Poe revisited

The musical "Edgar Allan Poe" has ended  February 4th, but the show was televised , and broadcast in 2 parts, on April 14th and 15th, on MBC channel. And guess who was featured in the televised version? None other than "uree Dongha-nim". ๐Ÿ’œ Yesss. And even the broadcast was in the middle of the night, at 1:30 am, he was noticed, and got good reviews. Before the broadcast, Dongha was interviewed quite extensively, giving his comments about it.

Several video clips showed up on You Tube, and it became obvious to me, that his role in musical "Poe" is a great achievement, and that he grew better, much better,  in his acting ability .
Below is the video of a duet with "Elmira". His voice is exquisite in this song,  smooth like velvet, absolutely perfectly expressing the affection Poe has for Elmira.

And a completely different scene: Poe delirious under the influence of alcohol and drugs.
  

 I am always struck with awe, when Dongha is at his best. I just can't compare him to anyone. I am amazed how his acting has vastly improved since Turandot or even Notre Dame De Paris. He can now truly be called "musical actor" as well as pop singer. Which path will he choose in the near future? I hope he can go both paths in parallel.
