Yoo Jin-woo will be concluded.
Episode 1 of ‘Namib’ recorded 1.4% of paid households nationwide, according to viewership research company Nielsen Korea.
