The actors of Kakao Entertainment's management label (co-CEO Ko Jung-hee, Jang Yoon-joong, hereinafter Kakao Entertainment) raise the heart rate of viewers around the world this spring with their colorful romance. From first love romance that summons fresh excitement to life-friendly romance that shoots down real consensus, contract marriage of the 21st century constitutional monarchy worldview, and anti-gwan romance that stimulates excitement in everyday life. Attention is focusing on the performance of actors who will wake up viewers' love cells properly.
Kim Min-ju (Management Forest), who has drawn a fresh aspect of youth, is drawing attention with her first love narrative in JTBC's Friday series "Shining" (script Lee Sook-yeon/director Kim Yoon-jin/production SLL, Kakao Entertainment). "Shining" is a drama about young people who share their own worlds becoming a light that shines on each other's beliefs and directions of life. Kim Min-joo is gaining sympathy by delicately portraying the emotion lines of her child, who collected her affection for her first love, passion for work, and the pain of losing her family.
The 19-year-old who raises her first love and the 20-year-old, who abandoned her relationship due to worries about the future, tickled the hearts of those who saw her as a youth where excitement and anxiety coexist, and the 30-year-old Mo Sang-ah continuing her mature love with Yeon Tae-seo, whom she met for the first time in 10 years. In particular, in the last episode, the appearance of Mo Sa-ah, who tried to keep her stay in her 20s until the end, caused a misunderstanding of Yeon Tae-seo and eventually broke up, caused regret.
Thinking of 10 years ago when he let go of his relationship with Yeon Tae-seo for the future, he felt intensely sorry for Yeon Tae-seo, who was hurt by him, and made viewers cry without even an excuse. The last story of the first love narrative, where affection and sorrow coexist, will be revealed in the final episode of "Shining," which will air on the 3rd (Friday).
Han Ji-min (BH Entertainment), who has shown lovely charms with various romances, is showing the essence of real-life empathy romance through JTBC's Saturday-Sunday drama "Efficient Meeting of Unmarried Men and Women" (script Lee Lee Lee-jin/director Lee Jae-hoon/production SLL). It depicts a story of a woman who decides to love on a blind date, meets two men with different charms, is attracted and shaken, and eventually finds the meaning of true love. Han Ji-min is the role of Lee Eui-young, who goes on a blind date by changing her love view to "Inmanchu (seeking artificial meeting), and is gaining sympathy from female viewers by continuing realistic concerns between dating and work. She portrays a talented career woman but is not good at romantic relationships with her acting skills, and is leading the play in a cheerful mood. She is also praised as a "roco queen" for her bright energy and perfect chemistry with her partners despite awkwardness and embarrassment caused by blind dates.
IU (Lee Dam Entertainment) will transform into a heroine who seeks to pioneer fate through contract marriage in MBC's new Friday-Saturday drama "21st Century Grand Prince Lady" (script Yoo Ji-won/director Park Joon-hwa, Bae Hee-young/planned Kang Dae-sun/production MBC, Kakao Entertainment), which will premiere on April 10. The 21st Century Grand Duchess depicts the romance of Sung Hee-joo (IU), a woman who is annoying because she is a commoner and the son of a king, who is a chaebol with everything in the background of the 21st century constitutional monarchy Korea, and Ian Dae-gun (Byeon Woo-seok), a sad man who can't have anything. IU took on the role of Sung Hee-joo, who boldly promotes marriage with Prince Ian, and started out as a contract marriage, but plans to reveal her deeper and deeper feelings of love. As a chaebol with excellent management skills, IU's confident appearance and colorful visuals as a corporate representative in the drama are also expected, and a fresh character who honestly reveals her ambitions by seeking to raise her status is expected to convey excitement and excitement at the same time.
Kim Go-eun (BH Entertainment), who has a reputation for her delicate emotional acting and three-dimensional character construction, will wake up viewers' love cells once again with the original TVing "Yumi's Cells Season 3," which will be released on April 13 (directed by Lee Sang-yeop/scripted by Song Jae-jeong, provided by Kim Kyung-ran/produced by TVing/produced by Studio Dragon, Mary Cow, Studio N). The work depicts a cell-stimulated empathy romance in which Yumi (Kim Go-eun), who became a star writer, laughs, cries, and falls in love once again due to an unexpected character who came like a bolt out of the blue in her daily life. Kim Go-eun plans to realistically portray the new romance that came to Yumi, who has grown through various relationships, as well as her daily life as a writer. In particular, he is foreshadowing a heart attack with a "hate view" romance to be held with PD Reindeer (Kim Jae-won), a relationship he met for work.
