Actor Daniel Choi nailed his on-screen character so perfectly that he sparked viewers’ anger.
In episode 6 of the TVING original Yumi's Cells Season 3 (hereafter 'Yumi's Cells 3'), released on the 27th, Juho (played by Daniel Choi) and Soon-rok (played by Kim Jae-won) came to blows.
That day, Juho brought wine, saying he wanted to make up with Yumi (Kim Go-eun). But Soon-rok, who knew Juho has a habit of showing up with vintage wine whenever there’s a woman he wants to woo, saw red and the fight erupted. Stepping in to protect Yumi, Soon-rok clashed hard with a clueless Juho, and only after bystanders intervened did the brawl finally break up.
After the episode dropped, netizens reacted, saying, "His annoying-but-great acting made me furious," "This might be the role of his career," "He’s the best at playing jerks," and "Where did the 'High Kick!' gentleman go?"
Meanwhile, Daniel Choi isn’t just active in dramas — he’s also appearing on the tvN variety show Gugi-dong Friends, keeping up a prolific run across genres.
