Cha Eun Woo left Korean and international audiences speechless with his incredible acting in 'Island's finale.

On January 13, 'Island' aired its final two episodes for season 1, and the highlight of the finale was Cha Eun Woo's heartwrenching acting as Priest John/Yohan.

The main focus of episodes 5 & 6 was the sad tale of two brothers who found each other after ages only to lose each other again. The emotions were running high in the season finale, and people were left crying to see Priest John's desperation and heartbreak. Cha Eun Woo's acting as a desperate, broken man trying to save his loved one and his tears were well-received by Knetz as well as the international audience.

Here is what Knetz said on the Korean forum about Cha Eun Woo's acting and crying scenes in Island:

  • Whenever Cha Eunwoo cried, I thought my heart would break
  • I can really see the acting here... Eunwoo is amazing. You really have everything.
  • Cha Eun-Woo's acting has improved a lot. He seems to have failed to shine in realistic acting because of his unrealistic appearance. I think it's the power of acting + the face that doesn't look awkward at all in that scene. It was convincing
  • The acting improved a lot in Island. Episode 6 was pretty good. Everyone, please watch Island, the acting is good
  • I cried while watching episode 6 because of Yohan's narrative.
  • Eunwoo also cried well during Gangnam Beauty hahaha
  • The acting was really good, the exorcism scene was also good
  • I only saw Yohan, not Eunwoo especially when I saw Yohan crying
  • Wow, you've gotten so much better at using facial expressions.
  • In the sixth episode of Ireland, Eunwoo is really good
  • I want to hug you.
  • It's a face full of narrative...It's beautiful.
  • I cried while watching episode 6 because of Yohan's narrative
  • I've never seen him act before. He's really good in Island.
  • He was great in both Decibel and Island
