I sometimes think about that one scene from Stove League where Nam Goong Min’s character broke down in front Kil Chang Joo’s house. He had sobbed and questioned his right to hold a baby after he was asked, by Kil Chang Joo’s wife, if he’d like to hold theirs. It was a heart-wrenching scene for so many reasons.
I, personally, have not come across that many stories that also depict the impact of child loss on fathers (in K-drama world). Nam Goong Min tore my heart out and I wept for him. It was just one of the best performances I’ve seen. I didn’t get to finish the drama – as I got sidetracked by school – but that scene, in particular, stuck with me. Maybe I should go finish the drama.
I agree with you completely! NGM is not an actor I particularly like, but he turned in a fine performance here. The show is not Baeksaeng-great though, IMO, and I was surprised at the win.
Opinions vary a lot. Imho NGM is a fantastic actor and the show is proof that you don’t need gorgeous landscapes and intricate symbolism to make a great show.
That scene caught me off guard and it made me cry so much for him. Seeing his tears just pour down.
This drama convinced me NGM is one of my favorite actors. Definitely give it a try again. I hate sports lol but this drama easily joined my Favorites list.
It was heart-wrenching and explained everything about his backstory. It made me cry too. NGM is a superb actor. I have marveled at everything I’ve seen him in. It deserved its accolades IMO.
Please do, you will love it and it’s really worth it.
I was so happy I followed beanies recommendation…
And the scene you mention, it’s just heartbreaking. I rememeber crying like a baby when watching.

I think he’s amazing too. Chief Kim was my favorite role so far.
