In the final episode of JTBC's Saturday-Sunday Drama " (directed by Park Ji-ha, Lee Hyung-min and Choi Sun-min), which aired on the 4th, Lee Mi-jin (Jeong Eun-ji), the main character who had a beautiful breakup with Lim Soon (Lee Jung-eun), began a much-anticipated in-house relationship with Gye Ji-woong (Choi Jin-hyuk), and faced a pink happy ending. As a result, the viewership of the final episode of 'Day and Night Woman' reached 12.1% in the Seoul metropolitan area and 11.7% nationwide, surpassing 10%. Both the Seoul metropolitan area and the nationwide standard hit their own highest ratings, achieving a successful conclusion (based on Nielsen Korea paid households)
Lee Mi-jin, who revealed her secrets to her parents, thought that she could live with Lim Soon forever, so she filled her precious daily life by doing what she must do in life one by one. In particular, Lee Mi-jin started studying to do what she really wanted to do and worked toward a better future, creating a sense of emotion.
Meanwhile, the long-cherished separation between the main character and the secondary character suddenly came. Im-soon held Lee Mi-jin's hand tightly that she couldn't do anything on her own and "You made it possible." I was able to do it because of you. You are me." He then sent warm support, saying, "'You're young, you have to do a lot of what you want to do and live.'"
Lee Mi-jin, who looked back on herself again during her time with Lim Soon, finally passed the prosecution civil service examination and worked in the same workplace as Kye Ji-woong, who came to Seoul. The two, who met again after a long wait, developed their love by confessing all their hearts, unlike in the past when they could not be honest due to their respective circumstances. Lim Soon's smile, looking at the two happily after Lee Mi-jin and Kye Ji-woong, who had a long-cherished relationship with the company, left a deep lingering impression.
'Day and Night Woman', which depicts the dual life of a job seeker in his 50s during the day and in his 20s at night, provided empathy, laughter and emotion in each episode with a unique setting. It was a thrilling pleasure to see Lim Soon, a senior intern in her 50s who does difficult things easily, working with Gye Ji-woong to solve the case. In addition, the scenes in which Lee Mi-jin, a 20-year-old job applicant, fell in love with Kye Ji-woong, the opposite of her, made my heart pound.
Lee Mi-jin and Im-soon's dual lives, which differ day and night, added more immersion with the perfect combination of actors Lee Jung-eun and Jung Eun-ji, who look exactly like each other. The efforts of the two actors, who shared scenes of acting after listening to each other's voices, and synchronized themselves, shone. In addition, Choi Jin-hyuk's performance, which showed a synergy of fantasy with two people, Lee Jung-eun and Jung Eun-ji, was also outstanding.
On top of that, Lee Mi-jin's frustration of repeatedly failing to get a job despite her tremendous efforts touched the hearts of many young people, and the conflict between Lim Soon, who started what she wanted but struggled because she was too old, sparked sympathy from all generations. Therefore, Im Soon's support to Lee Mi-jin at the end of the play resonated deeply in the hearts of many people living in reality.
Sensuous production, which dramatically depicts the difference between day and night, also attracted attention. He continued his emotional line by naturally showing the changes in the secondary and main characters from day to night, and broke down the boundary by describing the emotions experienced by Lim Soon in her 50s as the point of view of Lee Mi-jin in her 20s. In addition, various genres such as mystery, thriller, and humanism were added on the big framework of romantic comedy to present eye-watering fun.
JTBC's Saturday-Sunday drama 'She Who Differs Day and Night', which clearly showed that every given moment is the heyday of life, ended the journey supporting the youth of everyone living in this era.
