According to Wikifree, the new Korean tvN drama "Shin's Project" was well received by the audience as soon as the first two episodes were broadcast with impressive ratings.
The opening episode's rating was 5.9%, then increased to 7.4% in episode 2, the drama led the rating in the same broadcast time frame on all Korean talk TV and cable TV channels.
The reconciliator is a comedy revolving around the story of Mr. Shin ( Han Suk Kyu), a former legendary bargaining expert of Interpol, who was a professor at Harvard University, but is currently opening a popular fried chicken shop. He was ready to get into any conflict, solve problems and carry out justice like a hero of the neighborhood.
In the first 2 episodes, Mr. Shin showed off his excellent negotiation and mediation skills with interesting situations in the neighborhood. He stopped a man who threatened to commit suicide by setting fire, resolving a conflict between a grocery store owner and a milk delivery staff.
With the help of rookie judge Jo Philip (Bae Hyun Sung), chicken delivery attendant Lee Si On (Lee Re) and several others, Mr. Shin exposed the plot to seize land to build a resort of a large corporation, demanding justice for fish sauce traders and making the TV station apologize for reporting false information.
The film is loved for its attractive character and script construction. Veteran actor Han Suk Kyu conquers the audience with his natural acting style, flexibly transforming between the two sides of the character, being both a cheerful fried chicken seller and a calm, reasonable negotiator.
The character Jo Philip is a rookie judge with excellent academic results but is too serious and follows the rules, which creates an interesting contrast with Mr. Shin's flexibility.
Meanwhile, delivery staff Lee Si On is a generous, strong person, also opposite to Jo Philip's always-edited image. But there are signs of a relationship between the two, promising a romantic relationship in the future.
The film script also attracted viewers with Mr. Shin having many unique ways to solve the problem. He did not limit himself rigidly, instead, he applied flexible methods, even breaking the rules to achieve results that satisfied both sides.
Director Shin Kyung Soo, who collaborated with Han Suk Kyu to create a rating fever of up to 25.4% with the 2011 film Deep Rooted Tree, continues to direct the film The master of reconciliation and reunites with Han Suk Kyu.
The director cleverly integrated stressful and dramatic situations with everyday scenes at a fried chicken restaurant. The film smoothly combines humorous elements, social criticism and thrilling action elements to attract viewers.
