Bae Na-ra Makes a Striking Impression as 'Raincoat Man' in 'The Bequeathed'
Actor Bae Na-ra has left a powerful mark with a striking new persona in the Disney+ original series 'The Bequeathed'.
In episode 3, released on the 5th, Bae Na-ra appeared as the mysterious 'Raincoat Man,' immediately establishing a strong presence. His unexpected entrance amidst a blood-soaked scene with an unidentified corpse immediately captured viewers' attention.
The character, seemingly acting under the command of Johan (played by Do Kyung-soo), exuded an air of mystery. Bae Na-ra's nonchalant flicking away of skin fragments from his shoes on the floor added a chilling, unsettling atmosphere.
Later, disguised as medical personnel, he infiltrated the prison. His meticulous actions, such as memorizing the target Tae-joong's (Ji Chang-wook) face and actively searching for missing individuals, showcased his calculated nature. The scene where he administered a prepared substance to Tae-joong under the guise of vaccination, delivered with a blank, inscrutable expression, heightened the dramatic tension.
Episode 4 further fueled curiosity by revealing a text message sent from his character to someone presumed to be Johan, reading, 'It ends in 30 minutes.' This cryptic message sparked questions about his role in the unfolding plot and his precise relationship with Johan.
Bae Na-ra's special appearance in 'The Bequeathed,' which releases two episodes every Wednesday for a total of 12, has already proven unforgettable despite his limited screen time.
Following his impactful role in Netflix's 'D.P. Season 2,' Bae Na-ra has been steadily building his unique acting color through diverse characters in various genres, including 'Weak Hero Class 2' and 'Your Taste.' He is currently drawing attention for his portrayal of Baek Sang-hyun in the popular SBS drama 'Marry My Husband,' balancing a cool demeanor with human warmth, and has been cast in the musical 'Bonnie & Clyde,' signaling a busy period across dramas and the stage.
Korean netizens are buzzing about Bae Na-ra's impactful performance, with comments like 'He gave me chills,' 'What's the Raincoat Man's real identity?', and 'His presence is immense despite the short appearance,' expressing anticipation for his future roles.
