In the ENA Monday-Tuesday drama "Crash" which is set to end on the 18th, Heo Sung-tae plays Jeong Chae-man, the head of the traffic crime investigation team, increasing the fun of the drama.

From his first appearance, Heo Sung-tae appeared with an over-the-top old man's joke, giving laughter. Heo Sung-tae, who has been playing villain-oriented characters and showed a strong and charismatic appearance, is creating a more attached character in "Crash" by harmonizing hard leadership and sloppy humanity.

This aspect was especially noticeable with the team members of the traffic crime investigation team. As the team members were directly recruited himself, the immersion in the drama is even higher in the way that he has affection for every single one of them and brings an atmosphere with excellent leadership even in a moment of crisis.

In addition, even when he was reprimanded for avoiding the investigation of the case he was ordered to, he amazed everyone to the extent that he used the trap reversely to arrest the criminal.

The more Jeong Chae-man's performance in "Crash" is revealed, the more the villain Heo Sung-tae has played so far comes to mind. From the movie "The Age of Shadows" where Heo Sung-tae slaps Song Kang-ho to Poisonous Snake in "The Outlaws" and Seo Tae-seok in "Big Bet", he has become a global villain due to "Squid Game" Jang Deok-soo.

In a production presentation, Heo Seong-tae said, "I think this is my first good-guy role in a drama. Jeong Chae-man is a just and heavy-handed person who creates and recruits TCI and solves cases with a sense of mission". Heo Sung-tae, one of Korea's representative villain actors, proved that Jeong Chae-man is enough for him to play good roles, and expanded the spectrum of roles he will play in the future.

In the end, Heo Sung-tae's challenges and efforts were well received by viewers as well. "Crash", which started with 2.2%, recorded its own highest viewer rating of 6.3% in the 10th episode and is receiving favorable reviews by steadily maintaining the 5% rating.

Meanwhile, while Heo Sung-tae's challenge for the role was successfully completed, the last story of the ENA "Crash" TCI team will air at 10 PM on the 18th.
