LayarHijau – Actor Johnny Huang is once again capturing public attention with the release of his latest crime drama, The Punishment (罚罪之英雄简史). However, this time, it’s not just his on-screen performance that’s being talked about—his over-the-top car door closing style went viral and has become a hot topic on social media.
Johnny Huang’s way of closing a car door is far from ordinary—sometimes using his foot or other parts of his body with considerable force. This unique habit sparked a wave of jokes and reactions from netizens, turning into a widely shared online discussion and landing him on entertainment hot search lists.
Responding to the growing buzz, Johnny Huang addressed it with humor. He admitted that he didn’t intend to slam the car door so hard, but if he used a normal method, the door often wouldn’t close properly during filming. His explanation only amused fans more.
Meanwhile, media reports added context that the car used on set was a prop vehicle in old condition, so such forceful handling was somewhat understandable during production.
Netizens had a field day with the situation, commenting things like, “It looks cool, but my car would be destroyed instantly,” and “Even if it’s Johnny Huang, I’m never letting him touch my car!”
Johnny Huang is widely known for his roles in crime and action dramas, cementing his status as a leading figure in the genre.
The Punishment is part of the same narrative universe as the earlier drama Chasing the Undercurrent. Both dramas focus on law enforcement and high-stakes investigations. Chasing the Undercurrent, which aired in 2022, was praised for its intense crime storytelling, portraying police officers navigating complex cases and internal conflicts. The Punishment continues this atmosphere, plunging viewers back into the world of legal and moral dilemmas, with law enforcement facing the dangerous challenges of modern criminal networks.
Alongside Johnny Huang as Qin Feng, the drama also features supporting actors who add depth and tension, including Eric Wang Chuanjun as Liu Tianye, Liang Jie as Wen Jiangyan, Li Youbin as Ye Tianyou, Sa Ri Na as Wen Qin, and Zhang Tong as Mai Hongchao. Their performances enhance the narrative’s moral and emotional conflicts, giving The Punishment its compelling intensity.
With strong themes of justice, loyalty, and moral struggle, The Punishment maintains the suspense and dramatic tension characteristic of the series since Chasing the Undercurrent, while cementing Johnny Huang as one of the most talked-about faces in contemporary crime dramas.
