tvN's Saturday-Sunday drama 'Jungnyeoni' (played by Choi Hyo-bi, directed by Jung Ji-in) which first aired on the 12th is a drama that depicts competition, solidarity, and brilliant growth over the young man of 『Natural Sound Genius』 who challenges the best national drama actor after the Korean War in the 1950s. As of the 2nd episode, 'Jungnyeon' recorded an average viewership of 8.9% and a maximum of 10.0% in the Seoul metropolitan area (based on Nielsen Korea's paid platform), and not only doubled from the first episode, but also succeeded in capturing both ratings and buzz by ranking first in the TV-OTT drama hot topic survey in the second week of October (based on Good Data Corporation).
One of the top contributors to this popularity is the actors' passionate performance and attractive character play. Due to the nature of the role 'Jeongnyeoni', actors had to learn various skills such as sound, dance, and Gukgeuk acting, and after studying sound for as little as 1 to 3 years, 'Jungnyeoni' was released in front of the public. Kim Tae-ri (played by Yoon Jeong-nyeon) and Shin Ye-eun (played by Heo Young-seo) are at the center of the spotlight.
First, Kim Tae-ri once again confirmed the potential of 'Believement Tae-ri'. Kim Tae-ri, also known as the muse of the original, shows off her irreplaceable character digestibility by playing the role of Yoon Jeong-nyeon, a sound genius girl who came to Seoul as a bloodshot in Mokpo to become a Gukgeuk actor. In particular, in episodes 1 and 2, Kim Tae-ri drew viewers' exclamation for the first time by showing his sound skills where open vocalization and affection coexist through 'Namwonsanseong Fortress', 'Farewellga', 'Chuwol Manjeong', and 'Saeolga'. In addition, he drew favorable reviews by expressing pure and lively the inner side full of glistening eyes and wriggling potential with desire for dream, as well as the sticky Mokpo dialect. In addition, cute visuals such as 'human soil potatoes' or 'country dogs' are attracting viewers.
The favorable reviews for the performance of Shin Ye-eun, who showed a fiery rivalry with Kim Tae-ri, are also hot. Shin Ye-eun, who plays the role of Heo Young-seo, an elite researcher at Maeran Guk Theater Company who has a solid ability to sing, dance, and act in the play and a family background, perfectly depicts an effort-type genius who is anxious to be recognized by her mother behind her high-flying pride. In particular, the scene where Shin In-eun demonstrates her acting in 'Chunhyangjeon' as seen in front of Kim Tae-ri was the highlight of the second episode. Shin Ye-eun, who was consistent with a cold expression as if she had changed her face, instantly grabbed the audience by being possessed by a humorous banger, made the viewer shudder.
In particular, Shin Young-eun has emerged as a rising star in the industry by winning the New Fox Award at the 2nd Blue Dragon Series Awards. The image of him freely crossing from Park Yeon-jin in The Glory to Heo Young-seo in 'Jeong-nyeon' is instilling expectations in viewers.
