As the recently released thriller Don’t Buy the Seller sails smoothly in the box office, Kang Tae Oh, who makes a special appearance in the film, is also capturing attention.
Don’t Buy the Seller is a suspenseful thriller that revolves around Su Hyun, who becomes a victim of crime through second-hand dealings. Kang Tae Oh plays the role of Detective Na of the cybercrime unit.
In a police station where various incidents and accidents abound, Detective Na stands out as a sincere and passionate character. He genuinely empathizes with Su Hyun (Shin Hye Sun), unlike others who dismiss the severity of her situation. He leads the investigation and, thereby, the narrative of the film, taking Su Hyun’s predicament seriously.
Kang Tae Oh has previously stated that he studied real-life detectives’ patterns and lifestyles to prepare for the role. He brings to life a rookie detective who exhibits high levels of empathy towards victims but doesn’t hesitate to relentlessly chase criminals.
In a thriller genre where tension is the norm, Kang Tae Oh’s portrayal of Detective Na offers a rare breather. Each time he appears on screen, he refreshes the atmosphere, leaving an impact far exceeding that of a “special appearance.” For fans lamenting his current hiatus due to military service, Kang Tae Oh’s compelling presence in Don’t Buy the Seller is nothing short of a treat.
