In episode 11 of the tvN Wed-Thu drama ‘I Will Give You the Universe’ (directed by Lee Hyun-seok and Jung Yeo-jin; written by Su-jin and Shin I-hyun), aired on the 11th, Bae In-hyuk played Seon Tae-hyung and captivated viewers with a broad spectrum of acting that moved between the thrill of romance and the responsibility to protect his family.

In particular, together with gentle charm, he portrayed delicate emotional shifts, such as eyes wavering in the face of unexpected trials, maximizing the humanity of Seon Tae-hyung.
In the story, Seon Tae-hyung begins a full-fledged romance with Woo Hyun-jin (played by Roh Jeong-eui), stirring excitement as a ‘straightforward lover’. Bae In-hyuk skillfully conveyed the joyful energy of a man in love, revealing sweet charm as he coaxed a cheek kiss with playful lines.
Alongside this, Bae In-hyuk vividly portrayed a devoted uncle toward his nephew U-ju (played by Park Yu-ho) and the hardships of real-life childcare.
