[Editor’s Note] Issues in broadcasting, film, and entertainment through the eyes of reporter Choi Hye-jin (眼).

The re-evaluation of Jisoo, a member of the group Black Pink and an actor, has begun. Overcoming the controversy over his acting skills, he proved his unrivaled presence in the romantic comedy genre. This is the result of cleverly utilizing one's strengths.

Ji-Soo played Seo Mi-rae, a webtoon producer who falls into reality, in the Netflix series "Monthly Boyfriend," which was released on the 6th. "Monthly Boyfriend" is a romantic comedy in which webtoon producers who are tired of real life subscribe to and experience love through virtual love simulation.

Jisoo's strength in this work is her loveliness and visuals. This has become a powerful weapon that persuades fantasy's impracticality beyond just external factors.

Jisoo is the guide to the highly fictionalized "monthly boyfriend" service. First, he catches the attention of viewers with his unique lovely and cute charm. Then, it draws sympathy with realistic emotional lines and guides viewers to the world of "monthly boyfriend" services that are naturally unfamiliar.

It starts out as a fantasy, but the core of "Monthly Boyfriend" is a romantic comedy. In this genre, the visual of the leading actor is more than just an appearance. In this work, Ji-Soo personally proved that appearance can soon become a probability. This is why the prevailing comment is that "Ji-Soo's face is a narrative."

In particular, episodes with his virtual boyfriend, Seo Kang-joon, are overwhelming. The perfect visual combination of the two demonstrated the power to make viewers instantly immerse themselves in unrealistic settings.

Of course, it is pointed out that the vocalization and expressiveness of the intense emotional scene are disappointing. But empathy is more important than showing perfect technique in every scene. It is enough if the viewer can be excited with the main character. The index has already shown suction power beyond the passing point at that point.

The response of foreign media is more favorable than that of Korea. Major foreign media, including the U.S. TIME, said, "It is a customized role that best suits Ji-Soo." Global markets already see the index as the main player to lead K-Roco.

"Monthly Boyfriend" is a work in which Ji-Soo clearly realized how to use her charm as an actor. Ji-Soo makes good use of her strengths and plays as much as she wants in the play. As the actor enjoys the character, viewers focus on the joy and excitement of the "monthly boyfriend."

After all, good acting is in the power of willingly inviting viewers into the world of work before technical perfection. Through this work, Ji-Soo fully proved that the power lies with her. This is why there is no shortage to call it a "rediscovery of Jisoo" beyond the controversy over acting skills.
